Glucose and lactate enzyme electrodes have been fabricated through the deposition of an anionic self-assembled monolayer and subsequent redox polymer/enzyme electrostatic complexation on gold substrates. These surfaces were functionalized with a negative charge using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA), followed by alternating immersions in cationic redox polymer solutions and anionic glucose oxid...

As an important pipeline stage in the router of Network-on-Chips, switch allocation assigns output ports to input and allows flits transit through without conflicts. Previous work designed efficient strategies by maximizing matching efficiency time series. However, those works neglected interaction between different stages. In this article, we propose concept Utility-of-Allocation (UoA) indicat...

Background: Acute nasal fracture is a common referral to ENT outpatient clinic. During the Covid-19 pandemic, NHS services were increasingly stretched and placed patients staff at risk of Coronavirus. Virtual clinic appointments provided an effective method for reducing improving efficiency services. We sought implement telephone triage system assessment fractures. Method A pathway was implemen...

A simple and one-pot method for the synthesis of water-soluble, red-emitting, highly fluorescent gold nanoparticles has been reported using 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA) as the protecting group. We found that the fluorescent gold nanoparticles could selectively detect copper ions in aqueous solution, with a limit of detection of about 87 nM.

We report a one-pot, two-step strategy to synthesize fluorescent gold nanodots (AuNDs) co-modified with 1-(10-mercaptodecyl)-5-methylpyrimidine-2,4-dione (TSH) and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) through a ligand exchange reaction and demonstrate their capability of selective sulfide sensing in aqueous media on the basis of fluorescence recovery.

This paper describes a method to direct the formation of microstructures of poly(isobenzofuran) (PIBF) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on chemically patterned, reactive, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared on gold substrates. We examined the growth dependence of PIBF by deposition onto several different SAMs each presenting different surface functional groups, including a carboxylic ac...

We report a study of acid-terminated self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiols of different length, 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA) and 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (16-MHDA), on Au(111). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and contact angle techniques were used for characterizati...
