Quadratic rotation-orthogonal composite experimental design was applied in this experiment to obtain the ultraweak luminescence property of mint affected by multilateral growth environmental factors including illumination, temperature, humidity, and moisture. The influence models of four factors on luminescence were established. Analysis showed that different factors and their interactions had ...

In article 1600197, Xueyuan Chen and co-workers report a novel luminescent bioassay technique, namely, dissolution-enhanced luminescence bioassay based on inorganic lanthanide nanoprobes, for ultrasensitive in-vitro detection of tumor markers in human sera or saliva, such as carcinoembryonic antigen, prostate specific antigen and alpha-fetoprotein, with detection sensitivities several orders of...

Fucus zygotes can be polarized by many environmental vectors. These include those created by pieces of all the intertidal marine plants tested. At distances of up to 5-10 mm away from such pieces, Fucus zygotes form their intitial outgrowths or germinate towards them. Earlier papers had inferred that this so-called 'thallus effect' is mediated by diffusing molecules. The present reinvestigation...

The first luminescent cyclometallated platinum(II) complex bearing phosphinine co-ligands is reported. The long-lived luminescence, which it displays at 77 K, is assigned to a phosphinine-localised triplet excited state on the basis of electrochemical data and TD-DFT calculations.

The effect of carbon doping on the enhancement of visible luminescence from silicon-rich silicon oxide ~SRSO!, which consists of Si nanoclusters embedded inside a SiO2 matrix, is investigated. C-doped SRSO films were fabricated by electron cyclotron resonance-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method using SiH4 , O2 , and CH4 source gases followed by a high-temperature anneal. Intense bl...

Background: CdWO4 is a scintillator with some unique properties. For example, high density, thermal and chemical stability and so on. Different applications of this scintillator such as X-ray scintillator has been investigated thoroughly so far. However, there is limited number of studies reporting the characteristics of CdWO4 as an alpha counter. Materials and Methods: The CdWO4 powder was syn...

The effect of an external magnetic field on the intensity of electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ecl) was determined for nine systems involving anthracene, 9,lO-diphenylanthracene (DPA), rubrene, 1,3,6,%tetraphenylpyrene (TPP), and fluoranthene as emitting species in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions. Enhancements in emission intensity up to 27% with increasing field strength were noted for...
