Molecularly engineered graphene surfaces for sensing applications: A review

Graphene is scientifically and commercially important because of its unique molecular structure which is monoatomic in thickness, rigorously two-dimensional and highly conjugated. Consequently, graphene exhibits exceptional electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties. Herein, we critically discuss the surface modification of graphene, the specific advantages that graphene-based materials can provide over other materials in sensor research and their related chemical and electrochemical properties. Furthermore, we describe the latest developments in the use of these materials for sensing technology, including chemical sensors and biosensors and their applications in security, environmental safety and diseases detection and diagnosis.     

Incorporating the learning effect into data envelopment analysis to measure MSW recycling performance

The effect of organizational learning, which results in continuous improvement of organizational performance over time, has been widely discussed. The cumulative learning effect may form as a source of intellectual capital. Thus far, the static data envelopment analysis (DEA) model has not been used to examine the longitudinal learning effect. Therefore, a two-stage approach is developed together with the estimation of a latent learning effect using time-series data; the estimated learning effect is then used as an input in the DEA Slacks-Based Measure (SBM) model. The proposed DEA SBM model can be used to investigate the efficiency of the organizational learning effect of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) recycling systems.     

Thermosensitive graphene nanocomposites formed using pyrene‐terminal polymers made by RAFT polymerization

Thermosensitive graphene‐polymer composites have been prepared by attaching poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) onto the basal plane of graphene sheets via π‐π stacking. Pyrene‐terminated PNIPAAm was synthesized using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization via a pyrene‐functional RAFT agent. Aqueous solutions of the graphene‐polymer composites were stable and thermosensitive. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of pyrene‐terminated PNIPAAm was measured to be 33 °C. When the pyrene‐functional polymer was attached to graphene the resultant composites were also thermosensitive in aqueous solutions exhibiting a reversible suspension behavior at 24 °C. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis revealed that the thickness of a graphene‐PNIPAAm (M_n: 10,000 and PDI: 1.1) sheet was ～5.0 nm. The surface coverage of polymer chains on the graphene basal plane was calculated to be 7.2 × 10^?11 mol cm^?2. The graphene‐PNIPAAm composite material was successfully characterized using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR‐IR) spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

冠心病患者血脂分析与HCY测定的临床应用

目的通过研究并分析出冠心病患者的血脂组成成分,然后通过使用HCY测定的方法测定冠心病患者血清中的同型半胱氨酸含量的实际临床应用。方法 50例患有冠心病的患者和50名健康人员的血清成分中同型半胱氨酸含量,其中治疗组有25例无心肌梗塞的冠心病患者,其余25例研究对象均为有心肌梗塞患者,然后对治疗组患者的血脂组成成分进行测定并分析比较出异常成分。结果通过研究后发现治疗组的研究对象血清中的同型半胱氨酸含量远多于对照组的50例健康人员血清中的同型半胱氨酸含量,其中25例治疗组心肌梗塞患者的同型半胱氨酸含量多于25例治疗组的无心肌梗塞患者的同型半胱氨酸含量,具有统计学意义。冠心病患者的血脂组成成分Apo B100的值增加,冠心病患者的Apo A1的值和Apo A1与Apo B100的比值均减小,经统计学分析得出,具有统计学意义。结论血清同型半胱氨酸的含量改变,以及血脂中Apo B100的值和Apo A1的值与Apo B100的比值发生改变对治疗诊断与预防冠心病都有十分重要的价值。     

Asymptotic Behavior of Global Classical Solutions of Quasilinear Non-strictly Hyperbolic Systems with Weakly Linear Degeneracy

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of global classical solutions of the Cauchy problem for general quasilinear hyperbolic systems with constant multiple and weakly linearly degenerate characteristic fields. Based on the existence of global classical solution proved by Zhou Yi et al., we show that, when t tends to infinity, the solution approaches a combination of C1 travelling wave solutions, provided that the total variation and the L1 norm of initial data are sufficiently small.
