Hospitality Venues' Anti-tobacco Legislation Violation in 11 Different Cities in Türkiye.

In Türkiye, anti-tobacco legislation (Law No. 4207 on the Prevention and Control of Harms of Tobacco Products) aims to ensure a "tobacco-free" life for current and future generations. However, there are observations of violations in the hospitality sector.

In Flight Performance of the Far Ultraviolet Instrument (FUV) on ICON.

The NASA Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) was launched in October 2019 and has been observing the upper atmosphere and ionosphere to understand the sources of their strong variability, to understand the energy and momentum transfer, and to determine how the solar wind and magnetospheric effects modify the internally-driven atmosphere-space system. The Far Ultraviolet Instrument (FUV) supports these goals by observing the ultraviolet airglow in day and night, determining the atmospheric and ionospheric composition and density distribution. Based on the combination of ground calibration and flight data, this paper describes how major instrument parameters have been verified or refined since launch, how science data are collected, and how the instrument has performed over the first 3 years of the science mission.

First ICON-FUV Nighttime NmF2 and hmF2 Comparison to Ground and Space-Based Measurements.

The Far Ultra Violet (FUV) ultraviolet imager onboard the NASA-ICON mission is dedicated to the observation and study of the ionosphere dynamics at mid and low latitudes. We compare O density profiles provided by the ICON FUV instrument during nighttime with electron density profiles measured by the COSMIC-2 constellation (C2) and ground-based ionosondes. Co-located simultaneous observations are compared, covering the period from November 2019 to July 2020, which produces several thousands of coincidences.

Selective and Sensitive ZnO Quantum Dots Based Fluorescent Biosensor for Detection of Cysteine.

In the present article, a novel and effective ZnO quantum dots-based fluorescent probe has been developed for the detection of cysteine in different solutions. Firstly, melamine-based fluorescent pre-probe was successfully synthesized via condensation reaction and, then ZnO quantum dots (QDs) were homogenously dispersed into this solution. This fluorescent probe was used for the detection of cysteine in different solutions such as bovine serum albumin and tap water.

Poly(azomethine-urethane) and zeolite-based composite: Fluorescent biosensor for DNA detection.

In the present paper, a highly selective and sensitive fluorescent biosensor based on poly(azomethine-urethane) and zeolite for the determination of DNA molecules was developed. Zeolite was chosen to enhance with anionic or cationic functional groups in polymer matrix and interaction between polymer and DNA. Several parameters such as polymer concentration, pH and incubation time effect on the sensitivity of the fluorescent biosensor were optimized.
