Determination of Albumin Using CdS/SiO2 Core/shell Nanoparticles as Fluorescence Probes

CdS quantum dots (QD) were capped with SiO₂ via a microemulsion method for reducing the toxicity and imparting the biocompatibility of the CdS QD. The resulting CdS/SiO₂ core/shell nanoparticles (NP) showed an improved water‐solubility and stability even in pH 4.0 acidic medium. Their fluorescence could be effectively enhanced in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA), due to the passivation effect of BSA on the surface of the NP. Furthermore, the concentration dependence of the fluorescence intensity obeys the Langmuir‐type binding isotherm. Thus a novel fluorescence enhancement method for the determination of BSA has been developed using the less‐toxic CdS/SiO₂ core/shell NP as probes. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of calibration curve is 0.6–30 µg·mL^?1, and the detection limit is 0.18 µg·mL^?1. Compared with the water‐soluble CdS NP without SiO₂ shell, the CdS/SiO₂ core/shell NP exhibited slightly lower fluorescence response to BSA as well as other coexisting substances, such as heavy and transition metals, due to the inhibition of SiO₂ shell. The proposed method was applied to the quantification of BSA in synthetic and serum samples with satisfactory results.     

A core of voting games with improved foresight

This paper considers voting situations in which the vote takes place iteratively. If a coalition replaces the status quo a with a contestant b, then b becomes the new status quo, and the vote goes on until a candidate is reached that no winning coalition is willing to replace. It is well known that the core, that is, the set of undominated alternatives, may be empty. To alleviate this problem, Rubinstein [Rubinstein, A., 1980. Stability of decision systems under majority rule. Journal of Economic Theory 23, 150–159] assumes that voters look forward one vote before deciding to replace an alternative by a new one. They will not do so if the new status quo is going to be replaced by a third that is less interesting than the first. The stability set, that is, the set of undominated alternatives under this behavior, is always non-empty when preferences are strict. However, this is not necessarily the case when voters’ indifference is allowed. Le Breton and Salles [Le Breton, M., Salles, M., 1990. The stability set of voting games: Classification and generecity results. International Journal of Game Theory 19, 111–127], Li [Li, S., 1993. Stability of voting games. Social Choice and Welfare 10, 51–56] and Martin [Martin, M., 1998. Quota games and stability set of order d. Economic Letters 59, 145–151] extend the sophistication of the voters by having them look d votes forward along the iterative process. For d sufficiently large, the resulting set of undominated alternatives is always non-empty even if indifference is allowed. We show that it may be unduly large. Next, by assuming that other voters along a chain of votes are also rational, that is, they also look forward to make sure that the votes taking place later on will not lead to a worst issue for them, we are able to reduce the size of this set while insuring its non-emptiness. Finally, we show that a vote with sufficient foresight satisfies a no-regret property, contrarily to the classical core and the stability set.

Simulating electron momentum spectra of iso-C2H2Cl2： A study of the core electronic structure

Electron momentum spectroscopy(EMS) has been used for the first time to study core electronic structure of isoC2H2Cl2. In the present work, the pronounced difference between ionization energies of two C1 score orbitals(2A1 and 3A1) is seen as a chemical shift of 3 eV, which is due to different chemical environments of the related carbon atoms. Both the calculated spherically averaged core electron momentum distributions(MDs) and three-dimensional electron momentum density maps show that these core molecular orbitals(MOs) 2A1and 3A1 exhibit strong atomic orbital characteristics in real and momentum space. However, the core states 2B2 and 4A1, which are almost degenerate and related to two equivalent atoms, exhibit notable differences between the momentum and position depictions. In contrast to the position space, the momentum density maps of these two core MOs highlight the interference effects which are due to the nuclear positions. The 2B2 orbital of iso-C2H2Cl2 is the antisymmetric counterpart of the 4A1 core orbital in real space. However, it relates to the 4A1 orbital by an exchange of maxima and minima in momentum space. Due to interference effects between electrons scattered from different atomic centers, modulations with a periodicity of 1.12 a.u. can be seen in the computed momentum densities, which tend to decay with increasing electron momenta. Accordingly, the EMS can not only effectively image the electronic structure of compounds by studying valence orbitals, but also provides direct information on the nature of the nuclear geometry by investigating the core states.

On a weighted core inverse in a ring with involution

We define and investigate the e-core inverse and f-dual core inverse in a ring with involution as extensions of the core and dual core inverse, respectively. Using these definitions, we present and characterize the e-core partial order and the f-dual core partial order. We describe the sets of all elements a Rickart ?-ring which are below a given element under the e-core and f-dual core partial order. New characterizations of weighted-EP elements are given too.
