We report a novel, non-hydrolytic route to ZnO nanocrystals by means of thermal decomposition zinc acetate (ZnAc2) in alkylamines, the presence tert-butylphosphonic acid (TBPA). The slow heating an alkylamine/TBPA/ZnAc2 mixture is simple, safe, and scalable approach synthesize from handy chemicals. obtained were characterized UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL) infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction (XRD) transmission electron microscopy (TEM). growth particles nanoscopic...
We have recently reported that in bone the cannabinoid CB1 receptor is present sympathetic terminals. Here we show traumatic brain injury (TBI), which humans enhances peripheral osteogenesis and fracture healing, acutely stimulates formation a distant skeletal site. At this site demonstrate i) high level of main endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), expression diacylglycerol lipases, enzymes essential for 2-AG synthesis; ii) TBI-induced increase preceded by elevation decrease...
Proteomic strategies are herein proved to be a complementary approach the well established amino acid composition analysis for characterization of aging and deterioration phenomena occurring proteinaceous materials in works-of-art. Amino analyses on several samples demonstrated that proteins frescoes from Camposanto Monumentale Pisa deteriorated as revealed by decrease Met, Lys, Tyr content presence all malonic result Ser, Phe, Cys oxidation. identified deamidation at Asn Gln further major...
The Multi-Attribute Method (MAM) Consortium was initially formed as a venue to harmonize best practices, share experiences, and generate innovative methodologies facilitate widespread integration of the MAM platform, which is an emerging ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry application. Successful implementation purity-indicating assay requires new peak detection (NPD) potential process- and/or product-related impurities. NPD interlaboratory study described herein...
Flexible screen-printing technology modified with nano/material coating boosted the manufacturing of highly sensitive electrochemical sensors for fast and easy-to-handle tests in different application fields.
Thin films of hafnium oxide have been prepared by using a dual ion beam sputtering system. A study their physical properties is reported. In particular, structural and compositional characterization was performed means x-ray diffraction photoelectron spectroscopy techniques, showing mixture amorphous polycrystalline structure substoichiometric composition. The atomic force microscopy results shown crater-like morphology probably due to the deposition process. addition gas sensing...
Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, in the visible spectral range, is used to study fast processes after photoexcitation quantum confined wurtzite CdSe core and $\mathrm{CdSe}∕\mathrm{CdS}∕\mathrm{ZnS}$ core/shell nanorods. Effective-mass theory applied assign energy levels linear absorption spectra. Sequential bleaching of excitonic states photoinduced are observed transmission difference A strong was found between samples. In fact, transient spectra, decay time higher faster than samples...
In this paper, we provide an in-depth electrochemical characterization of a label-free impedimetric immunosensor for rapid detection ochratoxin A. The sensor was based on carbodiimide-mediated amide coupling reaction to immobilize specific A antibody onto 4-mercaptobenzoic acid-modified commercial screen-printed gold electrode. Different variables affecting the performance developed were optimized. Cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy used analyse modifications interfacial...
RATIONALE The aim of this study was to demonstrate, and characterize by high‐resolution mass spectrometry that it is possible preferentially induce covalent cross‐links in peptides using high‐energy femtosecond ultraviolet (UV) laser pulses. cross‐link readily formed only when aromatic amino acids are present the peptide sequence. METHODS Three peptides, xenopsin, angiotensin I, interleukin, individually or combination, were exposed UV pulses, either alone presence spin trapping molecules,...
A chloride‐based inorganic sol–gel route was used for preparing pure and metal (osmium, nickel, palladium, platinum)‐doped SnO 2 sol. SnCl 4 first reacted with propanol, then the resulting compound hydrolyzed subsequently mixed solutions of dopants. The obtained sols were depositing thin films by spin coating or powders solvent evaporation at 110°C. FTIR spectroscopy thermal analysis revealed that chlorine still bound to tin stabilized sol against gelation hindering condensation reactions....
Abstract Climate change represents one of the current major challenges and improper use water resources is an impeding threat. Agricultural research can play a crucial role by developing innovative strategies techniques to reduce without affecting crop productivity quality, particularly in grapevine growing Mediterranean areas, as both wine quality are quintessential for economic ecologic sustainability this crop. The present study aimed define deficit irrigation strategy “Primitivo”...
GaAs (001), GaP and InP (001) surfaces were exposed to N2 N2–H2 plasmas in order investigate the substrate nitridation process. In situ real time ellipsometry was used assess self-limiting kinetics. Ex x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy atomic force microscopy fingerprint surface composition morphology, respectively. For GaAs, plasma forms a GaN layer whose thickness is limited by As segregation at GaAs/GaN interface. substrates, phosphorous nitride capping formed which inhibits further...
Colloidal ZnSe nanocrystals are coated with a ZnS shell and investigated by means of time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. These stable against photooxidation have quantum efficiencies around 15% even months after the synthesis. Recombination processes as function excitation intensity emission energy. Nonlinear such Auger recombination dominate in early times photogeneration electron-hole pairs. The lifetime single exciton states is shorter smaller dots than larger ones, accordance...
