Needle-based sampling coupled with colorimetric reaction catalyzed by layered double hydroxide peroxidase mimic for rapid detection of the change of d-glucose levels with time in bananas.

Analytica chimica acta
For analyte detection in raw fruits, the conventional sample pretreatment method usually involves mashing (blending or homogenization), extraction, and dilution. This process is time-consuming, solvent-intensive and laborious. Usually, there is also ...

Prediction of thermal conductivity of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) electrospun nanocomposite fibers using artificial neural network and prey-predator algorithm.

PloS one
In this study, multilayer perception neural network (MLPNN) was employed to predict thermal conductivity of PVP electrospun nanocomposite fibers with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Nickel Zinc ferrites [(Ni0.6Zn0.4) Fe2O4]. This is the sec...

Analysis of the Importance of Oxides and Clays in Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn Adsorption and Retention with Regression Trees.

PloS one
This study determines the influence of the different soil components and of the cation-exchange capacity on the adsorption and retention of different heavy metals: cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc. In order to do so, regression models...

Simultaneous Enrichment and On-line Detection of Low-Concentration Copper, Cobalt, and Nickel Ions in Water by Near-Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy Combined with Chemometrics.

Journal of AOAC International
Sensitive detection of heavy metal ions in water is of great importance considering the effects that heavy metals have on public health. A developed fluidized bed enrichment technique was used to concentrate and detect low concentrations of Cu2+, Co2...

Modified Activated Carbon Prepared from Acorn Shells as a New Solid-Phase Extraction Sorbent for the Preconcentration and Determination of Trace Amounts of Nickel in Food Samples Prior to Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry.

Journal of AOAC International
A new solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent was introduced based on acidic-modified (AM) activated carbon (AC) prepared from acorn shells of native oak trees in Kurdistan. Hydrochloric acid (15%, w/w) and nitric acid (32.5%, w/w) were used to conditio...

Protective coatings for intraocular wirelessly controlled microrobots for implantation: Corrosion, cell culture, and in vivo animal tests.

Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Applied biomaterials
Diseases in the ocular posterior segment are a leading cause of blindness. The surgical skills required to treat them are at the limits of human manipulation ability, and involve the risk of permanent retinal damage. Instrument tethering and design l...

Using support vector machines to improve elemental ion identification in macromolecular crystal structures.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography
In the process of macromolecular model building, crystallographers must examine electron density for isolated atoms and differentiate sites containing structured solvent molecules from those containing elemental ions. This task requires specific know...

Electroforming of implantable tubular magnetic microrobots for wireless ophthalmologic applications.

Advanced healthcare materials
Magnetic tubular implantable micro-robots are batch fabricated by electroforming. These microdevices can be used in targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery for ophthalmologic applications. These tubular shapes are fitted into a 23-gauge...

Soil type and content of macro-elements determine hotspots of Cu and Ni accumulation in soils of subarctic industrial barren: inference from a cascade machine learning.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Aerial technogenic pollution from the activity of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy resulting in degradation of vulnerable natural ecosystems is a principal environmental problem in Russian Arctic. The industrial barren in the vicinity of Monchegors...

Neuromorphic learning with Mott insulator NiO.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Habituation and sensitization (nonassociative learning) are among the most fundamental forms of learning and memory behavior present in organisms that enable adaptation and learning in dynamic environments. Emulating such features of intelligence fou...
