Classification techniques of ion selective electrode arrays in agriculture: a review.

Agriculture has a substantial demand for classification, and each agricultural product exhibits a unique ion signal. This paper summarizes the classification techniques of ion-selective electrode arrays in agriculture. Initially, data sample collection methods based on ion-selective electrode arrays are summarized.

Is food produced by farmers healthier, more natural, and gaining more popularity? Research on the influencing mechanism of food producer labels on consumers' food choices.

Introduction: Extant studies have demonstrated the relationship between naturalness and healthiness, and the effectiveness of various food labels in influencing consumers' perception of food and subsequent food choices. However, little attention has been given to food producer labels.

Methods: Drawing on Stimulation-Organism-Response theory, the current study explored the causal relationship between food producer labels and consumers' food choices.

Escape from self: Stress increase consumers' preference for experiences over material possessions.

Introduction: Considering the theory of self-escape, this research systematically investigates the effect of stress on consumers' preference for experiences vs. material possessions.

Methods: We conducted one survey and two experiments to demonstrate the effect of stress on individuals' relative preference for experiential vs.

Investigation of Spatial Coupling Coordination Development: Identifying Land System States from the Adaptation-Conflict Perspective.

With the advancement of global urbanization, ecosystem conservation and sustainable land development have become major issues. In this context, the uncoordinated and imbalanced development of the land-centered human-environment system requires urgent attention, especially in rust belt cities that pose critical challenges to regional land system sustainability. Therefore, taking Changchun City from 1990 to 2020 as an example, we identified and evaluated the ecosystem service (ES) balance and land use conflict from the perspectives of internal support and external development pressure.

Effect of Proton Transfer on Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation by Manganese Phosphates.

The effect of proton transfer on water oxidation has hardly been measurably established in heterogeneous electrocatalysts. Herein, two isomorphous manganese phosphates (NH MnPO  ⋅ H O and KMnPO  ⋅ H O) were designed to form an ideal platform to study the effect of proton transfer on water oxidation. The hydrogen-bonding network in NH MnPO  ⋅ H O has been proven to be solely responsible for its better activity.

Extensive Carbon Contribution of Inundated Terrestrial Plants to Zooplankton Biomass in a Eutrophic Lake.

Organic carbon derived from terrestrial plants contributes to aquatic consumers, e.g., zooplankton in lakes.

Unlocking All-Solid Ion Selective Electrodes: Prospects in Crop Detection.

This paper reviews the development of all-solid-state ion-selective electrodes (ASSISEs) for agricultural crop detection. Both nutrient ions and heavy metal ions inside and outside the plant have a significant influence on crop growth. This review begins with the detection principle of ASSISEs.

Role-Specialized Division of Labor in CO Reduction with Doubly-Functionalized Iron Porphyrin Atropisomers.

In enzymes, the active site residues function differently to promote chemical reactions. Such a role-specialized division of labor has been rarely realized by synthetic catalysts. We report herein on catalytic CO reduction with Fe porphyrins decorated with two cationic N,N,N-trimethylbenzylamine groups in cis- or trans-arrangement.

Introducing Water-Network-Assisted Proton Transfer for Boosted Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution with Cobalt Corrole.

Proton transfer is vital for many biological and chemical reactions. Hydrogen-bonded water-containing networks are often found in enzymes to assist proton transfer, but similar strategy has been rarely presented by synthetic catalysts. We herein report the Co corrole 1 with an appended crown ether unit and its boosted activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Shape-Trait Consistency: The Matching Effect of Consumer Power State and Shape Preference.

Angular and rounded shapes are two important visual elements widely used in the design of product shapes and brand logos. By introducing the power state, a psychological variable that is inherently relevant to consumers' product choices, brand preferences, and decision-making, we propose that consumers' power state influences their shape preference. Specifically, compared to low-power consumers, high-power consumers respond more positively to angular as opposed to rounded shapes, because the angular shape facilitates the expression of competence (as opposed to warmth).

Identifying Intermediates in Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation with a Manganese Corrole Complex.

Water nucleophilic attack (WNA) on high-valent terminal Mn-oxo species is proposed for O-O bond formation in natural and artificial water oxidation. Herein, we report an electrocatalytic water oxidation reaction with Mn tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole () in propylene carbonate (PC). O was generated at the Mn potential with hydroxide, but a more anodic potential was required to evolve O with only water.

Feeling Deficient but Reluctant to Improve: How Perceived Control Affects Consumers' Willingness to Purchase Self-Improvement Products Under Self-Deficit Situations.

This study explored how perceived control affects consumers' willingness to purchase self-improvement products (WSP) under self-deficit situations. For this purpose, three experiments were conducted to examine the following sources of control: the controllability of self-deficits (Experiment 1); the locus of control (Experiment 2); and situational perceived control (Experiment 3). According to the results, higher perceived control can reduce consumers' defensive reaction tendencies, thus increasing their willingness to purchase products that claim to improve their current deficits.

Save for Safe: Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consumers' Saving and Spending Behavior in China.

In public health emergencies, people are more willing to save money rather than spending it, which is not conductive to economic development and recovery. Due to the absence of relevant research, the internal logic of this phenomenon is not clear. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study systematically explored whether and why public health emergencies stimulate consumers' preference for saving (vs.

Controlling Oxygen Reduction Selectivity through Steric Effects: Electrocatalytic Two-Electron and Four-Electron Oxygen Reduction with Cobalt Porphyrin Atropisomers.

Achieving a selective 2 e or 4 e oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical but challenging. Herein, we report controlling ORR selectivity of Co porphyrins by tuning only steric effects. We designed Co porphyrin 1 with meso-phenyls each bearing a bulky ortho-amido group.

The Impact of COVID-19 and Public Health Emergencies on Consumer Purchase of Scarce Products in China.

During public health emergencies, people often scramble to buy scarce goods, which may lead to panic behavior and cause serious negative impacts on public health management. Due to the absence of relevant research, the internal logic of this phenomenon is not clear. This study explored whether and why public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic stimulate consumers' preference for scarce products.

A graphene oxide-molybdenum disulfide composite used as stationary phase for determination of sulfonamides in open-tubular capillary electrochromatography.

A graphene oxide-molybdenum disulfide (GO-MoS) composite was synthesized and utilized as the highly efficient stationary phase of open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC). The characterization results indicated that GO-MoS composite was successfully synthesized. The GO-MoS-coated capillary column was prepared by covalent immobilization method for the determination of seven sulfonamides.

Mating Goals Moderate Power's Effect on Conspicuous Consumption Among Women.

This study aimed to use evolutionary psychology to explain conspicuous consumption's relationship with mating goals among women. We used experiments to show that power moderates conspicuous consumption's relationship with mating goals among women through an underlying relationship with women's social comparison tendencies. In Study 1, the participants read a passage describing a young woman wearing a coat made by a conspicuous brand (vs.
