Electrochemical detection of nitrate,nitrite and ammonium for on-site water quality monitoring

This review examines the most recent electrochemical developments for nitrate, nitrite and ammonium detection for on-site water monitoring. There remains a high demand for effective field-based detection of the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) analytes to aid in mitigating nitrogen loading. Electrochemical approaches show increasing potential to fill this role as advancements in nanotechnology continually improve analytical performance and on-site applicability. However, translating these improvements into the field still faces the resonating challenges of reaching analytical proficiency (selectivity, sensitivity, robustness, stability), practical end-user functionality, minimal matrix interferences and cost effectiveness. Herein, we elaborate on these challenges via a critical evaluation of current studies and examine how realistic the prospects of on-site nitrate, nitrite and ammonium are. We also present recommendations in addressing these gaps to conclude the review.     

Aspects of trapping efficiency and matrix effects in the development of a restricted‐access‐media‐based trap‐and‐elute liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry method

Online restricted access media with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry for the direct analysis of small molecules in biological fluids represents an interesting alternative to time‐demanding traditional sample preparation techniques. In this study, important considerations concerning the development of a restricted access media with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry method for the analysis of dansylated estrogens in biological matrix are presented. Parameters influencing peak tailing and trapping efficiency were evaluated. The key factors included the ion strength of the mobile phase, a loading flow rate of the sample onto the trap column, and selection of a proper stationary phase of the trap column for a given set of analytes. These parameters have proven to be essential for minimizing any unwanted chromatographic peak tailing. The bulk derivatization of the analytes in the biological fluids and its relationship to the observed matrix effects was evaluated as well.

田间黄花梨糖度的可见/近红外光谱检测方法

提出了一种可克服背景光对田间光谱测量影响的方法。采集田间水果光谱时,环境背景光的干扰强,难以获取样品有效光谱信息。在田间采用套袋方式遮挡现场光线能得到较理想的结果,但检测效率低,仪器暗场校正和参考光谱校正等方法有利于减小模型误差,但不能有效消除环境光照的干扰。通过在测量探头前加装快门,打开快门时测得样品在仪器光源和背景光共同作用下的现场光谱,关闭快门时测得样品仅在现场环境光线作用下的背景光谱,将背景光谱从现场光谱中扣除进行背景光校正。利用偏最二乘法建立田间(背景光校正前、后)以及室内样品光谱建立黄花梨糖度预测模型,预测值与真实值的相关系数分别为0.1,0.69,0.92,均方根误差分别为0.89。Brix,0.42。Brix,0.27。Brix,预测集的RPD分别为0.79,1.69,2.58,结果表明实验所采用的背景光校正方法可有效减小田间环境光照对黄花梨可见/近红外光谱采集的影响,可用于田间水果的近红外光谱采集,有利于充分发挥可见/近红外光谱技术在果实采收前的田间管理、采收成熟度检测等方面的潜力。     

Pyrene Derivate Functionalized with Acetylene for Organic Field Effect Transistors

A new X-shaped compound (SiPy) functionalized with acetylene bonds in the 1-, 3-, 6-, and 8-positions of the pyrene core has been synthesized by Sonogashira coupling reactions. Its photophysical, thermal, and organic field effect transistor (OFET) properties as well as the film morphologies have been investigated. SiPy exhibits high stability which is evidenced by thermal gravimetric analysis. The atomic force microscopy images reveal that the morphol-ogy of thin films depends on the substrate temperature. The film OFET devices based on SiPy were constructed and exhibited p-type performances.     

Thresholds of moving average of stationary processes for given on target significant levels

A Markov chain is associated to a finite order one-sided moving average of a discrete time stationary Gaussian process. A method is developed to specify thresholds for given on target significant levels in the sense that in the long run the probability that the moving average process lies in [L _i , L _i+1), will be π _i , i = 0,. . . ,m. Special inputs, AR(1) and MA(1) are treated in details. This article extends the work of Soltani et al. in (Commun Stat Theory Methods 36(14):2595–2606) where the inputs were assumed to be i.i.d.; and a single threshold was considered. This research was supported by Kuwait University, Research Administration, Research Grant No.[SS08/06].     

On-capillary derivatization and analysis of amino acids in human plasma by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection: application to diagnosis of aminoacidopathies

A capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection method for the analysis of free amino acids (AA) in human plasma was developed. A mixture of 16 AA was on-capillary derivatized with 3-(2-furoyl)quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (FQ) and separated inside the capillary in less than 30 min using 70 mM borax-3.5 mM SDS pH 9.3 as running buffer. Four plasma samples from a healthy donor and patients suffering from phenylketonuria, propionic acidemia, and tyrosinemia type II were studied. Repeatabilities calculated as intra-day RSD (n = 3) values for the AA involved in these aminoacidopathies (glycine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine) were in the range of 0.3 to 1.2% for migration time and 3.7 to 8.2% for peak height. Reproducibilities calculated as inter-day RSD (n = 4) values for the same AA were between 0.7 and 1.4% for migration time and 4.7 and 9.1% for peak height. A fast qualitative analysis allowed the identification of the corresponding disease by comparing the electrophoretic profiles from the patient and the healthy donor and noting the increased level of the specific AA accompanying each individual disease. The results of the quantitative analysis for glycine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine in the plasma samples studied using the developed method showed a good agreement with those provided by the Center of Diagnosis of Molecular Diseases using a standard method for AA analysis.     

Anion-selective exhaustive injection-sweeping microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography

In this study, anion-selective exhaustive injection-sweeping (ASEI-sweeping) technique, which is a selective on-line sample concentration technique, was first proposed in microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) for analyses of eight acidic phenolic compounds. In contrast to a capillary that is typically filled with nonmicellar background solution in conventional ASEI-sweeping MEKC method, in the proposed ASEI-sweeping MEEKC method, a capillary is filled with a low pH microemulsion solution (pH 2.0), and then with a short acid plug (pH 2.0, 1.9 cm) before field-amplified sample injection. This proposed design has two functions. First, the microemulsion solution that is present at the front of capillary column is able to avoid phase separation of microemulsion solution during MEEKC separation. Second, the presence of the short acid plug would effectively limit the partition behavior of acid analytes with the oil droplets in the microemulsion during field-amplified sample injection; otherwise, the stacking effect of acid analytes would be markedly reduced. This optimal ASEI-sweeping MEEKC method afforded about 96,000-fold to 238,000-fold increases in detection sensitivity in terms of peak areas without any separation efficiency loss when compared to normal MEEKC separation. Furthermore, trace levels (about 3 ng/g) of gallic acid and catechin in foods were also detected successfully by the proposed ASEI-sweeping MEEKC technique.     

Molecular dynamics simulations of liquid methanol and methanol-water mixtures with polarizable models

A polarizable model for simulation of liquid methanol, compatible with the COS/G2 water model, has been developed using the Charge-on-Spring (COS) technique. The model consists of three point charges, with one polarizable center on the oxygen atom. The Lennard-Jones parameters on the oxygen atom together with the molecular polarizability were varied to reproduce the experimental heat of vaporization and density of liquid methanol at ambient conditions. We examined the energies of various methanol dimers in the gas phase and compared them with values obtained from ab initio calculations. The model was then used to study the thermodynamic, dynamic, structural, and dielectric properties of liquid methanol as well as of a methanol-water mixture. A microscopic picture of the structure of pure liquid methanol and of the methanol-water mixture is provided. Good agreement was found between the results from our model simulations and available experimental and ab initio calculation data. In particular, the experimental dielectric permittivity of 32 could be reproduced, which had been shown to be difficult when using nonpolarizable models.
