A silver-selective optode membrane incorporating hexathia-18-crown-6 for cation recognition and a lipophilic chromoionophore 1,2-benzo-3-octadecanoylimino-7-diethylaminophenoxazine for transduction has been prepared. The PVC membrane composition was optimized to result in the largest working concentration range. The response range of the proposed optode is 5.0 x 10(-9)-5.0 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) Ag(+) with a limit of detection of 1.0 x 10(-9) mol L(-1). The probe works well at pH 5.0 and revealed small ion interference and good selectivity, reproducibility and stability.

Widespread geogenic uranium (U) contamination of Indian groundwaters is of serious concern; yet little is known of the dominant forms and release mechanisms of U in these aquifers. Interestingly, manganese (Mn)-rich aquifers, highly buffered by dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and saturated with rhodochrosite [MnCO], have shown low U (

Background/objectives: Antipsychotic medicines are used to treat several psychological disorders and some symptoms caused by dementia and schizophrenia. Haloperidol (Hal) is a typical antipsychotic usually used to treat psychosis; however, its use causes motor or extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) such as catalepsy. Hal blocks the function of presynaptic D2 receptors on cholinergic interneurons, leading to the release of acetylcholine (ACh), which is hydrolyzed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

Background: Increased icariin content during the harvesting period is one of the factors limiting the quality improvement of Epimedium sagittatum, and there is currently a lack of scientific and effective biotechnological measures.
Results: In this study, we carried out experiments involving spraying different concentrations (0 µmol·L as control group, 500 µmol·L, 1000 µmol·L and 1500 µmol·L) of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) solution on E. sagittatum leaves.
