A simple, low cost, and green method was developed for the synthesis of water-soluble well-dispersed fluorescent carbon nanodots (CDs) via a one-step hydrothermal treatment potatoes. The as-prepared CDs exhibit strong blue fluorescence, with quantum yield up to 15%. We further explored use these as novel sensing probe label-free, sensitive selective detection Fe3+. This is based on fluorescence quenching due complex formed between limit 0.025 μmol L−1, different concentrations corresponded...

With the rapid development of new energy and upgrading electronic devices, structurally stable phase change materials (PCMs) have attracted widespread attentions from both academia industries. Traditional cross-linking, composites, or microencapsulation methods for preparation form PCMs usually sacrifice part enthalpy recyclability. Based on basic polymer viscoelasticity crystallization theories, here, a kind novel recyclable polymeric PCM is developed by simple solution mixing ultrahigh...

Abstract Highly blue fluorescence carbon dots were synthesized by one‐step hydrothermal treatment of potatoes. The as‐obtained C‐dots have been applied to bioimaging HeLa cells, which shows their excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. results reveal that are promising for real cell imaging applications. In addition, the can be utilized as a probe sensing phosphate. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND) represents a form of cognitive impairment related to surgery and anesthesia, which may manifest hours or even weeks after the surgical procedure, persist, potentially progress into Alzheimer's disease. The etiology PND is intricate, with central nervous inflammation playing crucial role. clinical manifestations are not distinctive, no obvious image alterations observable, diagnosis rate relatively low, thereby influencing prognosis augmenting...

The existence of fundus diseases not only endangers people's vision, but also brings serious economic burden to the society. Fundus images are an objective and standard basis for diagnosis diseases. With continuous advancement computer science, deep learning methods dominated by convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been widely used in image classification. However, current CNN-based classification research still has a lot room improvement: CNN cannot effectively avoid interference...

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) have traditionally been synthesized in organic phase and then transferred to aqueous solution by functionalizing their surface with silica, polymers, short-chain thiol ligands, or phospholipid micelles. However, a drastic increase the hydrodynamic size biotoxicity of QDs may hinder biomedical applications. In this paper, TGA-capped are directly at freezing temperature, they prove possess high QY (up 14%).

During steel manufacturing, surface defects such as scratches, scale, and oxidation can compromise product quality safety. Detecting these accurately is critical for production efficiency integrity. However, current target detection algorithms are often too resource-intensive deployment on edge devices with limited computing resources. To address this challenge, we propose YOLO-RDP, an enhanced YOLOv7-tiny model. YOLO-RDP integrates RexNet, a lightweight network, feature extraction, employs...

To create green, low-energy self-compacting backfill materials, this study utilizes aeolian sand, slag, red mud, and calcium carbide slag to prepare diverse solid waste materials in synergy. Additionally, a suitable amount of polypropylene fibers is added enhance its toughness. During the experimental process, unconfined compressive strength tests were conducted using digital speckle technique. Computerized tomography scanning technology was employed for internal 3D visualization samples....

Remimazolam toluene sulfonic acid is a short-acting benzodiazepine primarily studied for intravenous anesthesia. To date, few studies have focused on the effects of combination remimazolam and inhalation anesthesia or its impact postoperative recovery. Our study aims to investigate influence combined with sevoflurane general maintenance recovery quality in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. A total 109 patients, aged 60 80 years old, scheduled gallbladder hernia...

Abstract Spermatogenesis is an intricate and tightly controlled process encompassing various layers of gene expression regulation. Despite the advance our current understanding, developmental trajectory regulatory mechanisms dictating spermatogenesis remain elusive. In this study, we have generated single-cell profiles for Caenorhabditis elegans sperm cells constructed networks alongside trajectories these cells. Our findings indicate that each pre- post-developmental stage closely linked by...

Rubber-modified asphalt (RMA) faces several challenges, including poor workability, difficult construction, and high energy consumption. The incorporation of renewable light oils offers a promising solution to address issues such as viscosity elevated carbon emissions in modified with dosage rubber powder. investigation oil powder composite-modified under low-temperature (160 °C) short-term (30 min) shear processes is essential for understanding its rheological behavior modification...
