A panel of six luminescent iridium(III) complexes were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to act as G-quadruplex-selective probes. The novel iridium(III) complex 1 was found to be highly selective for G-quadruplex DNA, and was employed for the construction of a label-free G-quadruplex-based adenosine detection assay in aqueous solution. Two different detection strategies were investiga...

The primate brain contains distinct areas densely populated by face-selective neurons. One of these, face-patch ML, contains neurons selective for contrast relationships between face parts. Such contrast-relationships can serve as powerful heuristics for face detection. However, it is unknown whether neurons with such selectivity actually support face-detection behavior. Here, we devised a natu...

Liquid chromatography (LC)-triple quadrupole mass spectrometers operating in a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode are increasingly used for quantitative analysis of low-abundance analytes in highly complex biochemical matrixes. After development and selection of optimum MRM transitions, sensitivity and data quality limitations are largely related to mass spectral peak interferences from sa...

A highly SERS active substrate of AgNPs on the Al/ZnO has been developed. It can be used for selective detection crystal violet in actual water samples.

Although recent advances in regional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) enable them to outperform conventional techniques on standard object detection and classification tasks, their response time is still slow for real-time performance. To address this issue, we propose a method for region proposal as an alternative to selective search, which is used in current state-of-the art object detect...

a sensitive and selective procedure was developed for the spectrophotometric determination of silver by its catalytic effect on the oxidation of gallocyanine by peroxydisulphate in acidic media at 540 nm. silver can be determined in the range of 0.001-0.500 µg/ml with a limit of detection of 0.0005 µg/ml, by a fixed-time method of 4.0 min from initiation of the reaction, the relative standard d...

Development of a sensitive and selective detection system for pathogenic viral agents is essential for medical healthcare from diagnostics to therapeutics. However, conventional detection systems are time consuming, resource-intensive and tedious to perform. Hence, the demand for sensitive and selective detection system for virus are highly increasing. To attain this aim, different aspects and ...

a highly selective electrode for bromide ion based on aza pyrilium derivative as an excellentionophore is described.the sensor exhibits a good linear response with a slope of ( 60±1 ) mv per decadeover the concentration range of ( 1×10-3 – 9×10-6 m ) , and a detection limit of ( 3×10-6 m ) of bromideions .the electrode response is independent of ph in the range of(4.0 –9.5).selectivity coeffici...

Narrowly tuned, selective noise masking of chromatic detection has been taken as evidence for the existence of a large number of color mechanisms (i.e., higher order color mechanisms). Here we replicate earlier observations of selective masking of tests in the (L,M) plane of cone space when the noise is placed near the corners of the detection contour. We used unipolar Gaussian blob tests with ...
