Development of a reusable polymeric fluorescence sensor based on acryloyl β-cyclodextrin for the determination of aflatoxin B in grain products.

AFB1 is a harmful substance that can be found in agricultural products and can seriously affect human health, even in trace amounts. Therefore, monitoring AFB1 levels to ensure food safety and protect public health is crucial. New, highly reliable, selective, and rapid detection methods are needed to achieve this goal.

Turkish validity and reliability of parenting stress scale for clinical nurses.

The aim of this study is to conduct the validity and reliability study of Parenting Stress Scale for Clinical Nurses. Sample of the study consisted of 202 nurses who were working as clinical nurse in the hospital, who had children between the ages of 3 and 6 and who volunteered to participate in the study. The scale consists of 17 items and 4 factors as "psychological burden", "physical and mental fatigue", "shift", and "work environment".

A novel polymeric fluorescence sensor based on acrylated citric acid for detection of melamine adulteration: Application in milk powder.

Melamine selective acrylate citric acid (ACA) based polymeric membrane sensor was prepared by radical polymerization method and the sensor was characterized. The sensor showed a selective fluorescent response to melamine (λ/λ = 388/425 nm). The sensor response is linear in the concentration range of 3.

Pyrene Substituted Phthalonitrile Derivative As a Fluorescent Sensor For Detection of Fe Ions in Solutions.

In this current study, the novel bis[4,5-(pyrene-2-yl)-3,6-(hexyloxy)] phthalonitrile (SPN) fluorophore has been successfully synthesized. Structural characterization of this novel compound was performed by different spectroscopic methods such as FT-IR, MALDI-TOF, H-NMR, C-NMR and elemental analyses as well. In addition, the photophysical properties were determined using UV-vis absorption, steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic methods and quantum chemical calculations.

Reusable fluorescent photocrosslinked polymeric sensor for determining lead ions in aqueous media.

In this study, 1-vinylimidazole units bearing photocured films were prepared as fluorescent sensors towards Pb(2+) in aqueous solutions. The influence of experimental parameters such as pH, time and foreign ion concentrations were investigated. Sensor response was linear over a concentration range of 4.
