The present study provides a significant conceptual advance in graphene oxide based humidity sensors. It is found that sensor response is directly dependent on the amount of OH− groups. The proposed strategy to control OH− in this report can make significant impact on the development of future smart GO-based humidity sensors and should be applicable to other gases.

The durability of novel metallic artifacts and buildings is an open issue, and the role of smart protecting coatings in extending these artifacts’ lifetimes is crucial. In this paper, the role of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets on enhancing the self-cleaning properties of composite TiO2 films and reducing metal alterations due to contact with acid rain and pollutants is investigated. The photocatalytic assessment of the TiO2 based films indicates that there are optimum contents for γ-Fe2O3 and rGO, which confer the film lower bandgap and tune the TiO2 anatase/rutile ratio. By adding a proper content of γ-Fe2O3, wettability is reduced both in dark and under illumination, which could be related to higher roughness. γ-Fe2O3 overloading causes increasing crack density and eventually a fully cracked structure. Adding an appropriate amount of rGO causes a sharp increase in roughness, due to the stacking of rGO nanosheets, while simultaneously avoiding cracking. At higher contents of rGO, wettability further decreases due to higher amounts of hydroxyl groups bound onto rGO; also in this case, overloading causes film cracking. Evaluation of self-cleaning performance and discoloration resistance under soiling and acid rain simulated tests demonstrates that proper loadings of γ-Fe2O3 and rGO present higher efficiency thanks to higher superhydrophilic tendency and higher photocatalytic activities, as well as an efficient barrier effect.

The crystallization time and surface modifications concerning the hydroxyl groups on the ZnO catalyst were studied and the results suggest that there is a balance between the surface groups and morphology playing a critical role in its photoactivity.

AbstractRecent prevalence estimates for autism have been alarming as a function of the notable increase. Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in screening, assessment and intervention for children with autism. This article reviews signs that may be indicative of autism at different stages of language development, and discusses the importance of several psychometric properties—sensitivity and specificity—in utilizing screening measures for children with autism. Critical components of assessment for children with autism are reviewed. This article concludes with examples of intervention targets for children with ASD at various levels of language development.
