54 V for the CCW-700//CCW-700 electrodes and 1.62 V for the RuO2//Pt/C ones. Therefore, the so-denoted CCW-x powder possesses good electrocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency.Raman spectra are molecular structure-specific and hence are employed in applications requiring chemical identification. The advent of efficient handheld and smartphone-based Raman instruments is promoting widespread applications of the technique, which often involve less trained end users. Software modules that enable spectral library searches based on spectral pattern matching is an essential part of such applications. The Raman spectrum recorded by end users will naturally have varying levels of signal to noise (SN), baseline fluctuations, etc., depending on the sample environment. Further, in biological, forensic, food, pharmaceuticals, etc., fields where a vast amount of Raman spectral data is generated, careful removal of background is often impossible. In other words, a 100% match between the library spectrum and user input cannot be often guaranteed or expected. Often, such influences are discounted upon developing mathematical methods for general applications. In this manuscript, we carefully examine how such effects would determine the results of spectral similarity-based library search. We show that several popular mathematical spectral matching approaches give incorrect results under the influence of small changes in the baseline and/or the noise. We also discuss the points to be carefully considered while generating a spectral library. We believe our results will be a guiding note for developing applications of Raman spectroscopy that uses a standard spectral library and mathematical spectral matching.Identifying and quantifying chromium in water are important for the protection of precious water resources from chromium pollution. Metabolism inhibitor Standard methods however are unable to easily distinguish toxic hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), from innocuous trivalent chromium, Cr(III), are time-consuming, or require large sample quantity. We show in this report that Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in water can be differentiated based on their distinct spectral features of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Their SERS signals exhibit different pH dependences the SERS features of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) are most prominent at pH values of 10 and 5.5, respectively. The obtained limit of detection of Cr(VI) in water is below 0.1 mg/L. Both concentration curves of their SERS signals show Langmuir sorption isotherm behavior. A procedure was developed to quantify Cr(VI) concentration based on the direct retrieval or addition method with an error of 10%. Finally, the SERS detection of Cr(VI) is shown to be insensitive to co-present Cr(III). The developed SERS procedure offers potential to monitor toxic chromium in fields.An automatic setup for reactional wettability variation (RWV) was developed by interlinking liquid selection and transportation, object movement, and image recognition. In this way, the performance of the RWV strategy is updated to a nearly unmanned control manner with the example of methamphetamine and its aptamer. On the automatic RWV detection setup, the sensing surface acts similarly as before. The aptamer-based sensing surface resulted from the breakdown of the hydrophobic basis. The hydrophobicity is constructed on the metastable aptamer layer, which is responsive to the corresponding target. Methamphetamine interacts with its corresponding aptamer and destroys the basis of the hydrophobicity. A decrease in contact angle indicates the existence of methamphetamine. The RWV phenomenon is also affected by concentration and temperature. The development of an automatic detection ability would bring new possibilities to the surface reaction on smarter detection.Pain and depression have been assessed to co-occur in up to 80% of patients, and this comorbidity is more debilitating and pricier for the patients as compared to either of these disorders alone. Aegle marmelos is a well-known medicinal plant with a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. Aegeline is a relatively unexplored molecule present in Aegle marmelos. Therefore, the current investigation aims to explore the potential of Aegle marmelos fruit extract (AMFE) and isolated aegeline against the reserpine-induced pain-depression dyad. In the current investigation, aegeline was isolated from AMFE, followed by spectroscopic characterization, i.e., using NMR and mass analyses. link2 AMFE (200 mg kg-1 p.o) and aegeline (10 mg kg-1 p.o.) were administered to reserpinized (0.5 mg kg-1 s.c.) mice, and clorgyline (3 mg kg-1 i.p.) was taken as the standard drug. AMFE and aegeline significantly alleviated the reserpine-induced reduction in a pain threshold and an increase in immobility as observed in behavioral tests of pain and depression, respectively. In silico molecular docking studies of aegeline showed a good binding interaction at the active sites of MAO-A and iNOS. The in vivo analysis showed that AMFE and aegeline treatment significantly decreased the monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) activity, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) level, and lipid peroxidation, along with an increase in the reduced glutathione level in comparison to the reserpine-treated group. Immunofluorescence studies also showed that AMFE and aegeline abrogated the reserpine-induced increase in iNOS expression. Conclusively, the results delineate that AMFE and aegeline might exert a protective effect via downregulating the MAO-A hyperactivity, IL-6 level, oxidative and nitrosative stress.DSC-TG-FTIR-MS coupling technology was used to study the mechanism of two