Robust RNA-seq data analysis using an integrated method of ROC curve and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test

Shengping Yang et al.

Summary: Dichotomizing a continuous biomarker is a common approach in clinical settings. This paper compares two commonly used methods for selecting the cutoff value and introduces a new method that combines the Maximum Absolute Youden Index (MAYI) and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, providing more reliable and meaningful results in clinical applications.

A group-contribution model for predicting the physicochemical behavior of PFAS components for understanding environmental fate

Song-Thao Le et al.

Summary: This study investigates the factors controlling PFAS environmental fate and develops a group contribution model to predict PFAS interfacial partitioning. The model fits parameters to predict a wide range of environmental fate parameters for various PFAS, providing a tool for predicting PFAS fate in the absence of data.

Enhanced adsorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by edible, nutrient-amended montmorillonite clays

Meichen Wang et al.

Summary: Montmorillonites amended with carnitine and choline showed high binding capacity for PFAS in stomach-simulating conditions. The interactions of PFAS with amended clays were primarily through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, as well as hydrogen bonding. The study confirmed the potential of nutrient-amended clays to reduce the bioavailability of PFAS in contaminated water and diets.

Testing for differences between two distributions in the presence of serial correlation using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Kuiper's tests

John R. Lanzante

Summary: Testing for distributional differences in climate research often involves the KS and KU tests. However, ignoring temporal coherence due to daily autocorrelation in the data can lead to significant inference errors. These errors can be mitigated through effective use of look-up tables or broadly applying polynomial coefficients fit to simulation results.

PFAS removal by ion exchange resins: A review

Fuhar Dixit et al.

Summary: Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of anthropogenic organic compounds with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, and have raised global concerns due to their toxicity and bio-accumulative properties. The ion exchange (IX) process has been found to be an efficient technology for the remediation of PFAS-laden surface, ground and effluent wastewaters.

Enhanced removal of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid via polyelectrolyte functionalized ultrafiltration membrane: Effects of membrane modification and water matrix

Kunal Olimattel et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of PE functionalized UF membranes with LbL deposition of PAH and PAA coatings for removal of PFOS and PFOA. Results showed that the modification of the membrane led to increased removal efficiency of PFOS and PFOA primarily through size exclusion. The presence of HA in source water increased removal efficiency, while the coexistence of cations and HA further enhanced the removal of PFOS and PFOA.

Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes for highly efficient PFASs removal: overview, challenges and future perspectives

Teresa F. Mastropietro et al.

Summary: This article highlights the urgent need to address the shortage of clean and safe water resources due to factors such as population growth, consumerism, climate change, and pollution. It discusses the potential of reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membrane separation technologies in solving water scarcity issues, particularly in removing contaminants like PFASs. The challenges and future directions in improving membrane performance for PFAS removal are also explored, aiming to advance RO and NF technology for water treatment.
