Present article report on structural and optical investigations of doubly doped Y3(Al5-xGax)O12Ce/Eu nanophosphor. Efforts have been made to explore the interaction between the Ce3+ and Eu3+ ions and subsequently variation in overall color perception. Experimental techniques namely XRD, HR-TEM, and SEM reveal precipitation of tiny particles with diameter ~22 nm. Structural refinement has been carried out by Rietveld refinement. Photo-excitation by 342, 405, 450, and 464 nm wavelengths triggers the emission from Eu3+ and Ce3+ ions. Further, the laser excitations by 405 nm and 450 nm radiations, induced YAGGCe/Eu nanophosphor to yield combinatorial emission of both Ce3+ and Eu3+ ions; though, the intensity was found to be altered due to the two-way ionic interaction between the doped ions. The resultant emission extended in the red region. Also, the doubly doped sample exhibits strong temperature reliance on the emission intensity in the temperature range extended over 273-388 K. The color perception of the nanophosphor was observed to be significantly modified at different excitation wavelengths, temperatures, and laser powers as reflected by CIE coordinates.Herein, we describe the fabrication of green bell pepper, Capsicum annuum L. extract capped gold nanoparticles (CA-AuNPs) in aqueous medium using tetrachloroaurate (HAuCl4·3H2O) as precursor salt and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution as accelerator as well as pH adjuster. Formation of CA-AuNPs was verified via colour change from yellowish to ruby red with further confirmation through surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at 519 nm using ultraviolet violet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Other characterizations techniques include, Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) with Zeta-potential analysis (ZPA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. The resulting AuNPs were efficaciously implemented as highly sensitive colorimetric sensor for selective detection of Fe2+ in the presence of several interfering cations including Fe3+. Importantly, the fabricated CA-AuNPs based colorimetric sensor functioned linearly in the range of 0.3-7.0 ppb Fe2+, based on increasing absorption intensity with R2 value of 0.9938 using UV-Vis spectrometry. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for Fe2+ were estimated as 0.036 and 0.12 ppb, respectively. Finally, the sensor was effectively tested for determination of Fe2+ in some locally collected real water samples.Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a skin and subcutaneous infection caused by species of seven fungal genera. Identification of CBM species is performed by DNA sequencing of one or more genes, which becomes a time-consuming work. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) has been used for the identification of other microorganisms, however, only one CBM genus was evaluated by FTIR analysis to date. Therefore, the study is aimed to differentiate the CBM agents for identification at genera level using FTIR supervised by Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA region. Seventy-seven isolates of the main five CBM genera were prepared for Attenuated Total Reflection FTIR (ATR-FTIR) with a new methodology using slices of dry fungus in glass fixing-modeling proposed in this study. The algorithm Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) was used to analyze the differences and similarities between species through the spectra. Orthogonal Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) allowed to correctly classify all samples of five CBM genera. The ATR-FTIR/OPLS-DA models highlighted important contributions of regions attributed to NH and OH stretching, amide I of proteins, polysaccharides bands and fingerprint region for the complete differentiation of the genera investigated. Thus, FTIR can be a fast and inexpensive alternative for identification of CBM agents.Three new pyrrolizine-fused BOPYINs (DAB-H, DAB-OMe, DAB-ester) have been reported in 26-35% yield. The relationship between structures and optical spectra was investigated, which all the compounds show large Stokes Shift (3146-3884 cm-1) and high quantum yield (up to 99%) in solvents. Among these dyes, the decoration of electron donating/withdrawing groups on indole, pyrrole and pyrrolizine units has a significant impact on optical properties, especially emission spectra. The results suggested that electron withdrawing group on pyrrole and pyrrolizine units has hypsochromic shift on emission spectra (DAB-H, DAB-OMe, DAB-ester versus DAB-1,4,5). The optimized structure, electron distribution on frontier molecular orbital, energy gap and simulated stick spectra of DABs are discussed by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation. learn more We claim the agreement between the experimental and theoretical absorption spectra.Moisture content (MC) is one of the most important factors for assessment of seed quality. However, the accurate detection of MC in single seed is very difficult. In this study, single maize seed was used as research object. A long-wave near infrared (LWNIR) hyperspectral imaging system was developed for acquiring reflectance images of the embryo and endosperm side of maize seed in the spectral range of 930-2548 nm, and the mixed spectra were extracted from both side of maize seeds. Then, Full-spectrum models were established and compared based on different types of spectra. It showed that models established based on spectra of the embryo side and mixed spectra obtained better performance than the endosperm side. Next, a combination of competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS) and successive projections algorithm (SPA) was proposed to select the most effective wavelengths from full-spectrum data. In order to explore the stableness of wavelength selection algorithm, these methods were used for 200 independent experiments based on embryo side and mixed spectra, respectively. Each selection result was used as input of partial least squares regression (PLSR) and least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) to build calibration models for determining the MC of single maize seed. Results indicated that the CARS-SPA-LS-SVM model established with mixed spectra was optimal for MC prediction in all models by considering the accuracy, stableness and complexity of models. The prediction accuracy of CARS-SPA-LS-SVM model is Rpre = 0.9311 ± 0.0094 and RMSEP = 1.2131 ± 0.0702 in 200 independent assessment. The overall study revealed that the long-wave near infrared hyperspectral imaging can be used to non-invasively and fast measure the MC in single maize seed and a robust and accurate model could be established based on CARS-SPA-LS-SVM method coupled with mixed spectral. These results can provide a useful reference for assessment of other internal quality attributes (such as starch content) of single maize seed.
