A colorimetric aptasensor for the highly sensitive detection of 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine based on G-quadruplex–hemin DNAzyme

Development of λ-fiber recrystallization texture and magnetic property in Fe–6.5wt% Si thin sheet produced by strip casting and warm rolling method

“…Strip casting experiment of the 2.0 mm thick sheet was carried out by using a vertical type twin-roll strip caster, as reported in previous literatures [10,11]. The as-cast sheet was then hot rolled to 1.50 mm at 1050 1C and further warm rolled to 0.50 mm at 350 1C.…”

“…Strip casting produces thin sheets directly from the melt and generates the desired texture in the as-cast state [7][8][9][10][11][12]. In the present work, an Fe-6.5 wt%Si-0.3 wt%Al as-cast sheet was produced by the twin-roll strip casting process, and followed by hot rolling, warm rolling and annealing.…”

Aptamers in analytics

“…73 Thus, the conformational switch from a random coil to a G-quadruplex that occurs in the 8-OHdG aptamer when it binds the DNA adduct, 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), was used to create a gain of function peroxidase-like DNAzyme with a color change maximum at 416 nm. 74 The detection limit of this chimeric aptamer for 8-OHdG, a cancer marker found in human urine, was reported as 141 pM with a linear response range of 0.466 to 247 nM 8-OHdG.…”

Fabrication of grain-oriented silicon steel by a novel way: Strip casting process

“…Metallurgists have made lots of efforts to apply strip casting in the manufacturing of steels due to its superiority over conventional process [3][4][5]. Recently, Liu et al [6][7][8][9] successfully produced high-permeability non-oriented silicon steel based on strip casting by sufficiently utilizing its advantage in controlling the solidification texture. It is reported that the ideal texture for use in electrical motors is found in the section transverse to the columnar growth direction of ferritic steels solidification [10].…”

“…It is reported that the ideal texture for use in electrical motors is found in the section transverse to the columnar growth direction of ferritic steels solidification [10]. Liu et al [6] found that this desired texture could be achieved by controlling key technological parameters during strip casting. Thus, strip casting has a great advantage in manufacturing non-oriented silicon steels.…”
