This method used silver nanoparticles(AgNPs) modified with graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_3N_4). The AgNPs reduced the fluorescence intensity of g-C_3N_4. Acetylthiocholine(ATCh) could be catalytically hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase(AChE) to form thiocholine, which induces aggregation of the AgNPs. This aggregation led to the recovery of the blue fluorescence of g-C_3N_4, with excitation/emission peaks at 310/460 nm. This fluorescence intensity could be reduced again in the presence of OPs because of the inhibitory effect of OPs on the activity of AChE. The degree of reduction was found to be proportional to the concentration of OPs, and the limit of fluorometric detection was 0.0324 mg/L(S/N=3). In addition, the absorption of the g-C_3N_4/AgNPs at 390 nm decreased because of the aggregation of the AgNPs, but was recovered in presence of OPs because of the inhibition of enzyme activity by OPs. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of parathion-methyl in real samples.展开更多

文摘单电感双输出(single-inductor dual-output,SIDO)开关变换器工作在共享充放时序下存在电感电流纹波大、输出支路间交叉影响严重以及电路参数宽范围变化下控制电路不能正常工作等问题.为此,提出一种独立充放时序电流型变频控制(current-mode variable frequency control,C-VF)技术.首先,具体描述变换器在连续导电模式(continuous conduction mode,CCM)下的工作原理,并推导主电路开环传递函数;进一步构建闭环小信号模型,推导闭环交叉阻抗,详细分析不同输出电压及负载电流下变换器的交叉影响特性;最后,通过仿真和实验进行验证.研究表明:相较于共享充放时序,独立充放时序C-VF CCM SIDO buck变换器减小了交叉影响,改善了负载瞬态响应性能;当两支路负载电压不等时,减轻某一支路负载可以降低该支路的交叉影响;当两支路输出电压相同但负载不同时,重载支路对轻载支路的交叉影响更小.