typical binders, that is, BR and F2604, on the thermal decomposition behavior of the HMX crystal. The results show that both BR and F2604 can induce premature decomposition of HMX and increase the activation energy of HMX. Especially in the case of HMX/BR particles, the decomposition temperature is the lowest, but the activation energy is the highest. Based on the results of DSC-TG-FTIR-MS, it is found that the rapid mechanism of binder and active intermediate products inhibits the reaction of relatively inert intermediate products and prolongs the continuous generation time of gas products in the composite particles, which delays the decomposition of HMX to a certain extent. This study is helpful for us to better understand the thermal decomposition behavior of HMX composite particles and provides reference for the application of high-energy composites.With the view of achieving a better performance in task assignment and load-balancing, a top-level designed forecasting system for predicting computational times of density-functional theory (DFT)/time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations is presented. The computational time is assumed as the intrinsic property for the molecule. Based on this assumption, the forecasting system is established using the "reinforced concrete", which combines the cheminformatics, several machine-learning (ML) models, and the framework of many-world interpretation (MWI) in multiverse ansatz. Herein, the cheminformatics is used to recognize the topological structure of molecules, the ML models are used to build the relationships between topology and computational cost, and the MWI framework is used to hold various combinations of DFT functionals and basis sets in DFT/TDDFT calculations. Calculated results of molecules from the DrugBank dataset show that (1) it can give quantitative predictions of computational costs, typical mean relative errors can be less than 0.2 for DFT/TDDFT calculations with derivations of ±25% using the exactly pretrained ML models and (2) it can also be employed to various combinations of DFT functional and basis set cases without exactly pretrained ML models, while only slightly enlarge predicting errors.The fracturing fluid residing in a reservoir undergoes spontaneous imbibition. Here, to explore the mechanism of fracturing fluid imbibition and oil displacement, experiments on the spontaneous imbibition of fracturing fluid under different influencing factors were conducted on a core sample from the Ordos Basin of the Chang 8 formation. link3 Combined with nuclear magnetic resonance technology, we quantitatively evaluated the degree of oil production of different pores during the fracturing fluid displacement process. Experimental results show that fracturing fluid salinity, fracturing fluid interfacial tension, and crude oil viscosity are negatively correlated with oil recovery. The phenomenon of microscale imbibition oil displacement occurs in pores of various scales in the core. The imbibition scale was between 0.10 and 1608.23 ms. The degree of crude oil production in the pores at each scale increased with increasing imbibition time. Moreover, the crude oil viscosity, fracturing fluid salinity, and fracturing fluid interfacial tension are negatively correlated with the degree of oil production at various pore scales. Decreasing crude oil viscosity significantly improves the degree of small-pore (0.1-16.68 ms) crude oil production; the low interfacial tension possesses a higher degree of oil production in the large pores (>16.68 ms), and the increment in the degree of oil production under different salinities of the small pores (0.1-16.68 ms) is greater than that of the large pores (>16.68 ms).Microfluidic platforms offer a drastic increase in throughput while minimizing sample usage and hands-on time, which make them important tools for large-scale biological studies. A range of such systems have been developed for enzyme activity studies, although their complexity largely hinders their application to the wider scientific community. Here, we present adaptation of an easy-to-use commercial microfluidic qPCR system for performing enzyme kinetic studies. We demonstrate the functionality of the Fluidigm Biomark HD system (the Fluidigm system) by determining the kinetic properties of three oxidases in a resorufin-based fluorescence assay. The results obtained in the microfluidic system proved reproducible and comparable to the ones obtained in a standard microplate-based assay. With a wide range of easy-to-use, off-the-shelf components, the microfluidic system presents itself as a simple and customizable platform for high-throughput enzyme activity studies.In order to reveal the dissolution process, the adsorption kinetics and diffusion theory are combined and used to describe the adsorption-diffusion mechanism. This can not only predict the solubility of supercritical CO2 in polymer melts but also describe two important parameters of supercritical CO2 in the dissolution process dissolution amount and dissolution rate, which can provide a good theoretical basis for microcellular foaming. To verify the feasibility and accuracy of the theoretical calculation method, an experimental device for the volume-changing method under static condition was established. The results showed that the theoretical calculation value was in good agreement with the experimental value. In addition, the dissolution amount and dissolution rate of supercritical CO2 in three polystyrene melts with different molecular weights under different temperature and pressure conditions were measured. The results showed that the difference of polystyrene molecular weight can cause the change of dissolution rate during the dissolution process, that is, the larger the molecular weight, the slower the dissolution rate.
