Highly hydrophobic TEMPO-functionalized conducting copolymers for solid-contact ion-selective electrodes.

Solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SCISEs) emerged as the best electrode embodiment for miniaturized, wearable and disposable sensors for ion/electrolyte measurements in body fluids. The commercialization of inexpensive single-use "calibration-free" electrodes requires large scale manufacturing of electrodes with reproducible calibration parameters, e.g.

TEMPO-Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes for Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Electrodes with Largely Improved Potential Reproducibility and Stability.

Solid-contact ion-selective electrodes (SCISEs) can overcome essential limitations of their counterparts based on liquid contacts. However, attaining a highly reproducible and predictable , especially between different fabrication batches, turned out to be difficult even with the most established solid-contact materials, i.e.

3D-printed manifold integrating solid contact ion-selective electrodes for multiplexed ion concentration measurements in urine.

Urinalysis is a simple and non-invasive approach for the diagnosis and monitoring of various health disorders. While urinalysis is predominantly confined to clinical laboratories the non-invasive sample collection makes it applicable in wide range of settings outside of central laboratory confinements. In this respect, 3D printed devices integrating sensors for measuring multiple parameters may be one of the most viable approaches to ensure cost-effectiveness for widespread use.

The influence of climate and habitat on stable isotope signatures and the isotopic niche of nestling White-headed Woodpeckers ().

The majority of landbird species feed their nestlings arthropods and variation in arthropod populations can impact reproductive outcomes in these species. Arthropod populations in turn are influenced by climate because temperature affects survival and reproduction, and larval development. Thus, climate factors have the potential to influence many bird species during their reproductive phases.

Application of a Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction sample preparation method with HPLC for soil fungal biomass determination in soils from a detrital manipulation study.

Ergosterol is a sterol found ubiquitously in cell membranes of filamentous fungi. Although concentrations in different fungal species span the range of 2.6 to 42μg/mL of dry mass, many studies have shown a strong correlation between soil ergosterol content and fungal biomass.
