Electrochemical immunoassay for human chorionic gonadotrophin based on Pt hollow nanospheres and silver/titanium dioxide nanocomposite matrix

BACKGROUND: A new electrochemical immunosensor for human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) assay was developed based on Pt hollow nanospheres and silver/titanium dioxide nanocomposites. Silver nanoparticles were initially doped into TiO₂ and chitosan (Cs) colloids to form silver/titanium dioxide nanocomposites (Ag? TiO₂? Cs), which had good redox electrochemical activity and excellent film‐forming ability. Then, the free amino groups of chitosan were used to attach Pt hollow nanospheres for immobilization of human chorionic gonadotropin antibody (anti‐HCG) to construct an immunosensor. RESULTS: Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) confirmed consecutive growth of the multilayer films, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to describe the microstructure of nanoparticles. Optimal response of the immunosensor was obtained at pH 6.5 and 25 °C with an incubation time of 40 min. The immunosensor exhibited a linear range from 0.5 to 250 mIU mL^?1 HCG with a detection limit of 0.26 mIU mL^?1 at three times background noise. The selectivity, stability and repeatability of the immunosensor were satisfactory. CONCLUSION: The strategy showed low‐cost, high sensitivity, broad linear range and fast analytical time. It is expected that the immobilized technique and the detection methodology could be further developed for other proteins. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry

A new technique for large-area thin film CdS/CdTe solar cells

The atmospheric pressure CSS method has been developed as a reproducible and efficient process. Thin film CdTe grown under atmospheric pressure has a rough surface morphology. The density of carbon black powder in the graphite carbon paste for screen printing is a key factor in reducing the series resistance of the device with rough surface CdTe. Using graphite carbon paste with 7 wt% carbon black powder has resulted in cells with a relatively low back contact resistance. A highly efficient large-area CdS/CdTe solar cell (11.0%, 5327 cm²) sub-module has been fabricated using the new technique.

10kV/2kA混合型限流熔断器用电弧触发器的分析与设计

电弧触发式混合型限流熔断器是电子测控式限流熔断器的一种更新装置,具有可靠性高、体积小、成本低等优点,但现有产品的最高额定电流只有600A,额定极限分断电流只有25kA。为此,对电弧触发式装置进行了分析,认为制约其额定电流和极限分断电流水平的关键因素是电弧触发器的动作快速性不够,提高动作快速性的有效方法是提高狭颈的载流密度。基于ANSYS 11.0软件对电弧触发器进行仿真分析和参数优化,获得了电弧触发器熔体的优化设计结构。实际制作的电弧触发器,其狭颈额定载流密度高达3 300A/mm2,可用于额定电压10kV、额定电流2kA、额定分断能力40kA的混合型限流熔断器。     

不同土壤对化肥厂废水中铵的吸附特征

含铵化肥厂废水污灌有可能引起地下水污染。包气带土壤的吸附作用是阻滞其铵进入含水层的重要过程。选取某包气带不同深度4个典型土样,利用室内批模拟实验,以实验室配制硫酸铵溶液作对比,研究土壤对化肥厂废水中铵的吸附动力学及等温吸附特征。结果显示:土壤颗粒极易吸附铵,废水有机物等物质能延长吸附平衡时间,并影响土壤对铵的吸附能力——在低浓度铵溶液中表现为增加作用,在高浓度铵溶液中的表现为受土壤有机质含量影响;不同质地土壤对铵具有不同的吸附行为,总体上黏性土的吸附能力大于砂土;与Freundlich和Langmuir等温式相比,BET等温式能够与实验吸附数据更好拟合,验证了BET公式用于铵等温吸附特征研究的可行性,表明铵在土壤胶体颗粒中的吸附方式为多分子层吸附。

A Retargetable Compilation Methodology for Embedded Digital Signal Processors Using a Machine-Dependent Code Optimization Library

We address the problem of code generation for embedded DSP systems. Such systems devote a limited quantity of silicon to program memory, so the embedded software must be sufficiently dense. Additionally, this software must be written so as to meet various high-performance constraints. Unfortunately, current compiler technology is unable to generate dense, high-performance code for DSPs, due to the fact that it does not provide adequate support for the specialized architectural features of DSPs via machine-dependent code optimizations. Thus, designers often program the embedded software in assembly, a very time-consuming task. In order to increase productivity, compilers must be developed that are capable of generating high-quality code for DSPs. The compilation process must also be made retargetable, so that a variety of DSPs may be efficiently evaluated for potential use in an embedded system. We present a retargetable compilation methodology that enables high-quality code to be generated for a wide range of DSPs. Previous work in retargetable DSP compilation has focused on complete automation, and this desire for automation has limited the number of machine-dependent optimizations that can be supported. In our efforts, we have given code quality higher priority over complete automation. We demonstrate how by using a library of machine-dependent optimization routines accessible via a programming interface, it is possible to support a wide range of machine-dependent optimizations, albeit at some cost to automation. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology, which has been used to build good-quality compilers for three fixed-point DSPs.
