A pre-enrichment procedure using diethyldithiocarbamate-modified TiO2 nanoparticles for the analysis of biological and natural water samples by ICP-AES

In this article, a new method that utilizes a diethyldithiocarbamate-modified nanometre TiO₂ (TiO₂–DDTC) as solid-phase extractant has been developed for simultaneous preconcentration of trace Cu(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) prior to measurement by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The separation/preconcentration conditions of analytes, which include the effects of pH, sample flow rate and volume, elution conditions, and interfering ions on the recovery of the analytes, were investigated. At pH 5, the adsorption capacity of modified nanometre TiO₂–DDTC was found to be 6.2, 19, 4.7, and 6.0?mg/g for Cu(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II), respectively. According to the definition of IUPAC, the detection limits (3σ) of this method for Cu(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) were 0.41, 1.7, 0.39, and 0.52?ng/mL, respectively. The proposed method achieved satisfied results when applied to the determinations of trace Cu(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) in biological and natural water samples.     

Synthesis and Properties of Oval‐Shaped Iron Oxide/Ethylene Glycol Mesostructured Nanosheets

We have demonstrated a new and facile bottom‐up protocol for the effective synthesis of oval‐shaped iron oxide/ethylene glycol (FeO_x/EG) mesostructured nanosheets. Deprotonated ethylene glycol molecules are intercalated into iron oxide layers to form an interlayer distance of 10.6 Å. These materials display some peculiar magnetic properties, such as the low Morin temperature T_M and ferromagnetism below this T_M value. CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles can be loaded onto these mesostructured nanosheets to produce nanocomposites that combine both magnetic and fluorescence functions. In addition, iron oxide/propanediol (or butanediol) mesostructured materials with increased interlayer distances can also be synthesized. The developed synthetic strategy may be extended toward the creation of other ultrathin mesostructured nanosheets.     

pH响应性P(MMA-co-MAA-co-HEMA)微凝胶的制备及其性能

利用预乳化乳液法制备了不同单体配比的聚(甲基丙烯酸甲酯-co-甲基丙烯酸-co-甲基丙烯酸羟乙酯)(P(MMA-co-MAA-co-HEMA))微凝胶分散液;采用透射电子显微镜、动态光散射仪研究了微凝胶的微观形态、粒径大小及其溶胀率;利用试管倒转法对微凝胶分散液的凝胶化相转变行为进行了研究,借助椎板流变仪考察了所形成胶态凝胶的储能模量与单体配比、微凝胶分散液浓度和温度的关系.结果表明,所制备的微凝胶的数均粒径为90 nm左右,当MMA与MAA的投料质量不变时,随着HEMA含量的增加,分散液凝胶化所需的临界最小浓度增大,临界最大pH值减小,胶态凝胶的储能模量增加.当保持单体MMA与HEMA的投料质量不变时,随着单体MAA投料质量的增多,微凝胶的数均粒径和溶胀率增大,胶态凝胶的储能模量先升高后降低;当MAA占单体总摩尔数的25%时,浓度为15 wt%的微凝胶分散液在扫描频率为100 rad/s时,胶态凝胶的储能模量最高可达2×104Pa.这类微凝胶分散液在组织工程支架材料方面有潜在的应用价值.     

一种基于STM32的NAND flash的块分配框架设计

STM32对大容量数据文件存储与管理问题可通过NAND flash来解决。而NAND flash的高效管理需要文件系统参与。NAND flash有特殊的块读写及擦除机制,一般的嵌入式文件系统组织结构并不完全兼容NAND flash。针对NAND flash的特点兼顾STM32的资源承受力要提出新的NAND flash块分配框架,框架通过块分配槽这种数据结构,在不使用块分配表与垃圾表的情况下,实现了NAND flash均衡负载与垃圾块的回收;同时通过节点分配栈与文件节点表的配合来提高STM32对文件的读写速度,空间利用率和系统性能。仿真实验和计算结果表明该块分配框架可有效提高NAND flash块的均衡负载与节省RAM空间。

Electrophile-driven copper-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 3-halogen quinoline derivatives

A convenient and regioselective one-pot synthesis of 3-chloride or 3-bromide quinoline derivatives was achieved through a Grignard addition reaction by alkynyl Grignard regent to o-trifluoroacetyl aniline and a Cu(II)-catalyzed cyclization–halogenation tandem reaction with aqueous HCl or HBr as electrophilic reagent.     

Cd2+ Counterion-Assisted Synthesis of Uniform CdS Nanospheres Capped with the Anionic Surfactant Sodium dodecylsulfate

Uniform cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanospheres were successfully prepared in the presence of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) at an appropriate concentration and relatively low temperature. Zeta potential data were collected for the three kinds of CdS particles to verify the existence of the Cd²⁺counterion on the CdS surface and Charge reversal; this was crucial for the explanation of how the anionic SDS surfactant molecules adsorbed on the negatively charged surface. Moreover, we confirmed that SDS had coated the surface of CdS nanospheres using infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. An counterion assisted mechanism accounting for synthesis of CdS nanospheres could be widely used in the synthesis of nanomaterials if there is specific adsorption of the counterion. The CdS nanospheres showed good performance for the rapid adsorption of methylene blue.     

Phase‐preserved macroscopic visible‐light carpet cloaking beyond two dimensions

Transformation optics, a recent geometrical design strategy of light manipulation with both ray trajectories and optical phase controlled simultaneously, promises an invisibility cloaking device that can render a macroscopic object invisible even to a scientific instrument measuring optical phase. Recent “carpet” cloaks have extended their cloaking capability to broadband frequency ranges and macroscopic scales, but they only demonstrated the recovery of ray trajectories after passing through the cloaks, while whether the optical phase would reveal their existence still remains unverified. In this paper, a phase‐preserved macroscopic visible‐light carpet cloak is demonstrated in a geometrical construction beyond two dimensions. As an extension of previous two‐dimensional (2D) macroscopic carpet cloaks, this almost‐three‐dimensional carpet cloak exhibits three‐dimensional (3D) invisibility for illumination near its center (i.e. with a limited field of view), and its ideal wide‐angle invisibility performance is preserved in multiple 2D planes intersecting in the 3D space. Optical path length is measured with a broadband pulsed‐laser interferometer, which provides unique experimental evidence on the geometrical nature of transformation optics.

     

Treatment and nursing values of a new mixed-ligand In(III)-based complex on acute ischemic stroke

In the current research, through employing the dual ligand method, a novel coordination polymer has been produced in success via the reaction between H₂glu and In(NO₃)₃·6H₂O in the existence of the nitrogen-donor chelating 2,2′-bpy ligand in CH₃CN In(III) and DMF mixed solvent, and its chemical formula is In(glu)(Hglu)(2,2′-bpy) (1, 2,2′-bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine and H₂glu is glutaric acid). Its application values on the acute stroke were assessed and the corresponding mechanism was investigated simultaneously. Firstly, the levels of inflammatory response in the astrocytes were evaluated by ELISA by measuring the content of inflammatory cytokines released into cerebrospinal fluid. Additionally, the miRNA199a relative expression levels in astrocytes were measured via exploiting real time RT-PCR. Molecular docking simulation demonstrated that synthesized In ion complex exhibited excellent biological activities, multiple binding interactions were formed by the carboxyl groups on the In ion complex.
