The detection and quantification of Cs+ in aquatic media are an environmental safety public health matter, so far limited by the lack rapid, low cost, limit selective analytical tools. Herein we demonstrate efficient fabrication a novel electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistor sensor for seawater based on combination two ultra-thin layers namely poly(3-hexylthiophene) as semiconductor ...

This study explored the effects of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) immunity on expression of FSHR mRNA in pituitary and FSHR protein in uteri, and also confirmed its efficacy on uterine development. 42 prepuberty and non cyclic ewes were assigned to 6 experimental groups (EG) during anestrus season. Animals in EG-I, EG-II and EG-III were subcutaneously injected with 200, 300 and 400 μg alarelin antigens (...

Rechargeable zinc-ion batteries (RZIBs) are mostly powered by aqueous electrolytes. However, uncontrolled water interactions often confer a small voltage window and poor battery capacity retention. Here, we explore replacing with ethylene glycol as the primary solvent in zinc electrolyte formulations. The assembled reveal suppressed electrolyte-induced parasitic reactions, leading to (1) expand...

The novel 3D SnO cabbages self-assembled by nanosheets were successfully synthesized via template-free hydrothermal growth method under facile conditions. The XRD results manifest that the as-prepared SnO is tetragonal phase. The TEM and HRTEM results show that the cabbage nanosheets are polycrystalline structure consisted of considerable single-crystalline nanoparticles. Two typical Raman mode...

BACKGROUND Urolithiasis is a significant healthcare issue but the pathophysiology of stone disease remains poorly understood. Drosophila Malpighian tubules were known to share similar physiological function to human renal tubules. We have used Drosophila as a genetic model to study the transcriptional response to stone formation secondary to dietary manipulation. METHODS Wild-type male flies ...
