Cholinesterase sensors based on screen-printed electrodes modified with polyaniline, 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), and Prussian blue have been developed and tested for detection of anticholinesterase pesticides in aqueous solution and in spiked grape juice. The influence of enzyme source and detection mode on biosensor performance was explored. It was shown that modification of the electrodes results in significant improvement of their analytical characteristics for pesticide determination. Thus, the slopes of the calibration curves obtained with modified electrodes were increased twofold and the detection limits of the pesticides were reduced by factors of 1.6 to 1.8 in comparison with the use of unmodified transducers. The biosensors developed make it possible to detect down to 2×10–8 mol L–1 chloropyrifos-methyl, 5×10–8 mol L–1 coumaphos, and 8×10–9 mol L–1 carbofuran in aqueous solution and grape juice. The optimal conditions for grape juice pretreatment were determined to diminish interference from the sample matrix.Abbreviations ChE Cholinesterase - TCNQ 7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane - ChO Choline oxidase - AChE Acetylcholinesterase - BChE Butyrylcholinesterase - BSA Bovine serum albumin - 2-PAM 2-Pyridine aldoxime methiodide 相似文献
Some new statistics are proposed to test the uniformity of random samples in the multidimensional unit cube These statistics are derived from number-theoretic or quasi-Monte Carlo methods for measuring the discrepancy of points in . Under the null hypothesis that the samples are independent and identically distributed with a uniform distribution in , we obtain some asymptotic properties of the new statistics. By Monte Carlo simulation, it is found that the finite-sample distributions of the new statistics are well approximated by the standard normal distribution, , or the chi-squared distribution, . A power study is performed, and possible applications of the new statistics to testing general multivariate goodness-of-fit problems are discussed.
The purpose of this paper is to describe a method to determine whether a bivariate polynomial with rational coefficients is irreducible when regarded as an element in , the ring of polynomials with coefficients from the field of Laurent series in with rational coefficients. This is achieved by computing certain associated Puiseux expansions, and as a result, a polynomial-time complexity bound for the number of bit operations required to perform this irreducibility test is computed.
A novel technique for collimation testing with a circular Dammann grating is proposed. When the beam under test is incident on a one-order circular Dammann grating with limited aperture, double-humped radial rings will be generated at the back focal plane of a focusing lens. If the beam is collimated, the separation between the two rings will reach its minimal, otherwise the two rings will be apart from each other. Therefore, the degree of collimation of the tested beam can be estimated from the separation. The principle and experimental results of the method are presented. Owing to the simplicity and low cost of the method, it is a promising method for quickly checking the collimation of a laser beam. 相似文献
