Thin-walled graphitic nanocages as a unique platform for amperometric glucose biosensor by Guo, Chun Xian, Zhao, Min Sheng, Shen, Yiqiang, Dong, Zhili, Li, Chang Ming

“…A thin-walled graphitic nanocages material with well-developed graphitic structure, large specific surface area and pronounced mesoporosity was synthesized and used to construct a sensing interface for an amperometric glucose biosensor, showing a high and reproducible sensitivity of 13.3 μA mM−1 cm−2, linear dynamic range of 0.02−6.2 mM, and fast response time of 5 s. It was successfully used to accurately detect glucose in human serum with effective discrimination to common interference species such as dopamine, ascorbic acid, acetaminophen, and uric acid.…”

Evidence of rapid hydrogen chloride uptake on water ice in the atmosphere of Mars by Luginin, M, Trokhimovskiy, A, Taysum, B, Fedorova, AA, Korablev, O, Olsen, KS, Montmessin, F, Lefèvre, F

“…From these particular examples we conclude that the heterogeneous uptake of HCl onto water ice operates on Mars and is a fast mechanism regulating the HCl abundance in the atmosphere of Mars.…”

Strike a pose: tracking people by finding stylized poses by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…We find that we can quite accurately automatically find and track multiple people interacting with each other while performing fast and unusual motions.…”

Comparison product optimization performance of fed-batch fermentation processes for penicillin G production by Noor Asma Fazli, Abdul Samad, Arshad, Ahmad

“…To provide on-line estimates of the difficult to measure penicillin concentration, Partial Least Squares model was employed. These estimates were then used in the control loop and successful control of the product concentration was established. …”

Triadic resonant instability in confined and unconfined axisymmetric geometries by Boury, S., Maurer, P., Joubaud, S., Peacock, T., Odier, P.

“…In both the confined and unconfined cases, we show that sub-harmonics can be spontaneously generated from a primary wave field if they satisfy at least a resonance condition on their frequencies of the form ω0 = ±ω1 ± ω2. …”

Segmental reporting in Singapore by Goh, Eddie Guan Chua, Jong, Voon Hoo, Kwong, Choong Kuen

“…We have also suggested for the mandatory disclosure of the basis of joint cost allocation to improve the disclosure requirement. Last but not least, we have found that the matrix form of presenting segmental reports (as shown in Chapter Six) can be used to enhance decision making and thus improve the disclosure requirement of SAS 23. …”
