There is an increasing concern regarding the toxicity and environmental distribution and impact of brominated organic compounds
employed as flame retardants. Thus, present interest in searching for new analytical techniques and methods allowing a rapid,
simple and reliable detection of those compounds in materials and wastes potentially containing such flame retardants is not
surprising. The feasibility of using radiofrequency glow discharge plasma spectrometry coupled with optical emission spectrometry
(rf-GD-OES) as a rapid and simple tool to directly analyse bromine-containing flame-retardant polymeric layers is investigated
here. Polymeric layers for calibration were made by mixing appropriate amounts of tetrabromobisphenol A, bisphenol A, phloroglucinol
and diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate in tetrahydrofuran. The corresponding blanks (polymers without tetrabromobisphenol A)
were also prepared. Detection of bromine was investigated both in the visible (at 470.48 nm) and in the near-infrared (at
827.24 nm) regions, using a charge-coupled device for detection. Discharge parameters affecting the emission intensity of
bromine were first optimized (in argon and helium as possible plasma gases) and the analytical performance characteristics
were then evaluated. The best detection limit (0.044% Br) was achieved measuring Br I 827.24 nm in a He discharge, using a
forward power of 70 W and a pressure of 45 Torr. The linearity range extended up to 27% Br. Finally, the applicability of
the rf-GD-OES method proposed to the quantitative analysis of bromine in solid materials coated with flame-retardant commercial
paints was successfully demonstrated.

This study describes the application of Raman spectroscopy to the detection of drugs of abuse and noncontrolled substances
used in the adulteration of drugs of abuse on human nail. Contamination of the nail may result from handling or abusing these
substances. Raman spectra of pure cocaine hydrochloride, a seized street sample of cocaine hydrochloride (77%), and paracetamol
could be acquired from drug crystals on the surface of the nail. An added difficulty in the analytical procedure is afforded
by the presence of a nail varnish coating the nail fragment. By using confocal Raman spectroscopy, spectra of the drugs under
nail varnish could be acquired. Spectra of the drugs could be readily obtained nondestructively within three minutes with
little or no sample preparation. Raman spectra could be acquired from drug particles with an average size of 5–20 μm. Acquisition
of Raman point maps of crystals from both pure and street samples of cocaine hydrochloride under nail varnish is also reported.

Impedance spectroscopy is proposed as the transduction principle for detecting the hybridization of DNA complementary strands.
In our experiments, different DNA oligonucleotides were used as model gene substances. The gene probe is first immobilized
on a graphite-epoxy composite working electrode based genosensor. Detection principle is based on changes of impedance spectra
of a redox marker, the ferro/ferricyanide couple, after hybridization with target DNA. Resistance offered to the electrochemical
reaction serves as the working signal, allowing for an unlabelled gene assay.

Enzymatically cleaved glycans from sub-milligram quantities of erythropoietin (EPO) and ovalbumin have been analyzed, without
further purification, by two-dimensional diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. At NMR sample concentrations
below 50 μmol L−1 the major components of the oligosaccharide fractions could be distinguished by their anomeric proton chemical shift and
their size-dependent diffusion coefficients.

The application of near-infrared (NIR) dyes (λ
em > 750 nm) to the analysis of biological samples shows much promise, because the long emission wavelengths of such dyes allow
interferences from biomolecule matrices to be minimized. In this paper, a novel NIR dye, 5,5′-dicarboxy-1,1′-disulfobutyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine
(DCDSTCY) has been developed for the spectrophotometric determination of total protein in serum. Under acidic conditions,
the binding of DCDSTCY to proteins caused a new peak at 878 nm, the height of which was proportional to the concentration
of protein. The linear range of the method was found to be 0.04–0.5 μg mL−1 for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA), and detection limits of 5 ng mL−1 were obtained for these substances. The maximum binding number of BSA with DCDSTCY was measured to be 133. The method proposed
here has been applied to the quantitation of total protein in serum, and recoveries of 96.6–104% were achieved.

A model developed for a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in helium, used as a new spectroscopic source in analytical chemistry,
is presented in this paper. The model is based on the fluid approach and describes the behavior of electrons, He+ and ions, He metastable atoms, He atoms in higher excited levels, and He2 dimers. The He ground-state atoms are regarded as background gas. The characteristic effect of charging/discharging of the
dielectrics which cover both electrodes is also simulated. Typical results of the model include the distribution of potential
inside the plasma (and the potential drop across the dielectrics), the electric current and gap voltage as a function of time
for a given applied potential profile, the spatial and temporal number-density profiles of the different plasma species, and
the relative contributions of the mechanisms of their production and loss.

