Electroanalysis of Imidacloprid Insecticide in River Waters Using Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode
In this work, a functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE/MWCNT-f) was optimized for the direct determination of imidacloprid (IMC) insecticide in river water. The functionalized material was characterized by infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR) and the modified electrode by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Results revealed that the GCE/MWCNT-f effectively increased the response toward IMC reduction by enhancing the reduction peak current and decreasing the peak potential in comparison with the bare electrode. After optimizing the electroanalytical conditions, the GCE/MWCNT-f showed a linear voltammetric response at concentration ranging from 2.40 × 10−7 to 3.50 × 10−6 mol L−1, with detection and quantification limits of 4.15 × 10−7 mol L−1 and 1.38 × 10−6 mol L−1, respectively. The recovery rate of IMC in spiked river water samples varied from 90–95%. Thus, this sensor can be a promising tool for the analysis and monitoring of IMC in complex environmental matrices.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
The LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS): VI. Optical identifications for the second data release
The second data release of the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) covers 27%
of the northern sky, with a total area of deg. The high
angular resolution of LOFAR with Dutch baselines (6 arcsec) allows us to carry
out optical identifications of a large fraction of the detected radio sources
without further radio followup; however, the process is made more challenging
by the many extended radio sources found in LOFAR images as a result of its
excellent sensitivity to extended structure. In this paper we present source
associations and identifications for sources in the second data release based
on optical and near-infrared data, using a combination of a likelihood-ratio
cross-match method developed for our first data release, our citizen science
project Radio Galaxy Zoo: LOFAR, and new approaches to algorithmic optical
identification, together with extensive visual inspection by astronomers. We
also present spectroscopic or photometric redshifts for a large fraction of the
optical identifications. In total 4,116,934 radio sources lie in the area with
good optical data, of which 85% have an optical or infrared identification and
58% have a good redshift estimate. We demonstrate the quality of the dataset by
comparing it with earlier optically identified radio surveys. This is by far
the largest ever optically identified radio catalogue, and will permit robust
statistical studies of star-forming and radio-loud active galaxies.Comment: 29 pages. Accepted by A&A; data products available at
