A novel ratiometric Cu2+-selective probe was rationally constructed based on pyrene derivative. Compared to other tested metal ions, the presented selective recognition for Cu2+ which could be detected by a significant turn-on fluorescent response at 393 nm and 415 nm. Under optimized conditions, detection limit of 0.16 ?M in aqueous media found. Besides this, 1:1 metal–ligand complex confirmed...

This paper focuses on material-process interactions in particle bed binding. After a classification of binding techniques currently available for cement-based materials, the most important and their underlying physics are discussed detail selective cement activation (SCA) paste intrusion technique (SPI). Here, we consider sub-processes layer application, compaction, fluid penetration after prin...

Susceptibility of chemical sensors to false positive signals remains a common drawback due to insufficient sensor coating selectivity. By mimicking biology, we have demonstrated the use of sequence-specific biopolymers to generate highly selective receptors for trinitrotoluene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene. Using mutational analysis, we show that the identified binding peptides recognize the target su...

background dermatophytosis is a cutaneous fungal infection with a worldwide occurrence. in dermatophyte infections, the release of keratinocyte cytokines, in the presence of dermatophyte antigens, causes an acute phase response; subsequently, the acute-phase proteins are produced by hepatocytes. mannose–binding lectin (mbl), an acute-phase protein, also acts as a kind of pattern recognition rec...
