The three-dimensional fluorescence of dissolved organic matter in the mesocosm with different nutrients enrichment experiments in Jiaozhou Bay was determined by using excitation-emission matrix spectrum. The result indicates that phytoplankton can produce protein-like and humic-like fluorescent matter. The protein-like fluorescence is composed of tyrosine-like fluorescence and tryptophan-like fluorescence. The main position of protein-like fluorescent peak is Ex(max)/Em(max) = 270 nm/290 - 310 nm. The fluorescent intensity of the peak located in Ex(max/ Em(max) = 270 - 290 nm/320 - 350 nm is less. The centers of humic-like peaks disperse at Ex(max)/Em(max) = 250 - 260 nm/380 - 480 nm (Peak A), Ex(max)/Em(max) = 310 - 320 nm/380 - 420 nm(Peak C) and Ex(max)/Em(max) = 330 - 350 nm/420 - 480 nm(Peak M) in which peak A is the main peak. The fluorescent intensity of tyrosine-like matter is stronger than the intensity of humic-like matter. When the amount of phytoplankton decreased, the fluorescent intensity of tyrosine-like matter has negative relativity with the chlorophyll-a concentration. Tyrosine-like matter and tryptophan-like matter have similar origin. Dinoflagellate can produce more protein-like fluorescent matter than diatom. The composition ratios of humic-like mixture are different in different environment. And it has a small A/C value in dinoflagellate environment compared to diatom environment.

This study investigates the geochemical characteristics of rare earth elements (REEs) in highland karstic bauxite deposits located in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Pedernales Province, Dominican Republic. These deposits, formed through intense weathering of volcanic material, represent a potentially valuable REE resource for the nation. Surface and subsurface soil samples were analyzed using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and a NixPro 2 color sensor validated with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).

The polyene antimycotic amphotericin B (AmB) and its liposomal formulation AmBisome belong to the treatment options of invasive aspergillosis caused by . Increasing resistance to AmB in clinical isolates of species is a growing concern, but mechanisms of AmB resistance remain unclear. In this study, we conducted a proteomic analysis of exposed to sublethal concentrations of AmB and AmBisome.

Background: Intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) uses a cancer-targeted fluorescent agent injected into patients to localize tumor nodules. Pafolacianine is a folate receptor (FR)-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe. Almost 10% of patients have false negative fluorescence findings intraoperatively.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe have employed a triazine-based conjugated polymer network (CPN) for the selective detection of hypochlorite in a semi-aqueous environment. CPNs have been widely employed in gas capture, separation, and adsorption, but the fluorescent properties of CPNs possessing extensive π-conjugated systems tend to be unexplored. Herein, we report the photophysical properties of the CPN and investigate its sensing capability towards hypochlorite.
