Selective adsorption of zearalenone by a novel magnetic molecularly imprinted carbon nanomaterial.

In this paper, the objective is to immobilize molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) onto the surface of magnetic carbon nanoparticles (FeO@SiO@C) to develop an effective method for the adsorption of zearalenone (ZEN). The prepared products were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TEM, XRD, VSM, TGA, and BET. The content of zearalenone in corn samples was monitored by HPLC.

A novel bidirectional LSTM deep learning approach for COVID-19 forecasting.

COVID-19 has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality globally. We develop a model that uses data from thirty days before a fixed time point to forecast the daily number of new COVID-19 cases fourteen days later in the early stages of the pandemic. Various time-dependent factors including the number of daily confirmed cases, reproduction number, policy measures, mobility and flight numbers were collected.

Preparation of a hydrophilic nanofiber membrane by electrospinning for application in the detection of NO by chemiluminescence.

The strong hydrophobicity of the PVDF membrane is prone to contamination that is hard to clean for long-term usage. In this study, hydrophilic and antifouling nanofiber membranes (NMs) were prepared with the hydrophilic polymer PVP and inorganic nanoparticles TiONP. This NM was found to have excellent cleanability and good recyclability.

Rapid and sensitive online determination of ozone gas-liquid chemiluminescence synergistically enhanced by graphene quantum dots and Triton X-100.

The determination of the ozone concentration in the atmosphere is an urgent need but most current methods are limited by large-scale equipment or complex procedures. Herein, a gas-liquid chemiluminescence (GL-CL) assay based on a portable GL-CL detector platform was reported for the fast and sensitive online determination of ozone. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and Triton X-100 were employed to synergistically enhance the CL intensity of chromotropic acid (CA)-ozone.
