The Synthesis and Characterization of Gold Nanoparticles Prepared with Novel Thioether-Ionic Liquids

Gold nanoparticles have found a broad range of applications in the biomedical field including in drug delivery and biosensor development.The latter applications take advantage of a unique optical property called surface plasmon resonance. Easily accessible “bottom-up” synthesis methods are commonly used for the preparation of metal nanoparticles, in which a metal precursor is reduced in the presence of a stabilizing agent to prevent aggregation. Ionic liquids have been used in “bottom up” metal nanoparticle syntheses as stabilizing agents and as a means to functionalize metal nanoparticles’ surface. Due to the strength of gold-sulfur interactions, thiol-stabilized gold nanostructures are of great interest. This project focused on the development of gold nanoparticle syntheses with a series of novel thioether-functionalized ionic liquids. The effect of ionic liquid structure and composition, ionic liquid concentration, and ionic liquid solubility on the synthetic reproducibility, elemental composition, and size of the gold nanoparticles were evaluated. The gold nanostructures were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with electron dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Possible interactions between the ionic liquid and HAuCl4 in aqueous solution were studied using fast scan cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible spectroscopy

There are no de bruijn sequences of span n with complexity 2n − 1 + n + 1

AbstractIf s = (s0, s1,…, s2n−1) is a binary de Bruijn sequence of span n, then it has been shown that the least length of a linear recursion that generates s, called the complexity of s and denoted by c(s), is bounded for n ⩾ 3 by 2n − 1 + n ⩽ c(s) ⩽ 2n −1. A numerical study of the allowable values of c(s) for 3 ⩽ n ⩽ 6 found that all values in this range occurred except for 2n−1 + n + 1. It is proven in this note that there are no de Bruijn sequences of complexity 2n−1 + n + 1 for all n ⩾ 3

PROYEK PENGEMBANGAN PRODUK MAKANAN TRADISIONAL DENDENG BALADO KEMASAN “NAN TARASO”

New product development has become a way to enhance business growth. In this case, “Dendeng balado” as one of the Mnangkabau traditional cuisines that can be transformed into new type of products by using the concept of new product development. The purpose of this paper is to examine entrepreneurial activities from the implementation of new product development by producing new type of “dendeng balado” (beef jerky): dendeng balado as an instant food. This project was carried out through several stages, starting from problem solving concept development followed by idea validation and market validation. Business strategies were formulated by using business model canvas in order to make certain that this product can be accepeted by target markets. It was found that brand new "Nan Taraso" has succesfully attracted potential target markets as they like the new packaging including its colour and design. I terms of commercialization phase, it was found that it would have been better for this product to be sold to travellers and those who see this product as “oleh-oleh” from West Sumatra. His can be considered re-target market that signifies the importance of business strategies and market dynamics

The role of animal models in advancing amyloid-beta immunotherapy to the clinic

The amyloid-beta (Aβ) hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) causality is now well into its third decade and is finally entering a phase of rigorous clinical testing in numerous late stage clinical trials. The use of Aβ-based animal models of AD has been essential to the discovery and/or preclinical validation of many of these therapeutic approaches. While several neuropathologically based results from preclinical studies have translated nicely into AD patients, the full clinical value of Aβ-directed therapies awaits results from trials now in progress

PENGARUH KUALITAS PELAYANAN DAN KEPERCAYAAN TERHADAP LOYALITAS PELANGGAN DENGAN KEPUASAN PELANGGAN SEBAGAI VARIABEL INTERVENING PADA PELANGGAN PANGKAS RAMBUT DENSIKO BUKITTINGGI

ABSTRAK Tujuan dari penelitian untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh kepercayaan dan kualitas pelayanan terhadap loyalitas pelanggan dengan kepuasan pelanggan sebagai variabel intervening pada pelanggan Pangkas Rambut Densiko Bukittinggi. Pengujian hipotesis ini menggunakan model persamaan struktural (SEM) sebagai metode analisisnya. Penelitian ini memanfaatkan informasi penting. Sampel penelitian ini terdiri dari 75 responden kuesioner yang dipilih secara acak dari pelanggan barber Densiko Bukittinggi. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa loyalitas pelanggan secara signifikan dipengaruhi oleh kualitas layanan, kepercayaan, dan kepuasan pelanggan secara parsial dan simultan. Loyalitas pelanggan dipengaruhi secara positif dan signifikan oleh aspek kualitas layanan dan kepercayaan. Analisis variabel intervening menunjukkan bahwa intervensi untuk kepuasan pelanggan dapat memperkuat pengaruh kualitas layanan dan kepercayaan terhadap loyalitas pelanggan. Fokus penelitiannya adalah Densiko Bukittinggi Haircut yang lebih mengutamakan kepercayaan pelanggan dan kualitas pelayanan. Dengan tujuan agar sifat administrasi akan jauh lebih unggul nantinya.Kata Kunci : Kualitas Pelayanan , Kepercayaan, Kepuasan Pelanggan , Loyalitas Konsumen ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to find out how the influence of trust and service quality on customer loyalty with customer satisfaction as an intervening variable for Densiko Bukittinggi Barbershop customers. This hypothesis test makes use of structural equation modeling (SEM) as the method of analysis. This study utilized essential information. This study's sample consisted of 75 questionnaire respondents chosen at random from Densiko Bukittinggi barber customers. This study's findings show that customer loyalty is significantly influenced by service quality, trust, and customer satisfaction in part and simultaneously. Customer loyalty is influenced both positively and significantly by aspects of service quality and trust. The analysis of the intervening variables demonstrates that interventions for customer satisfaction can strengthen the influence of service quality and trust on customer loyalty. The focus of the research is Densiko Bukittinggi Haircut, which places a greater emphasis on customer trust and service quality. With the goal that the nature of administration will be far and away superior later on.Keywords: Service Quality, Trust, Customer Satisfaction, Consumer Loyalt
