Aqueous solutions of the crosslinker spontaneously formed hydrogels when mixed with glycol chitosan due to the in situ formation of imine bonds. Hydrogels were characterized while additional comparisons were made with a commonly used bifunctional PEG crosslinker. The effect of introducing partially reduced graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets was also examined and led to enhancements in both mechanical properties (2.0 fold increase in modulus and 1.4 fold increase in strain) and self-healing efficiencies (>99% from 60% by rheology) relative to the pristine polymer hydrogels.The stable complex [bis(toluene-3,4-dithiolato)copper(iii)][NEt3H] has been synthesised and characterised as a square-planar Cu(iii) complex by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations. Intriguingly, when fragmented in FTICR-MS, an unusual [(toluene-3,4-dithiolate)Cu(iii)(peroxide)]- complex is formed by reaction with oxygen. Natural 1,2-dithiolenes known to bind molybdenum might stabilise Cu(iii) in vivo.The first example of diamino-benzoquinonediimine bearing both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the same 6-π electron subunit was synthesized using a straightforward one pot strategy. Captisol mouse Photophysical analysis and theoretical calculations demonstrate that this unique substitution pattern is efficient to favour the establishment of a single tautomeric structure in solution.Different acoustic wave modes are required for effective implementation of biosensing and liquid actuation functions in an acoustic wave-based lab-on-a-chip. For efficient sensing in liquids, shear waves (either a thickness-shear bulk wave or a shear-horizontal surface acoustic wave) can achieve a high sensitivity, without significant loss of acoustic wave energy. On the other hand, longitudinal bulk waves or out-of-plane displacement waves (such as Rayleigh waves) enable efficient sampling functions and liquid manipulation. However, there are significant challenges in developing a lab-on-a-chip to efficiently generate multiple wave modes and perform both these functions on a single piezoelectric substrate, especially when a single crystalline orientation is available. This paper highlights the latest progress in the theories and techniques to deliver both sensing and microfluidic manipulation functions using engineered inclined-angled piezoelectric films, allowing for the simultaneous generation of longitudinal (or Rayleigh) and thickness-shear bulk (or shear-horizontal surface acoustic) waves. Challenges and theoretical constraints for generating various wave modes in the inclined films and techniques to efficiently produce inclined columnar and inclined crystalline piezoelectric films using sputtering deposition methods are presented. Applications of different wave modes in the inclined film-based lab-on-chips with multiple sensing and acoustofluidic functions are also discussed.The main product of DpTPS9 from the social amoeba Dictyostelium purpureum was identified as (4S,7R)-germacra-(1(10)E,5E)-dien-11-ol that is also known as an intermediate of bacterial geosmin synthase, but the experimentally verified cyclisation mechanisms differ. Together with the low sequence identity this points to convergent evolution. The functionality of selected residues in DpTPS9 was investigated via site-directed mutagenesis experiments.Manganese-based transition metal oxides are regarded as one kind of high capacity and low cost anode material for Li-ion batteries. To overcome the challenges of poor electrical conductivity and large volumetric expansion during the charging-discharging process of MnO, we here synthesize MnO@carbon (MnO@C) nanowires via the polymerization inspired in situ growth of [Mn-NTA] (NTA = nitrilotriacetic acid) precursor nanowires with a subsequent heat treatment process. The growth mechanism of [Mn-NTA] precursor nanowires was studied. The morphology of the precursor nanowires depended largely on the molar ratio of MnCl2 to NTA reactants. At a molar ratio of 2, the length of the [Mn-NTA] nanowires reached up to more than 140 μm. Furthermore, the as-synthesized MnO@C nanowires were integrated with a very low content of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to prepare a self-standing paper-like MnO@C/rGO anode for lithium ion batteries without a binder. The MnO@C/rGO anode showed a unique structure with one-dimensional porous MnO nanowires hierarchically encapsulated by a conductive carbon framework. As a result, the self-standing electrode achieved a high capacity of 1368 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and prominent cycling stability with a capacity of 689.9 mA h g-1 even after 1700 cycles at 2000 mA g-1.Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a neurotoxin found in most processed and infant formulas. Amphora coffeaeformis (AC) has neuroprotective properties. We investigated, for the first time, the potential neuroprotective role of AC on MSG-induced neurotoxicity in brain using a unique procedural approach. The AC extract was characterized via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Animals were assigned into six groups; a control group, low dose MSG (LD-MSG), high dose MSG (HD-MSG), combined groups (LD-MSG + AC) (HD-MSG + AC) and AC only group for eight weeks. Assessment of the cognitive and mood domains was done via Barnes maze and an open field. Gene expression of Bdnf, TrkB, NMDA-B2 and mGlur5 in the hippocampus was obtained via real-time PCR. The hippocampi of the animals were assessed for structural changes. Oxidative stress was assessed in the cerebrum. The results revealed that omega-6 and β-coumaric acid represented the highest percentage among the constituents in the AC extract. The NO level was decreased in the LD-MSG + AC compared to LD-MSG. SOD was diminished in both treated groups compared to the untreated group. HD-MSG + AC exhibited an increase in the number of wrongly visited quadrants compared to the HD-MSG group. HD-MSG + AC showed decreased anxiety-like behavior compared to HD-MSG. LD-MSG + AC and AC groups revealed enhanced anxiety-like behavior. HD-MSG + AC showed under expressed NMDA-B2 and over expressed Bdnf and TrkB genes, compared to HD-MSG. LD-MSG + AC revealed under expression of Bdnf gene compared to LD-MSG. The AC group revealed under expressed TrkB gene compared to the control group. Overall, the results refer to the potential neuroprotective properties of AC alga against MSG neurotoxicity.
