Two defective MOF-808 materials synthesized by a facile mixed-linker approach show significantly higher adsorption capacity compared to standard MOF-808.

Boric acid, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam in sucrose aqueous baits had different delayed toxicities to worker Argentine ants, Linepithema humile (Mayr). The concentrations required to produce an LT50 (time required to produce 50% mortality) within 1-4 d were 3.63-0.55% boric acid, 9.2 x 10(-3) to 7.1 x 10(-4)% imidacloprid, and 3 x 10(-4) to 2 x 10(-5)% thiamethoxam. The three toxicants were n...

In this paper, Nd3+-Yb3+-Er3+-doped β-NaYF₄ nanocrystals with different Nd3+ concentrations are synthesized, and the luminescence properties of the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have been studied under 808-nm excitation for sensitive biological applications. The upconversion luminescence spectra of NaYF₄ nanoparticles with different dopants under 808-nm excitation proves that the Nd3+ ion ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the penetration of 808 and 980 nm laser light through bovine tissue samples 18-95 mm thick. BACKGROUND DATA Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is frequently used to treat musculoskeletal pathologies. Some of the therapeutic targets are several centimeters deep. METHODS Laser light at 808 and 980 nm (1 W/cm(2)) was projected through bovine tissu...

Aqueous Au nanoparticles (NPs) are employed as the building blocks to construct chainlike self-assembly architectures, which greatly enhance the photothermal performance at 808 nm. Biocompatible polypyrrole (PPy) is further adopted as the package material to coat Au NP chains, producing stable photothermal agents. As a result of contributions from chainlike Au, the PPy shell, as well as the Au-...

New insecticides that exhibited high compatibility with environment components are very promising substitutes for control of the economic insects. Simi-field experiments were conducted on profenofos and four novel insecticides viz., spinosad, emamectin-benzoate, pyridalyl and indoxacarb to investigate their efficiency and the field persistence of their residues against 4 instar larvae of the co...
