Erbium(Ⅲ) PVC membrane sensor based on N-(benzyloxycarbonyloxy)succinimide as a new neutral ionophore

In this study,a new Er³⁺ sensor based on N-（benzyloxycarbonyloxy）succinimide（BCS） as a neutral carrier has been constructed. The sensor exhibits potential linear response with a Nernstian slope of 20.5±0.4 mV/decade in the concentration range of 1.0×10^-6to 1.0×10^-2mol/L of Er³⁺.It has a very short response time（<10 s）,detection limit of 6.3×10^-7 mol/L and a good selectivity relative to a wide variety of other metal ions including common alkali,alkaline earth,heavy,and transition metal ions.It can be used in the pH range of 2.5-10.6 without any considerable divergence in potentials.The proposed sensor was successfully applied for the recovery of Er³⁺ ions spiked in tap and river water samples.     

N~1,N~2-Bis[1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]ethanedihydrazide as a neutral ionophore for preparation of a new Ho~(3+) PVC-membrane sensor

N¹,N²-Bis[1-（2-hydroxyphenyl）methylidene]ethanedihydrazide（MEH） was used as new compound which plays the role of an excellent ion carrier in the fabrication of a Ho（Ⅲ） membrane electrode.The electrode shows a good selectivity for Ho（Ⅲ） ion with respect to most common cations including alkali,alkaline earth,transition and heavy metal ions.This electrode has a wide linear dynamic range from 1.0×10^-6 to 1.0×10^-2 mol/L with a Nernstian slope of 19.8±0.3 mV per decade and a low detection limit of 5.8×10^-7 mol/L in the pH range of 2.5-9.8,while the response time was rapid（<10 s）.The suggested sensor was applied to the determination of Ho（Ⅲ） ions in tap water and river water samples.     

Distributed computation of virtual coordinates for greedy routing in sensor networks

Sensor networks are emerging as a paradigm for future computing, but pose a number of challenges in the fields of networking and distributed computation. One challenge is to devise a greedy routing protocol—one that routes messages through the network using only information available at a node or its neighbors. Modeling the connectivity graph of a sensor network as a 3-connected planar graph, we describe how to compute on the network in a distributed and local manner a special geometric embedding of the graph. This embedding supports a geometric routing protocol called “greedy routing” based on the “virtual” coordinates of the nodes derived from the embedding.     

Components of first-countability and various kinds of pseudoopen mappings

Some new classes of pseudoopen continuous mappings are introduced. Using these, we provide some sufficient conditions for an image of a space under a pseudoopen continuous mapping to be first-countable, or for the mapping to be biquotient. In particular, we show that if a regular pseudocompact space Y is an image of a metric space X under a pseudoopen continuous almost S-mapping, then Y is first-countable. Among our main results are Theorems 2.5, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14. See also Example 2.15, Corollary 2.7, and Theorem 2.18.

A novel palygorskite-modified carbon paste amperometric sensor for catechol determination

A palygorskite-modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) was constructed using graphite powder mixed with palygorskite particles. Compared with the unmodified CPE, the resulting palygorskite-modified CPE remarkably increases the peak currents of catechol, and greatly lowers the peak potential separation. Therefore, the palygorskite exhibits catalytic activity to catechol and significantly improves the determining sensitivity. The electrocatalytic activity of palygorskite is attributed to its high adsorption capability and the –OH groups on its surface, which plays an important role in the electron transfer between the modified CPE and the catechol in the solution. The sensor shows a linear response range between 5 and 100 μM catechol with a correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit was calculated as 0.57 μM (s/n = 3).     

Description of the response of a fiber optic velocity sensor applied to capillary gas chromatography

This paper explores the response of a novel fiber optics sensor allowing real-time determination of the migration rate of vapor zones in capillary gas chromatography. The sensitivity is related to the gradient of the vapor zone distribution in the capillary and it is highest when vapor zones show steep variations in concentration. The expected linearity between the height of the velocity peaks and the response of a thermal conductivity detector is demonstrated experimentally. The sensor can be used to infer an approximate value of the analyte diffusion coefficient from the time response. Finally, the time evolution of the envelope of the optical signal is explained with experimental evidences.     

Multiplexing Techniques for Noninterferometric Optical Point-Sensor Networks: A Review

This article presents a review of the strategies that have been both demonstrated and proposed for the multiplexing of multiple noninterferometric optical fiber point sensors to form a sensor network. The focus, which avoids consideration of interferometric sensor types, enables discussion of conventional multiplexing tech niques, namely, spatial, time division, frequency division, and wavelength division prior to dealing with combined or hybrid schemes, which exhibit the potential for increased multiplexing gain. Specific advantages and potential drawbacks of the different strategies are provided together with an indication of the number of point sensors that each multiplexing scheme can support.

Preparation and Sensitivity of SnO2 Grafted MCM-41 Sensor

Tin dioxide is one of the most widely used semiconductor gas sensor to detect reducing gases1-3. The sensing mechanism of SnO2 is usually based on the change of the resistance of the sensor in different gas environment. In air, the surface-adsorbed oxygen species on the surface of SnO2 act as surface acceptors of electrons, hence diminishing the conductivity of SnO2. However, when reducing gases such as H2, CO, or CH4 are introduced in the air stream, the resistance of the SnO2 sensor is …
