A fluorescent aptasensor for enzyme-free and sensitive detection of kanamycin based on entropy-driven strand displacement reaction.

Background: Kanamycin is an antibiotic that can easily cause adverse side effects if used improperly. Due to the extremely low concentrations of kanamycin in food, quantitative detection of kanamycin becomes a challenge. As one of the DNA self-assembly strategies, entropy-driven strand displacement reaction (EDSDR) does not require enzymes or hairpins to participate in the reaction, which greatly reduces the instability of detection results.

A Multi-Level Operation Method for Improving the Resilience of Power Systems under Extreme Weather through Preventive Control and a Virtual Oscillator.

This paper proposes a multi-level operation method designed to enhance the resilience of power systems under extreme weather conditions by utilizing preventive control and virtual oscillator (VO) technology. Firstly, a novel model for predicting time intervals between successive failures of the power system during extreme weather is introduced. Based on this, this paper proposes a preventive control method considering the system ramping and transmission constraints prior to failures so as to ensure the normal electricity demand within the system.

Novel fluorescence nano-orbital biosensor for highly sensitive microRNA detection.

Background: MicroRNAs play an important role in regulating cell function and gene expression. Early prevention and clinical diagnosis of diseases have high requirements for high-sensitivity detection of microRNAs. Due to the limitations of tedious operation and large sample size, miRNA with small molecular weight and low expression abundance cannot be accurately detected in traditional miRNA detection.
