AB  - S and N-doped carbon dots (S-CDs and N-CDs) and their cisplatin (cis-Pt) derivatives.
(S-CDs@cis-Pt and N-CDs@cis-Pt) were tested on two ovarian cancer cell lines: A2780 and A2780 cells
resistant to cis-Pt (A2780R). Several spectroscopic techniques were employed to check S-CDs@cis-Pt and
N-CDs@cis-Pt: solid- and solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance, matrix-assisted laser desorption,
ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition,
synchrotron-based Fourier Transformed Infrared spectro-microscopy was used to evaluate the biochemical
changes in cells after treatment with cis-Pt, S-CDs, N-CDs, or S-CDs@cis-Pt and N-CDs@cis-Pt, respectively.
Computational chemistry was applied to establish the model for the most stable bond between
S-CDs and N-CDs and cis-Pt. The results revealed the successful modification of S-CDs and N-CDs with
cis-Pt and the formation of a stable composite system that can be used for drug delivery to cancer cells and likewise to overcome acquired cis-Pt resistance. Nanoparticle treatment of A2780 and A2780R cells
led to the changes in their structure of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids depending on the treatment. The
results showed the S-CDs@cis-Pt and N-CDs@cis-Pt might be used in the combination with cis-Pt to treat
the adenocarcinoma, thus having a potential to be further developed as drug delivery systems.

AB  - The forensic scenario, on which the round robin study was based, simulated a suspected intentional manipulation
of a real estate rental agreement consisting of a total of three pages. The aims of this study were to (i) establish
the amount and reliability of information extractable from a single type of evidence and to (ii) provide suggestions
on the most suitable combination of compatible techniques for a multi-modal imaging approach to
forgery detection. To address these aims, seventeen laboratories from sixteen countries were invited to answer
the following tasks questions: (i) which printing technique was used? (ii) were the three pages printed with the
same printer? (iii) were the three pages made from the same paper? (iv) were the three pages originally stapled?
(v) were the headings and signatures written with the same ink? and (vi) were headings and signatures of the
same age on all pages? The methods used were classified into the following categories: Optical spectroscopy,
including multispectral imaging, smartphone mapping, UV-luminescence and LIBS; Infrared spectroscopy,
including Raman and FTIR (micro-)spectroscopy; X-ray spectroscopy, including SEM-EDX, PIXE and XPS; Mass
spectrometry, including ICPMS, SIMS, MALDI and LDIMS; Electrostatic imaging, as well as non-imaging
methods, such as non-multimodal visual inspection, (micro-)spectroscopy, physical testing and thin layer
chromatography. The performance of the techniques was evaluated as the proportion of discriminated sample
pairs to all possible sample pairs. For the undiscriminated sample pairs, a distinction was made between undecidability
and false positive claims. It was found that none of the methods used were able to solve all tasks
completely and/or correctly and that certain methods were a priori judged unsuitable by the laboratories for
some tasks. Correct results were generally achieved for the discrimination of printer toners, whereas incorrect
results in the discrimination of inks. For the discrimination of paper, solid state analytical methods proved to be
superior to mass spectrometric methods. None of the participating laboratories deemed addressing ink age
feasible. It was concluded that correct forensic statements can only be achieved by the complementary application
of different methods and that the classical approach of round robin studies to send standardised subsamples
to the participants is not feasible for a true multimodal approach if the techniques are not available at
one location.

AB  - Carbon dots are biocompatible and non-toxic nanoparticles with chemical affinity to some heavy metals. Human activities increase soil pollution with copper. Cu is an essential microelement in plants, but excess can induce a harmful effects. In plant response to Cu, the cell wall plays an important role. This study aims to estimate possible amelioration effects of folic acid based CDs on Cu toxicity by studying the intracellular and cell wall compounds in maize (Zea mays L.) roots and leaves after 7 day-treatment in hydroponics. The sub-cellular compartmentalization and bio-macromolecular changes induced by 5 mu M Cu applied alone or with CDs (167 and 500 mg/L) were studied using the Synchrotron-based Fourier transformmicro-spectroscopy (SR-FTIR) combined with X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Cu induced changes in content of cell wall polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids. The XPS detected CDs transport throughout the plants. The Cu/167CDs treatment reduced Cu concentration in the roots, possibly by complexation/trapping between the functional groups on CDs surface and Cu2+. Principal component analysis of FTIR spectra confirmed that Cu/500CDs treatment increased Cu adverse effects in most tissues but alleviated adverse Cu effects on cell wall polysaccharides in the root xylem, and on polysaccharides and proteins in leaf phloem and mesophyll.

AB  - Reports about the influence of cerium-oxide nanoparticles (nCeO(2)) on plants are contradictory due to their positive and negative effects on plants. Surface modification may affect the interaction of nCeO(2) with the environment, and hence its availability to plants. In this study, the uncoated and glucose-, levan-, and pullulan-coated nCeO(2) were synthesized and characterized. The aim was to determine whether nontoxic carbohydrates alter the effect of nCeO(2) on the seed germination, plant growth, and metabolism of wheat and pea. We applied 200 mgL(-1) of nCeO(2) on plants during germination (Ger treatment) or three week-growth (Gro treatment) in hydroponics. The plant response to nCeO(2) was studied by measuring changes in Ce concentration, total antioxidative activity (TAA), total phenolic content (TPC), and phenolic profile. Our results generally revealed higher Ce concentration in plants after the treatment with coated nanoparticles compared to uncoated ones. Considering all obtained results, Ger treatment had a stronger impact on the later stages of plant development than Gro treatment. The Ger treatment had a stronger impact on TPC and plant elongation, whereas Gro treatment affected more TAA and phenolic profile. Among nanoparticles, levan-coated nCeO(2) had the strongest and positive impact on tested plants. Wheat showed higher sensitivity to all treatments.

