The speciation of Cu and Fe in wine was assessed by a number of methodologies and those with superior performance were utilised on 49 wines and compared to compositional data. The adopted analytical strategies were stripping potentiometry, HPLC and an extraction (solid-phase or liquid-liquid) followed by atomic absorption or optical emission spectroscopic measurement. Stripping potentiometry was specific for sulfide-bound Cu in wines, and showed that this was the predominant form of Cu. A solid phase extraction technique provided a hydrophobic fraction of Cu that was specific for sulfide-bound Cu in white wine but red wine matrix effects hindered isolation of sulfide-bound Cu. The other methods assessed either perturbed the sulfide-bound Cu or were not sufficiently sensitive. The solid phase extraction method enabled routine fractionation of Fe in red and white wines whilst the additional techniques surveyed either measured total Fe or suffered from background contamination.

Global climate change has become one of the most large-scale, widespread, and far-reaching challenges facing mankind. Against this background, China has proposed a "dual-carbon" target in 2020, which greatly demonstrates China's determination and commitment to carbon emission reduction, and the burden of realizing the "dual-carbon" target is mainly borne by heavy polluters. The burden of achieving the "dual-carbon" goal is mainly borne by the heavily polluting firms.

Self-reports are used ubiquitously to probe people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and inform medical decisions, enterprise operations, and government policy and legislation. Despite their pervasive use, self-report measures such as Likert scales have a profound problem: Standard analytic approaches do not control for the confounding effects of idiosyncratic response biases. Here, we present a model-based solution to this problem.

Breath analysis is increasingly recognized as a powerful noninvasive diagnostic technique, and a plethora of exhaled volatile biomarkers have been associated with various diseases. However, traditional analytical methodologies are not amenable to high-throughput diagnostic applications at the point of need. An optical spectroscopic technique, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), mostly used in the research setting for liquid sample analysis, has recently been applied to breath-based diagnostics.

In recent years, despite significant advances in preconcentration and preparation techniques that have led to efficient recovery and accurate measurement of target compounds. There is still a need to develop adsorbents with unique and efficient features such as high pore volume and surface area, reactivity, easy synthesis, low toxicity, and compatibility with the environment, which increase the adsorption capacity and increase extraction efficiency. Semiconductor nanocrystals called quantum dots (QDs) with a size of less than 10 nm are three-dimensional nanoparticles with a spherical, rod, or disc structure that have significant potential in extraction as adsorbents due to their excellent properties such as low toxicity, reactivity, environmental friendliness, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions.
