TL;DR: In this article, Aspergillus cvjetkovicii produced 2(3H)-benzofuranone at early stage to suppress MoPer1 gene expression, leading to inhibited mycelial growth, while azulene produced lately was involved in blocking of appressorium formation by downregulation of MgRac1.

TL;DR: Investigation of the role of soil texture in determining the attenuation of contaminant soil gas concentration from groundwater source to receptor building shows no obvious relationship between soil particle size and groundwater source-to-subslab except in the case of a shallow contaminant source, suggesting that an appropriate focus of VI site investigation should include the shallow soil beneath the building foundation.

TL;DR: Results by this new model indicate that even relatively low effective diffusion coefficients of concrete can facilitate the oxygen transport into the subsurface below the building and create oxygenated conditions below the whole slab foundation favorable for petroleum vapor biodegradation.

TL;DR: The physical experimental results were used to examine a previously developed analytical vapor intrusion model including the influences of layering and surface conditions and indicate that the attenuation of soil gas concentration with lateral diffusion is observed to be the most significant if with a low-permeability soil layer at the bottom and a high-Permeability layer on top.
