A novel, rapid, and simple capillary electrophoresis (CE) method has been developed for the determination of antimalarial artemisinin by on-line treatment with alkaline. By on-line reaction, artemisinin was automatically and reproducibly converted to the strongly UV-absorbing compound, Q292, by treating it with 0.20 mol/L NaOH solution for 3 min at 40 degrees C. Analysis was carried out in less than 12 min after conversion of artemisinin in a flow injection (FI) system that was coupled to CE equipment via a split-flow interface cell, and a sampling frequency of 8 h(-1) is achievable. The on-line conversion method has been applied to the determination of artemisinin in the traditional Chinese herbal drug Artemisia annua L., and the results are satisfactory.

The concept of sustainable production necessitates the utilization of waste and by-products as raw materials, the implementation of biotechnological processes, and the introduction of automated real-time monitoring for efficient use of resources. One example is the biocatalyzed conversion of the reusable by-product glycerin by acetic acid bacteria to dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is of great importance to the cosmetic industry. The application of compact spectrometers enables the rapid measurement of samples while simultaneously reducing the consumption of resources and energy.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how prematurity influences the methylation of the LINE-1 gene in neonates, with a focus on DNA samples taken at various days after birth.
- Researchers found that overall, premature infants had lower methylation levels at birth, but this difference reduced over time.
- Interestingly, extremely premature infants (born before 28 weeks) exhibited higher methylation levels, comparable to full-term babies, suggesting that prematurity significantly affects LINE-1 methylation patterns and highlighting the complexity of epigenetic effects.
Thermochemical production of ammonia a two-step metal nitride cycle - materials screening and the strontium-based system.

Ammonia synthesis the catalytic Haber-Bosch process is characterized by its high pressures and low single-pass conversions, as well as by the energy-intensive production of the precursors H and N and their concomitant greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatively, thermochemical cycles based on metal nitrides stand as a promising pathway to green ammonia production because they can be conducted at moderate pressures without added catalysts and be further driven by concentrated solar energy as the source of high-temperature process heat. The ideal two-step cycle consists of the nitridation of a metal to form a metal nitride, followed by the hydrogenation of the metal nitride to synthetize NH and reform the metal.

To clarify the key role of oxygen vacancy defects on enhancing the oxidative activity of the catalysts, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) derived MnO catalysts with different morphologies and oxygen vacancy defects were successfully prepared using a facile in-situ self-assembly strategy with different alkali moderators. The obtained morphologies included three-dimensional (3D) triangular cone stacked MnO hollow sphere (MnO-H) and 3D nanoparticle stacked MnO nanosphere (MnO-N). Compared to MnO-N, MnO-H exhibited higher activity for the oxidation of toluene (T = 226 °C).

Directly fixing dinitrogen into value-added organics is one of the core issues, and yet a long-standing challenge, in chemical synthesis. In earlier discrete studies, direct amination of benzene with N has been achieved non-thermal plasma-liquid reaction. Nonetheless, the reaction mechanism thereof remains elusive and the amination product was non-selective primarily including aniline and diphenylamine.
