Highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles on ultrasmall EMT zeolite: A peroxidase-mimic nanoenzyme for detection of H2O2 or glucose by Li, Xiaolong

“…A facile and reliable colorimetric assay based on the peroxidase mimic of Pt/EMT nanocomposite was constructed for precise detection of H2O2 and glucose in a wide linear range, with low limits of detection of 1.1 ?M and 13.2 ?M, respectively. Due to high selectivity to glucose against other sugars on the catalyst, the method was demonstrated to accurately measure the concentration of glucose in real samples including human blood serum and fruit juices, indicating a potential application of the Pt/EMT nanocomposites as a robust peroxidase mimic and a reliable biosensor in the fields of clinical diagnosis, pharmaceutical, food research and so on. 2020…”

The nexus between debt structure, firm performance, and the financial crisis: non-linear panel data evidence from Japan by Zeitun, Rami

“…This study seeks to analyze the non-linear relationship between a firm's debt structure and performance based on evidence from Japan through the use of a panel data fixed effects model for a sample of 1,670 listed firms. This is the first study that looks at the effect of the short-term debt threshold on corporate performance, as well as the influence of the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC) on the nonlinear effect of debt structure on corporate performance. …”

Role of TiO2 and carbon nanotubes on polyethylene, and effect of accelerated weathering on photo oxidation and mechanical properties by Zagho M.M.

“…Addition of CNTs had negligible effect on the tensile strength but it kept the same approximate value of the original before the accelerated weathering (e.g., 23.2 MPa for 1 wt% of CNTs). CNTs also protected the samples even with the presence of TONPs because of the absorbance and antioxidants effects. …”
