Factors Affecting

The effects of several instrumental and experimental factors on phase-modulation fluorescence lifetime determinations of dimethyl POPOP, 9,10-diphenylanthracene, and benzo(a)pyrene were evaluated with the use of both a scattering solution and dimethylPOPOP as references for phase and modulation calibration. For the scattering solution reference, best results were obtained when the scatterer was measured within a few nanometers of the resonance peak corresponding to the excitation wavelength used for measuring the sample. Intensity matching of the reference (either scatterer or dimethylPOPOP) to the sample solution does not appear to be required as long as the sample solution exhibits lifetime homogeneity and the sample and reference are measured with the same voltage applied to the photomultiplier tube detector. Intensity matching to within 10–20% does appear to be indicated for samples with lifetime heterogeneity. When intensity matching is used, the intensities should be matched by adjustment of the reference solution concentration rather than by changing the wavelengths used to measure the reference.

Before And After

Aluminum-copper-silicon thin films have been considered as an interconnection metallurgy for integrated circuit applications. Various schemes have been proposed to incorporate small percent-ages of silicon into films that typically contain two to five percent copper. We undertook a study of the total effect of silicon on the aluminum copper film as revealed by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and ion microprobe techniques as a function of the various deposition methods.X-ray investigations noted a change in solid solution concentration as a function of Si content before and after heat-treatment. The amount of solid solution in the Al increased with heat-treatment for films with ≥2% silicon and decreased for films <2% silicon.

Precipitate Composition

Mn-Mo-O catalysts with a different Mo/Mn ratio have been prepared by precipitation. The precipitate composition as a function of solution concentration and pH was studied by X-ray, IR, thermal and chemical methods. Formation of manganese molybdates with MnMoO4.1.5H2O, Mn3Mo3O12.2.5H2O, and Mn3Mo4O15.4H2O composition has been supposed. It is concluded that pure MnMoO4 may be obtained in both acid and alkaline media, the pH values depending on the concentration of the initial solutions. The maximum Mo/Mn ratio in the precipitates is 1.33. The formation of pure Mn3Mo4O15.4H2O is possible in weakly acidic media. This process is favoured by increasing the concentration of initial solutions.

One Step

We report a one-step electrochemical deposition technique to prepare three-dimensional (3D) Ag hierarchical micro/nanostructured film consisting of well-crystallized Ag nanosheets grown on an indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive substrate. The Ag hierarchical micro/nanostructures were fabricated in the mixed solution of AgNO3 and sodium citrate in a constant current system at room temperature. Through reduction of Ag[Formula: see text] electrodeposited on the surface of ITO substrate, nanoparticles were grown to form nanosheets which further combined into 3D sphere-like microstructures. The 3D Ag micro/nanostructures have many sharp edges and nanoscale gaps which can give rise to good Raman-enhanced effect. Due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects, these special Ag micro/nanostructures exhibited good Raman-enhanced performance. Using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules as probe molecule, we studied the influence of excitation wavelength on Raman enhancement. The results showed that the 532[Formula: see text]nm excitation wavelength is the best to obtain the strongest Raman signal and to reduce the influence of other impurity peaks. Using the as-synthesized Ag hierarchical micro/nanostructures, we can detect the 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol/L R6G aqueous solution, exhibiting great Raman-enhanced effect.

Phosphate Leaching

A soil material high in crystalline Fe hydrous oxides and noncrystalline Al hydrous oxides collected from the Bw horizon of a Hemcross soil containing allophane from the state of Oregon was charged with phosphate-P at rates of 0, 2.2, and 6.5 mg·g−1, added to a soilless root medium at 5% and 10% by volume, and evaluated for its potential to supply phosphate at a low, stable concentration during 14 weeks of tomato (Solanum esculentumL.) seedling growth. Incorporation of the soil material improved pH stability, whether it was charged with phosphate or not. Bulk solution phosphate-P concentrations in the range of 0.13 to 0.34 mg·dm−3were associated with P deficiency. The only treatment that sustained an adequate bulk solution concentration of phosphate-P above 0.34 mg·dm−3for the 14 weeks of testing contained 10% soil material charged with 6.5 mg·g−1P, but initial dissolved P concentrations were too high (>5 mg·g−1phosphate-P) from the standpoint of phosphate leaching. The treatment amended with 10% soil material charged with 2.2 mg·g−1P maintained phosphate-P within an acceptable range of 0.4 to 2.3 mg·dm−3for 48 d in a medium receiving no postplant phosphate fertilization.

Novel Method

The standardization of the botanical origin of honey reflects the commercial value and quality of honey. Nowadays, most consumers are looking for a unifloral honey. The aim of the present study was to develop a novel method for honey classification using chemometric models based on phenolic compounds analyzed with right angle fluorescence spectroscopy, coupled with stepwise linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The deconstructed spectrum from three-dimensional-emission excitation matrix (3D-EEM) spectra provided a correct classification score of 94.9% calibration and cross-validation at an excitation wavelength (λex) of 330 nm. Subsequently, a score of 81.4% and 79.7%, respectively, at an excitation wavelength (λex) of 360 nm was achieved. Each chemometric model confirmed its power through the external validation with a score of 82.1% for both. Differentiation could be correlated with hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids, which absorb in this region of the spectrum. Fluorescence spectroscopy constitutes a rapid and sensitive technique, which, when combined with the stepwise algorithm and LDA method, can be used as a reliable and predictive authentication tool for honey. This study indicates that the developed methodology is a promising technique for determination of the botanical origin of common Greek honey varieties. Our long-term ambition is to support producers and suppliers to remain in a competitive national and international market.
