Atmospheric semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs), are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, which may be present in the gaseous phase and
adsorbed onto the surface of ...
The development of amine-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) linked to
mycolic acids (MAs) as a potential fluorescent biosensor to detect tuberculosis
(TB) biomarkers is described. GQDs have attractive properties: ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potentially harmful pollutants that are emitted into the
environment from a range of sources largely due to incomplete combustion. The potential toxicity and
carcinogenic effects ...
The surface passivation of luminescent CdS quantum dots (QDs) via epitaxial overgrowth of new alloyed ternary AgZnSe shell layer is reported here. Two synthetic fabrication strategies were used to tune the optical properties ...

Air dispersion software models for evaluating pesticide spray drift during application have been
developed that can potentially serve as a cheaper convenient alternative to field monitoring campaigns.
Such models require ...
