Synergistic role of Cl and Br ions in growth control and mechanistic insights of high aspect ratio silver nanowires for flexible transparent conductive films.

Silver nanowires (AgNWs) with high aspect ratios are pivotal for the production of flexible transparent conductive films (TCFs). The growth of AgNWs is significantly influenced by the strong affinity of halogen ions for silver ions. This affinity plays a crucial role in the controlled deposition of silver along the nanowire axis.

Distribution of Microbiota in Fine Particulate Matter Particles in Guangzhou, China.

Objective: High PM concentration is the main feature of increasing haze in developing states, but information on its microbial composition remains very limited. This study aimed to determine the composition of microbiota in PM in Guangzhou, a city located in the tropics in China.

Methods: In Guangzhou, from March 5 to 10 , 2016, PM was collected in middle volume air samplers for 23 h daily.

Association Between SLC30A8 rs13266634 Polymorphism and Risk of T2DM and IGR in Chinese Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Published data regarding the association between solute carrier family 30, member 8 () rs13266634 polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and impaired glucose regulation (IGR) risks in Chinese population are in-consistent. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between rs13266634 and T2DM/IGR in a Chinese population. Three English (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) and three Chinese databases (Wanfang, CNKI, and CBMD database) were used for searching articles from January 2005 to January 2018.

Putative model based on iTRAQ proteomics for Spirulina morphogenesis mechanisms.

The morphology of Spirulina during cultivation is susceptible to external interferences, but the morphogenesis mechanism is still unclear. Here the proteomic changes of linear Spirulina and spiral Spirulina were comparatively investigated via isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ). Totally 165 and 167 differences in proteins expression were screened out from the TJSD2/TJSD3 and TJBC4-1/TJBC4-2 groups, respectively.

[Investigation on the fabrication and spectrum properties of Yb3+ -doped silicate laser glasses].

Two kinds of Yb3+ doped silicate laser glass with little difference were produced by high temperature of melting process. The absorption and emission spectra of the two glass samples were tested by the correlative spectrographs; the integral absorption cross section, stimulated emission cross section, fluorescence line-width, fluorescence lifetime, least particle count, saturation pump intensity and least pump intensity of the Yb3+ -doped laser glasses were calculated respectively, and by comparison it was found that the chart of the absorption cross section is similar to the stimulated emission cross section calculated by the reciprocity method, and is very different from the stimulated emission cross section calculated by the Fuchbauer-Ladenburger method. This result is precisely in line with the theoretical analysis.
