The affinity capillary electrophoresis method was used in the study of interactions between heavy metals (Pb, Mn, La, Cd, and Ni) and the sulfonylurea herbicides (thifensulfuron, nicosulfuron and sulfometuron). A buffer of 50 mM acetate (pH 5.85) was employed in the study. The results proved that there are two binding sites in the herbicides when chelating with the heavy metals. Binding constants of the high chelating ability sites between them were in the range of 10(3) to 10(5), and the other were in the range of 10 to 10(3). Thifensulfuron is the most powerful chelator among the three herbicides. Ni is of the weaker chelators, within the herbicides than Pb, Mn, La, and Cd. The binding abilities were proven to be increased with the pH value among the investigated range.

A fluorescence "turn-off-on" nanoprobe is designed by using europium-doped strontium molybdate perovskite quantum dots (Eu:SMO PQDs) for the sequential detection of hypoxanthine (Hx) and Fe. The Eu:SMO PQDs were prepared by the sol-gel method using Sr(NO), (NH)MoO.4HO, and Eu(OCOCH) as precursors.

Currently, the development of red Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials attracts a lot of attention in optical thermometry sensors, solid lighting, display, and plant growth areas. Nevertheless, the thermal stability of Mn-activated fluoride luminescent materials is still a crucial issue. Herein, a new red RbNaVF:Mn luminescent material with outstanding thermal stability was successfully synthesized through the facial coprecipitation method.

Background: A decline in skeletal muscle mass and function known as skeletal muscle sarcopenia is an inevitable consequence of aging. Sarcopenia is a major cause of decreased muscle strength, physical frailty and increased muscle fatigability, contributing significantly to an increased risk of physical disability and functional dependence among the elderly. There remains a significant need for a novel therapy that can improve sarcopenia and related problems in aging.

In order to solve the problems of high planting density, similar color, and serious occlusion between spikes in sorghum fields, such as difficult identification and detection of sorghum spikes, low accuracy and high false detection, and missed detection rates, this study proposes an improved sorghum spike detection method based on YOLOv8s. The method involves augmenting the information fusion capability of the YOLOv8 model's neck module by integrating the Gold feature pyramid module. Additionally, the SPPF module is refined with the LSKA attention mechanism to heighten focus on critical features.
