Development of new, faster methods of biosensor construction is a huge challenge for current science and industry. In this work, biosensor construction was carried out using a new soft plasma polymerization (SPP) method in which a bio-recognition layer of laccase enzyme was polymerized and bonded to a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) substrate under atmospheric pressure with a corona discharge jet. Laccase belongs to the oxidoreductase enzyme group with four copper atoms in its active center. Application of the corona SPP plasma method allows reduction of the time needed for biosensor construction from several hours to minutes. The presented work includes optimization of the laccase bio-recognition layer deposition time, structural studies of the deposited laccase layer, as well as study of the fabricated biosensor applicability for the determination of Rutin in real pharmaceutical samples. This method produces a biosensor with two linear ranges from 0.3 μmol/dm3 to 0.5 μmol/dm3 and from 0.8 μmol/dm3 to 16 μmol/dm3 of Rutin concentration. Results shown in this work indicate that application of the one-step, corona SPP method enables biosensor construction with comparable analytical parameters to biosensors fabricated by conventional, multi-step, wet methods.

The flavanone glycosides naringin, neohesperidin and hesperidin were converted chemically to the corresponding chalcones and dihydrochalcones; the one-step synthesis, performed at room temperature, required the presence of 25% KOH in the reaction mixture for the former and 10% KOH, a catalyst and molecular hydrogen at atmospheric pressure for the latter.


The author institutes a comparison between the barometric heights as observed at the Apartments of the Royal Society, and at his house in Herefordshire, in the neighbourhood of Ross, with a view to ascertain the influence of prevailing winds on the atmospheric pressure. The barometers thus compared together were of the same construction, and by the same maker; and the times of observation, namely nine o’clock a. m. and three o’clock p. m., were the same at both places, the distance between which is 110 miles in longitude, and about 20 in latitude. The degree of accordance in the march of the two barometers is exhibited by that of curves traced on three sheets accompanying the paper. The results are given in eight tables. The author agrees with Schubler in ascribing the currents prevailing in the atmosphere to the variable relations of heating and cooling which obtains between the Atlantic Ocean and the continent of Europe at different seasons; the facts ascertained by the series of observations here presented being in accordance with that hypothesis. If the northerly and westerly winds in England be partly the effect of the expansion of the air on the continent, then the barometer which is nearest to the continent, or in this instance that at London, ought to be relatively more depressed than the one more distant; or if the southerly and easterly winds be regarded as proceeding to the ocean, then, for a similar reason, the barometer nearest to the ocean ought to be relatively depressed; and that both these effects are produced, is shown by the tables. This view of the subject also, the author remarks, is corroborated by Raymond’s observations, detailed in his memoir on the determination of the height of Clermont Ferrand, from which it appears that with the north winds, the southern barometer was most depressed; while the reverse occurred with the southerly winds.

The highly pure acicular nanosize Mg,Al-hydrotalcite was synthesized by the one-step liquid reaction method at atmospheric pressure. The favorable growth unit in the reaction liquid, the requirements of Al3+ entering the Mg2+-(OH-)6 octahedral and forming the growth unit M-(OH-1)6 (M=Mg2+, Al3+) and growth mechanism that the nanosize Mg,Al-hydrotalcite crystal embryo follows are studied according to the test results of XRD, TEM, SEM and IR. Later, that the nanosize Mg,Alhydrotalcite crystal embryo growth follows the gathering growth theory was deeply investigated.

Doping Ag-enhanced and glutathione-stabilized Au nanoclusters (GSH–Ag/AuNCs) were prepared by the one-step ultraviolet radiation combined with microwave heating method. The effects of the molar ratio of Au–Ag and different types of energy suppliers on the fluorescent performance of GSH–Ag/AuNCs were studied in detail. After that, a new ratio fluorescent probe (RF-probe) based on the mixing of GSH–Ag/AuNCs with carbon dots (CDs) was designed for sensitive and selective determination of copper gluconate (CG) and cupric sulfate (CS). For the CDs–GSH–Ag/AuNCs RF-probe, the fluorescence (FL) of CDs (at 440[Formula: see text]nm) and that of alloy nanoclusters (NCs) (at 605[Formula: see text]nm) were, respectively, unaffected and strongly quenched in the presence of CG/CS at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm coming from the dynamic quenching process. Corresponding linear ranges and limit of detection (LOD) of the RF-probe for the CG/CS assay were estimated to be 0.17–6.20/0.17–5.62[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mol/L and 16.80/15.95[Formula: see text]nmol/L, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed RF-probe was successfully used for the assays of CG in CG tablets and CG additive, and CS in infant formula and CS additive, respectively.
