Non-enzymatic electrochemical impedance sensor for selective detection of electro-inactive organophosphate pesticides using Zr-MOF/ZrO < sub > 2 < /sub > /MWCNT ternary composite
This study describes the solvothermal synthesis of a ternary composite comprising multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), zirconium oxide, and a zirconium-metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF). The ternary composite was characterised using XRD, FESEM, FTIR, and BET. The ternary composite provides a large surface area (1158 m2/g) compared with the pristine Zr-MOF (868 m2/g). The composite-modified glassy carbon electrode was used to determine nine pesticides, including organophosphate (malathion, dimethoate, chlorpyrifos, monocrotophos, and glyphosate) and non-organophosphate (thiophanate methyl, carbendazim, atrazine, and 2,4, D...

Environ Res. 2024 Mar 8:118595. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118595. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver the last years, the strategy of employing inevitable organic waste and residue streams to produce valuable and greener materials for a wide range of applications has been proven an efficient and suitable approach. In this research, sulphur-doped porous biochar was produced through a single-step pyrolysis of birch waste tree in the presence of zinc chloride as chemical activator. The sulfur doping process led to a remarkable impact on the biochar structure. Moreover, it was shown that sulfur doping also had an important imp...

Accessing Mg-Ion Storage in V2PS10 via Combined Cationic-Anionic Redox with Selective Bond Cleavage
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Mar 6:e202400837. doi: 10.1002/anie.202400837. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMagnesium batteries attract interest as alternative energy-storage devices because of elemental abundance and potential for high energy density. Development is limited by the absence of suitable cathodes, associated with poor diffusion kinetics resulting from strong interactions between Mg2+ and the host structure. V2PS10 is reported as a positive electrode material for rechargeable magnesium batteries. Cyclable capacity of 100 mAh g-1 is achieved with fast Mg2+ diffusion of 7.2[[EQUATION]]10-11-4[[EQUATION]]10-14 cm2s...

Shrouded in history: Unveiling the ways of life of an early Muslim population in Santar ém, Portugal (8 < sup > th < /sup > – 10 < sup > th < /sup > century AD)
In this study, skeletal material from 58 adult individuals was analysed for stable carbon (δ13Ccol;δ13Cap), nitrogen (δ15N) and sulphur (δ34S) isotope ratios in bones, and stable oxygen (δ18O), carbon (δ13Cen) and radiogenic strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes in tooth enamel. The results of this study revealed a dietary pattern of predominantly C3-plant and domestic C3-fed herbivore consumption during adulthood (δ13Ccol andδ15N, respectively) but a higher proportion of C4-plant input during childhood (δ13Cen) for some individuals —interpreted as possible childhood consumption of millet porridge, a common practice in...

Efficient Cr(VI) removal by pyrite/porous biochar: Critical role of potassium salt and sulphur
Environ Pollut. 2024 Feb 28:123641. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123641. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe excessive accumulation of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in the environment poses a risk to environment and human health. In the present study, a potassium bicarbonate-modified pyrite/porous biochar composite (PKBC) was prepared in a one-step process and applied for the efficient removal of Cr(VI) in wastewater. The results showed that PKBC can significantly remove Cr(VI) within 4 h over a wide range of pH (2-11). Meanwhile, the PKBC demonstrated remarkable resistance towards interference from complex ions. The addition o...

Phage treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa yields a phage-resistant population with different susceptibility to innate immune responses and mild effects on metabolic profiles
In this study, we have investigated innate immune activation capacity and metabolic features of a population of P. aeruginosa PAO1 phage-resistant mutants with diverse genetic modification (large genomic deletions and point mutations) arising after exposure to phages targetting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Type-4 pili (T4P). Deletions led to the loss of genes involved in LPS synthesis, cell envelope permeability, efflux systems, biofilm production, oxidative stress tolerance, and DNA repair. Loss of LPS O antigen resulted in bacterial sensitivity to serum complement and stimulation of inflammatory cascades but did not cause...

A peptide derived from TID1S rescues frataxin deficiency and mitochondrial defects in FRDA cellular models
Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA), the most common recessive inherited ataxia, results from homozygous guanine–adenine–adenine (GAA) repeat expansions in intron 1 of the FXN gene, which leads to the deficiency of frataxin, a mitochondrial protein essential for iron-sulphur cluster synthesis. The study of frataxin protein regulation might yield new approaches for FRDA treatment. Here, we report tumorous imaginal disc 1 (TID1), a mitochondrial J-protein cochaperone, as a binding partner of frataxin that negatively controls frataxin protein levels. TID1 interacts with frataxin both in vivo in mouse cortex and in vitro in corti...

A novel “off–on” peptide fluorescent probe for the detection of copper and sulphur ions in living cells
New J. Chem., 2024, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D3NJ05888C, PaperXue-jiao Wang, Jiang Zhou, Liang-chao Yuan, Jing-cheng Hou, Jiang Wu, Peng-cheng Lin The fluorescent peptide probe FGP1 quickly detects Cu2+ ions, leading to visible fluorescence quenching. The addition of S2 − ions to the FGP1-Cu complex restores fluorescence, resulting in an 'off –on' process. To cite this article before page numbers are assigned, use the DOI form of citation above.
