A New Rhodamine-Based Colorimetric Cyanide Chemosensor: Convenient Detecting Procedure and High Sensitivity and Selectivity

By applying an indirect strategy, a new rhodamine-based dye (I) was successfully developed as a colorimetric chemosensor for the sensitive detection of cyanide. In the presence of copper ions, the colorless solution of compound I changed to magenta; however, upon the addition of trace cyanide, the magenta color faded to colorless immediately, with a detection limit as low as 0.013 ppm (ΔA = 0.054), much lower than the Maximum Contaminant Level for cyanide in drinking water (0.20 ppm) set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Other anions, including Cl−, I−, IO3−, SO42−, NO2−, Br−, H2PO4−, F−, SCN−, HSO4−, and ClO4−, had nearly no influence on the probing behavior of dye I toward cyanide

Luminescent Electrophoretic Particles via Miniemulsion Polymerization for Night-Vision Electrophoretic Displays

A novel glowing electrophoretic display (EPD) is achieved by luminescent electrophoretic particles (EPs), which is potentially to improve the situation in which the existing EPDs disable in darkness. To combine both modes of reflective and emissive displays, a trilayer luminescence EP is designed and synthesized via an improved miniemulsion polymerization. The luminescence EP is composed of a pigment core, a polystyrene interlayer, and a fluorescent coating. The particle sizes are from 140 to 170 nm, and the size distribution is narrow. Their ζ potential value is −12.4 mV, which is enough to migrate in the electrophoretic fluid by the driving of an electric field. The display performance of the particles in an EPD cell has been characterized under the bias of 20 V. Both the reflectance (491 nm) and fluorescence (521 nm) intensities of the EPD cell remained in a constant range after 30 switches

Physio-morphological and biochemical mechanism of nitrogen use efficiency in sugarcane (<i>Saccharum</i> spp.) genotypes under different growth stages and nitrogen levels

Nitrogen is crucial for sugarcane crop to get economical sugar and biofuel throughout the world, and low nitrogen use efficiency is the main issue of sugarcane because of high nitrogen losses. In this experiment, physio-morphological, growth, and biochemical traits were observed for sugarcane genotypes (nitrogen inefficient-GT11 and efficient GXASF180-1-11) under 0.05 and 5 mMN levels at 5, 7, and 9 leaf stages. GXASF180-1-11 attained 46–58% and 16–23% more plant height and biomass than GT11, while photosynthesis and internal nitrogen use efficiency (iNUE) were 16 and 8% more at F2 fertilizer level, respectively. Highest key enzymes activity was showed in leaf whereas polynomial regression ranged between 0.53 and 0.98, 0.69 and 0.99 for iNUE and nitrogen use index. Principal component analysis explained 91.23–93.53% total variance across the stages. These results suggested that low nitrogen application rate with efficient germplasm may have the potential to improve iNUE for further cultivar development.</p
