Investigation and analysis of the current situation of programming education in primary and secondary schools.

With the rapid development of the era of artificial intelligence, the application ability of programming is also highlighted. As one of the necessary abilities of social talents in the future, primary and secondary schools pay more and more attention to this, and programming education is also in full swing. Therefore, based on previous studies, this paper further clarifies the current situation when the current situation of programming education in primary and secondary schools is ambiguous.

Fabrication of bifunctional G-quadruplex-hemin DNAzymes for colorimetric detection of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 and microRNA-21.

G-quadruplex-based complexes have been widely used in various analytical methods due to their outstanding capabilities of generating colorimetric, fluorescent or electrochemical signals. However, since loop sequences in traditional G-quadruplex structures are quite short, it is difficult to establish biosensors solely using G-quadruplex-based complexes. Herein, we attempted to lengthen the loop sequences of G-quadruplex structures and found that G-quadruplex-hemin DNAzymes (G-DNAzymes) with long loops (even 30 nucleotides) maintain high peroxidase activity.

Fast Identification of Soybean Seed Varieties Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Combined With Convolutional Neural Network.

Soybean seed purity is a critical factor in agricultural products, standardization of seed quality, and food processing. In this study, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as an effective technology was successfully used to identify ten varieties of soybean seeds. We improved the traditional sample preparation scheme for LIBS.

Detection of chlorpyrifos and carbendazim residues in the cabbage using visible/near-infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics.

Contamination of agricultural plants and food in the environment caused by pesticide residues has gained great attention of the world. Pesticide residues on vegetables constitute a potential risk to human health. A visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods was employed to quantitatively determine chlorpyrifos and carbendazim residues in the cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.

Efficient construction of diverse 3-cyanoindoles under novel tandem catalysis.

A novel and rapid construction of 3-cyanoindoles by palladium-catalyzed tandem reactions has been developed. "N-H" free unprotected, N-alkyl and N-aryl 3-cyanoindoles are obtained with good to excellent yields. The usefulness of this synthetic approach is further demonstrated by the successful synthesis of practical compounds such as the therapeutic estrogen receptor ligand A precursor.

Enhancing Butanol Production under the Stress Environments of Co-Culturing Clostridium acetobutylicum/Saccharomyces cerevisiae Integrated with Exogenous Butyrate Addition.

In this study, an efficient acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation strategy integrating Clostridium acetobutylicum/Saccharomyces cerevisiae co-culturing system with exogenous butyrate addition, was proposed and experimentally conducted. In solventogenic phase, by adding 0.2 g-DCW/L-broth viable S.

Efficient and cost-reduced glucoamylase fed-batch production with alternative carbon sources.

Glucoamylase is an important industrial enzyme. Glucoamylase production by industrial Aspergillus niger strain featured with two major problems: (i) empirical substrate feeding methods deteriorating the fermentation performance; and (ii) the high raw materials cost limiting the economics of the glucoamylase product with delegated specification. In this study, we first proposed a novel three-stage varied-rate substrate feeding strategy for efficient glucoamylase production in a 5 L bioreactor using the standard feeding medium, by comparing the changing patterns of the important physiological parameters such as DO, OUR, RQ, etc.

Quantitative calculation of human melatonin suppression induced by inappropriate light at night.

Melatonin (C₁₃H₁₆N₂O₂) has a wide range of functions in the body. When is inappropriately exposed to light at night, human circadian rhythm will be interfered and then melatonin secretion will become abnormal. For nearly three decades great progresses have been achieved in analytic action spectra and melatonin suppression by various light conditions.
