A sensitive, simple, and rapid method is developed for ion-pair-based surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (IPSA-DLLME) and flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of cadmium in water samples. In this procedure, trace amounts of Cd2+ were converted to CdI42–, and after addition of a tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) solution as cationic surfactant the analyte was transformed to the ion-pair state. This cadmium species was extracted by fast injection of a solution containing 200 μL of chloroform and 800 μL of methanol as extraction and disperser solvents, respectively. The pH of the sample solution, concentration of iodide, TBAB amount, and the extractant volume were optimized using a 27-run Box–Behnken design with a triplicate central point. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration curve was linear in the range 1–200 μg L–1 (R2 = 0.9959); with the detection limit (signal/noise = 3) of 0.28 μg L–1. The relative standard deviations (RSD) for eight runs (Cd2+ = 10 μg L–1) and enrichment factor were found to be 3.04 % and 50, respectively. 相似文献
A low-cost and reliable method employing a hand scanner for simultaneous colorimetric quantification of food colorant mixtures including amaranth, brilliant blue, and tartrazine is presented. Compared to a spectrophotometer, a hand scanner is inexpensive, available in most work offices, and easier to operate by non-skilled users. The appropriate instrumental conditions for measuring were selected using a genetic algorithm (GA) coupled with partial least square (PLS) regression. Using the conditions selected by GA, PLS and multiple linear regression (MLR) were compared, and similar results for the two methods were obtained. Under the selected conditions for each of the colorants, artificial neural network (ANN) including three layers of nodes and a Levenberg-Marquardt learning rule was employed, which improved the results. The concentration ranges for the three colorants in the multivariate calibration models were 0.00–5.31mmolL–1 for amaranth, 0.00–1.85mmolL–1 for brilliant blue, and 0.00–21.57mmolL–1 for tartrazine. The minimum estimated relative standard error percentages (RSE%) for prediction of analytes in synthetic samples, using ANN with optimized parameters, were 16.8% for amaranth, 4.8% for brilliant blue, and 5.6% for tartrazine. A number of commercial food products were analyzed satisfactorily with the proposed method. 相似文献

The Fokker–Planck equation is a useful tool to analyze the transient probability density function of the states of a stochastic differential equation. In this paper, a multilayer perceptron neural network is utilized to approximate the solution of the Fokker–Planck equation. To use unconstrained optimization in neural network training, a special form of the trial solution is considered to satisfy the initial and boundary conditions. The weights of the neural network are calculated by Levenberg–Marquardt training algorithm with Bayesian regularization. Three practical examples demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. 相似文献
A highly selective electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on a modified carbon paste electrode with zinc ferrite nanoparticles (ZnFe2O4 NPs). The nanocomposite has attractive properties such as high surface-to-volume ratio and good electrocatalytic activity towards the drugs acetaminophen (AC), epinephrine (EP), and melatonin (MT), best at working voltages of 0.35, 0.09 and 0.55 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), respectively. The linear ranges (and detection limits) are 6.5–135 (0.4) μmol L?1 for AC, 5–100 (0.7) μmol L?1 for EP, and 6.5–145 (3) μmol L?1 for MT.

An increasingly wide variety of fluorescent compounds is used in biotechnology, genomics, immunoassays, array technologies, imaging, and drug discovery. Therefore, synthesis of fluorophores with novel structural features can be interesting and useful in various fields. In this paper, four new fluorescent heterocyclic compounds with high quantum yields are introduced. These new fluorophores are synthesized in moderate to high yields via regioselective nitration of 3-alkyl-8-(4-chlorophenyl)-3 H-imidazo[4′,5′:3,4]benzo[c]isoxazoles. The latter compounds are obtained from the reaction of 1-alkyl-5-nitro-1 H-benzoimidazoles with (4-chlorophenyl)acetonitrile in basic MeOH solution. Physical spectral (UV-vis, IR, 1HNMR, 13C NMR, NOESY and fluorescence) and analytical data have established the structures of synthesized compounds. The fluorescence properties of new fluorescent heterocyclic compounds are studied. The fluorescence of all compounds is very intense and fluorescence quantum yields are high (> 0.52). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to provide the optimized geometries, relevant frontier orbitals and the prediction of 1H NMR chemical shifts for confirming the exact structure of fluorescent compounds. Calculated electronic absorption spectra were also obtained by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method.
In this paper we study how prime filtrations and squarefree Stanley decompositions of squarefree modules over the polynomial
ring and over the exterior algebra behave with respect to Alexander duality. The results which we obtained suggest a lower
bound for the regularity of a
\mathbb Zn{\mathbb {Z}^n}-graded module in terms of its Stanley decompositions. For squarefree modules this conjectured bound is a direct consequence
of Stanley’s conjecture on Stanley decompositions. We show that for pretty clean rings of the form R/I, where I is a monomial ideal, and for monomial ideals with linear quotient our conjecture holds. 相似文献
