Article Abstract

The sol-gel auto-combustion technique is an effective method for the synthesis of the composites. In this research for the first time, CoTiO/CoFeO nanocomposites are successfully synthesized via a new sol-gel auto-combustion technique. The glucose, maltose and starch are used as fuel, capping and reducing agents, also the optimal reducing agent is chosen. The effects of quantity of reducing agent, molar ratio of Ti:Co, calcination temperature and time on the morphology, particle size, magnetic property, purity and phase of the nanocomposites are investigated. XRD patterns show formation of CoTiO/CoFeO spherical nanoparticles with nearly evenly distribution, when the molar ratio of Co/Ti is 1:1. EDS analysis confirm results of XRD. The magnetic behavior of the nanocomposites is studied by VSM. The nanocomposites exhibit a high coercivity at room temperature.

Photoreforming of biomass presents a promising approach for sustainable H production by utilizing renewable solar energy under ambient conditions. However, its application is often limited by the poor solubility of biomass-derived substrates. Herein, this challenge is addressed by synthesizing hydrophilic, electron-rich pyridine-based glycopolymers via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, followed by deacetylation of glucose- and maltose-based segments.

Accurate and accessible glucose detection is essential for clinical diagnostics, point-of-care testing, food safety, and biosensing applications. In this study, we present a simple, scalable, and dual-mode glucose sensor that integrates commercial potassium permanganate (KMnO) with glucose oxidase to enable sensitive and selective detection in the clinically critical range of 1-5 mM. Leveraging the strong oxidative power and distinct optical characteristics of KMnO, the sensor operates via both absorbance measurement at 400 nm and visual colorimetric analysis, displaying a clear color change from purple to pink and yellow upon reaction with glucose.

: Eating has been suggested to be one of the most important hedonic behaviors. Anhedonia, a symptom of depression, may be associated with decreased food intake, although increase of food intake could be a symptom of depression as well. Our aim was to explore the association of mood-related symptoms and anhedonia with carbohydrate and sugar intake in never-depressed control persons and depressed patients.

Improving yield stability under water-limited conditions is a key objective of wheat breeding programmes. One trait of particular interest is carbohydrate accumulation and remobilisation. This study assessed the genetic basis of aspects of yield and flag leaf sugar contents under drought and well-watered conditions using mapping in a population of 90 doubled haploid lines derived from the cross Chinese Spring × SQ1.