N-K electron energy-loss near-edge structures for TiN/VN layers: an ab initio and experimental study

We study N-K-edge electron energy-loss near-edge structures for well-defined TiN/VN bilayers grown on a MgO(100) substrate
by both calculations and experiments. The structural relaxations and the electronic structure of TiN/VN multilayers are calculated
using the Vienna Ab Initio Simulation Package computer code, which uses density functional theory to describe the electronic
interaction. The effects of the core hole created in the excitation process are included in the calculations. For VN, off-stoichiometric
effects due to nitrogen vacancies are modelled. The partial density of states (PDOS) for the N-K edge of atoms in the vicinity
of the TiN/MgO interface revealed that two new peaks appear between 7 and 9 eV instead of a broad shoulder typical for the
bulk. For the VN/TiN interface, the PDOS is modified only slightly, owing to similar bonding on both sides of the interface,
and is thus very similar to the respective bulk spectra. An experimental spectrum taken at the VN/TiN interface is, however,
well described by an average of the simulated spectra for VN and TiN bulk (interface). Such a finding is characteristic of
an intermixed interface.

Endospores and endospore-forming bacteria were studied by Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectra were recorded from Bacillus licheniformis LMG 7634 at different steps during growth and spore formation, and from spore suspensions obtained from diverse Bacillus and Paenibacillus strains cultured in different conditions (growth media, temperature, peroxide treatment). Raman bands of calcium dipicolinate
and amino acids such as phenylalanine and tyrosine are more intense in the spectra of sporulating bacteria compared with those
of bacteria from earlier phases of growth. Raman spectroscopy can thus be used to detect sporulation of cells by a characteristic
band at 1,018 cm–1 from calcium dipicolinate. The increase in amino acids could possibly be explained by the formation of small acid-soluble
proteins that saturate the endospore DNA. Large variations in Raman spectra of endospore suspensions of different strains
or different culturing conditions were observed. Next to calcium dipicolinate, tyrosine and phenylalanine, band differences
at 527 and 638 cm–1 were observed in the spectra of some of the B. sporothermodurans spore suspensions. These bands were assigned to the incorporation of cysteine residues in spore coat proteins. In conclusion,
Raman spectroscopy is a fast technique to provide useful information about several spore components.

Recent advances in nanotechnology have enabled the development of nanoscale sensors that outperform conventional biosensors.
This review summarizes the nanoscale biosensors that use aptamers as molecular recognition elements. The advantages of aptamers
over antibodies as sensors are highlighted. These advantages are especially apparent with electrical sensors such as electrochemical
sensors or those using field-effect transistors.

The present work describes, for the first time, in situ electrochemical preparation of dendrimer-encapsulated Cu nanoparticles
using a self-assembled monolayer of fourth-generation amine-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer as the template. Atomic
force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies of the modified surface confirmed the presence of
Cu nanoparticles entrapped in dendrimer film. Au electrode modified with a monolayer of the dendrimer enables preconcentration
and subsequent voltammetric detection of Cu2+ at picomolar concentrations. Further, Cu nanoparticles in the dendrimer monolayer could be electrochemically derivatised
to Cu hexacyanoferrate, which exhibits specific crystal planes, unlike the random distribution of crystal planes in bulk-formed
Cu hexacyanoferrate, which is another catalytically active material for sensor applications.

Purification methods for proteomics samples are of crucial concern for improving the quality of the sample delivered to the
mass spectrometer. They constitute the link between the mass spectrometer and protein processing and peptide isolation steps
that usually require solvents, buffers, or detergents completely incompatible with MS-analysis conditions. This work describes
three new clean-up procedures using synthetic membranes and polymer media and compares them with standard procedures. The
efficiency of each of the purification procedures was studied via application to four standards and two membrane proteins.
This work highlights the importance of versatility in sample preparation, especially for MS-based proteomic investigations.

