Recent developments in on-line electrochemical stripping analysis--an overview of the last 12 years

This paper presents an overview of the field of electrochemical stripping analysis in flow systems covering developments in the last 12 years (since 1998). The review discusses the flow schemes utilized in stripping analysis, techniques for on-line sample pre-treatment, the main pre-concentration and stripping/detection modes, the most important flow-through cell configurations used and the different types of working electrodes. Finally, applications in inorganic and organic analysis are discussed. Special emphasis is given to different novel approaches developed over the last few years that hold some promise for the future such as the use of the lab-on-a valve (LOV) configuration, microfluidic manifolds, flow-probes for remote sensing, environmentally friendly electrode materials and hyphenation with spectroscopic techniques.     

扫描离子电导显微镜的原理及应用

扫描离子电导显微镜(SICM)是一种扫描探针显微技术,通过测定超微玻璃管探针的离子电流,它能够非接触地扫描样品表面,进而研究样品的形貌及性质。SICM具有成像分辨率高、探针易于制备和对被成像物体无损伤等特点,特别适用于研究生理条件下的活体细胞,是一种与扫描电化学显微镜及原子力显微镜互补的扫描探针显微镜技术。SICM能够对软界面及表面,如活细胞表面的显微结构,进行高分辨率成像;并能够与其它技术联用,研究细胞形貌与功能的关系;还能控制沉积特定分子,实现纳米尺度的显微操作与加工。本文对SICM的发展历史、仪器构造、基本原理及应用进行了综述。     

Analysis of amphetamine and methamphetamine as emerging pollutants in wastewater and wastewater-impacted streams

The identification and quantitation of the non-ecstasy amphetamine-type stimulants (ATSs) amphetamine and methamphetamine in lakes, rivers, wastewater treatment plant influents, effluents, and biosolids are reviewed. Neither monitoring nor reporting is required of these ATSs, which are considered emerging pollutants, but they have been identified in the environment. Amphetamine and methamphetamine enter our water supply by human excretion after legal or illegal consumption and via manufacturing in clandestine laboratories. Analytical methodology for sampling, sample preparation, separation, and detection of ATSs is discussed. Reported occurrences of ATSs in the environment and their use in municipal sewage epidemiology are noted. Future research needs that challenge applications of analytical techniques are discussed. The review focuses on research reported from 2004 to 2009.     

Carbon nanotubes: Solid-phase extraction

Since the first report in 1991, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great possibilities for a wide variety of processes and applications, which include their use as electrodes, sensors (gas, enzymatic, etc.), nanoprobes, electronic materials, field emitters, etc. The combination of structures, dimensions and topologies has provided physical and chemical attractive properties that are unparalleled by most known materials. Their applications have also reached the Analytical Chemistry field in which CNTs are being used as matrices in matrix assisted laser desorption ionization, stationary phases in either gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography or capillary electrochromatography, also as pseudostationary phases in capillary electrophoresis, etc. as well as new solid-phase extraction (SPE) materials. Concerning this last application the number of works has considerably increased in the last five years. This review article pretends to focus on the most important features and different applications of SPE using CNTs (including matrix solid-phase dispersion and solid-phase microextraction) covering articles published since their introduction up to now (September 2009).

Cooperative advertising models in supply chain management: A review

This paper reviews articles on cooperative advertising, a topic which has gained substantial interest in the recent years. Thereby, we first briefly distinguish five different definitions of cooperative advertising which can be found in operations research literature. After that, we concentrate on vertical cooperative advertising, which is the most common object of investigation and is understood as a financial agreement where a manufacturer offers to pay a certain share of his retailer’s advertising expenditures. In total, we identified 58 scientific papers considering mathematical modeling of vertical cooperative advertising. These articles are then analyzed with regard to their general model setting (e.g., the underlying supply chain structure and design of the cooperative advertising program). After that, we explain the different demand and cost functions that are employed, whereupon we distinguish between static and dynamic models. The last dimension of our review is dedicated to the game-theoretic concepts which are mostly used to reflect different forms of distribution of power within the channel.     

Underwater and water-assisted laser processing: Part 1—general features, steam cleaning and shock processing

Water is always present in laser processing in air: as vapor, condensate or adsorbate. Water is the working environment in underwater processing—but it can also be added on purpose to gain better results: to avoid redeposition of debris, to cool the material, to increase plasma pressure or to conduct light. Water can also act as a chemical reagent. The first part of the article will review the advantages and disadvantages of laser processing in the presence of water, light transmission by water, and the two most mature methods of water-assisted laser processing: steam cleaning and shock processing.