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a nonlinear laser-spectroscopy technique suitable for analysis of adsorbed molecules. The
sub-monolayer sensitivity of SFG spectroscopy enables vibrational spectra to be obtained with high specificity for a variety
of molecules on a range of surfaces, including metals, oxides, and semiconductors. The use of ultra-short laser pulses on
time-scales of picoseconds also makes time-resolved measurements possible; this can reveal ultrafast transient changes in
molecular arrangements. This article reviews recent time-resolved SFG spectroscopy studies revealing site-hopping of adsorbed
CO on metal surfaces and the dynamics of energy relaxation at water/metal interfaces.

A new DNA hybridization analytical method using a microfluidic channel and a molecular beacon-based probe (MB-probe) is described.
A stem-loop DNA oligonucleotide labeled with two fluorophores at the 5′ and 3′ termini (a donor dye, TET, and an acceptor
dye, TAMRA, respectively) was used to carry out a fast and sensitive DNA analysis. The MB-probe utilized the specificity and
selectivity of the DNA hairpin-type probe DNA to detect a specific target DNA of interest. The quenching of the fluorescence
resonance energy transfer (FRET) signal between the two fluorophores, caused by the sequence-specific hybridization of the
MB-probe and the target DNA, was used to detect a DNA hybridization reaction in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic
channel. The azoospermia gene, DYS 209, was used as the target DNA to demonstrate the applicability of the method. A simple
syringe pumping system was used for quick and accurate analysis. The laminar flow along the channel could be easily controlled
by the 3-D channel structure and flow speed. By injecting the MB-probe and target DNA solutions into a zigzag-shaped PDMS
microfluidic channel, it was possible to detect their sequence-specific hybridization. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
(SERS) was also used to provide complementary evidence of the DNA hybridization. Our data show that this technique is a promising
real-time detection method for label-free DNA targets in the solution phase.

The differentiation of proteins commonly found as binding media in paintings is presented based on spectrally resolved and
time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and total emission spectroscopy. Proteins from eggs and animal glue were analysed
with pulsed laser excitation at 248 nm (KrF excimer) and 355 nm (third harmonic of Nd:YAG) for spectrally resolved measurements,
and at 337 nm (N2) and 405 nm (N2 pumped dye laser) for spectrally resolved lifetime measurements and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM). Total emission
spectra of binding media are used for the interpretation of LIF spectra. Time-resolved techniques become decisive with excitation
at longer wavelengths as fluorescence lifetime permits the discrimination amongst binding media, despite minimal spectral
differences; spectrally resolved measurements of fluorescence lifetime have maximum differences between the binding media
examined using excitation at 337 nm, with maximum observed fluorescence at 410 nm. FLIM, which measures the average lifetime
of the emissions detected, can also differentiate between media, is non-invasive and is potentially advantageous for the analysis
of paintings.

A high-current pulsed hollow cathode discharge was used to study the role of atomic and ionic metastables involved in ionization
plasma processes. We observed the enhancement of the spectral emission lines of noble gas ions in the afterglow. A study of
the processes that involve atomic and ionic metastables is of great interest since it should lead to a better understanding
of and enhanced control over the ionization mechanisms crucial to analytical glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) analysis.

In this work we show how energy-filtered imaging can be used to obtain spectrum images of electron energy-loss spectrometric
data. Focus is placed on improved energy resolution within these data sets. Using two multilayer samples (GaN/AlN and InP/InAs),
we demonstrate the advantages of spectrum-imaging and its extended mapping capabilities. Plasmon-ratio maps are used to quickly
create high-contrast material maps with high signal-to-noise ratio, ratio-contrast plots are used to gain optimum settings
for the ratio maps, and plasmon-position maps are used to map small shifts of the energy position of bulk plasmon peaks.

The simultaneous use of several fluorescent reporter dyes in a multicomponent boronic acid-based glucose sensing system is
reported. In one application, two dyes with widely different emission wavelengths are used to report changes in glucose concentration.
A third glucose-insensitive dye was then added to act as a reference dye and provide for a ratiometric correction to the two
reporter dye signals. The inclusion of such a reference dye reduces errors arising from sources such as fluctuations in lamp
intensity and sample dilution.

The present study deals with the application of self-organizing maps (SOM) and multiway principal-components analysis to classify,
model, and interpret a large monitoring data set for surface water quality. The chemometric methods applied made it possible
to reveal specific quality patterns of the chemical and biological parameters used to monitor the water quality (relation
between water temperature, turbidity, hardness, colibacteria), seasonal impacts during the long period of observation and
the relative independence on the spatial location of the sampling sites (water supply sources for the City of Trieste).