AB  - A simple, fast, and laboratory efficient doped P carbon nanoparticles synthesis is developed for fingerprint imaging, using 1,3-dihydroxyacetone and di-phosphorous pentoxide. Fluorescence nanoparticles, with an average size of 230 nm were obtained, without additional energy input or external heating. ATR, solid NMR, XPS and fluorescence spectroscopy revealed their surface functionalization; a reaction mechanism is proposed. Fluorescence measurements exhibited a maximum emission band at ca. 495 nm, when excited at 385 nm. The images obtained, on different surfaces such as mobile telephone screen, magnetic band and metallic surface of a credit card and a Euro banknote treated with the obtained nano-powders allows us to record positive matches, confirming that the experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.

AB  - Carbon Dots (CDs) were obtained using a hydrothermal method and used for the detection of finger-prints through fluorescent imaging. Synthesized CDs exhibited a brightness emission at 495 nm, which was related to their structural and chemical properties. The results of detailed surface characterizations by XPS, ss-NMR and fluorescence spectroscopies, suggested that the negative charge of the functionals groups promoted electrostatic interactions between the charged CDs surface functional groups (amine, amide and carboxylic) and the secretion components present in the thin layer of fluid left on the surface upon its direct contact with human fingers. The obtained results were validated by the scientific protocol of the Police Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) based on a biometric identification.

AB  - A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was surface-modified with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and applied for the effective enhancement of the electrochemical signal for dopamine and uric acid determination. CQDs were prepared from graphite by a green modification of the Hummers method. They were characterized by FTIR-ATR, XPS, solid-state NMR, fluorescence and Raman spectroscopies. TPD-MS analysis was applied to characterize the functionalization of the surface. The CQDs were assembled on the glassy carbon electrode by adsorption because of the large number of carboxy groups on their surface warrants effective adsorption. The modified GCE exhibits a sensitivity that is almost 10 times better than of the bare GCE. The lower limits of detection are 1.3 mu M for uric acid and 2.7 mu M for dopamine.

AB  - In this work carbon quantum dot (CQD) nanoparticles are synthesized from D-lactose using a hydrothermal method and then they are coated with polyethylene glycol (CQDs"PEG). These particles exhibit a monodisperse spherical morphology with an average particle size of similar to 4 nm. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed the presence of the hydroxyl groups from the ethylene glycol molecules grafted onto the CQDs' surfaces, which confirms that PEG was covalently attached to the nanoparticles' surfaces. Fluorescence analysis demonstrates a shift in the emission at 495 nm after PEG coating. Modified carbon dots were introduced into thermo-responsive pNIPAM microgels. The resultant pNIPAM-CQDs"PEG hybrid system exhibits interesting fluorescence properties. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), fluorescence microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy confirm the incorporation of CQD particles into the microgels. Finally, dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis confirms that further hybrid microgels based on pNIPAM are thermo-responsive, with a transition temperature similar to that of a system with an ionic component.

AB  - We report a nanocomposite of ZnS:Mn quantum dots and a third generation PAMAM-OH dendrimer (ZnS:Mn"PAMAM-OHG=3) which was rationalized to be used as ratiometric nanosensor for Cd2+ in aqueous solution. The nanoparticles exhibited a bright yellow-orange emission with peaks at 448 and 595 nm. The structure of ZnS:Mn was not changed after coupling with PAMAM-OH, which was evidenced by the analysis of the emission spectra of the compounds. The results confirm that the prepared fluorescence nanoparticles could selectively detect Cd2+ in aqueous solution with a limit of detection of 24.34 mu M and RSD 4.07%, obtained by using the ratio I-448/I-595. The method was applied to different water samples.

AB  - A fluorescent nanocomposite based on the inclusion of CdSe quantum dots in porous phosphate heterostructures, functionalized with amino groups (PPH-NH2"CdSe), was synthesized, characterized and used for fingerprint detection. The main scopes of this work were first to develop a friendly chemical powder for detecting latent fingerprints, especially in non-porous surfaces; their further intercalation in PPH structure enables not to spread the fluorescent nanoparticles, for that reason very good fluorescent images can be obtained. The fingerprints, obtained on different non-porous surfaces such as iron tweezers, mobile telephone screen and magnetic band of a credit card, treated with this powder emit a pale orange luminescence under ultraviolet excitation. A further image processing consists of contrast enhancement that allows obtaining positive matches according to the information supplied from a police database, and showed to be more effective than that obtained with the non-processed images. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of proposed methods.

AB  - Luminescent carbon-based nanoparticles, addressed as carbon dots (CDs), were synthesized at relatively low temperature from lactose following an easy and inexpensive procedure. Modification of their surface was done by functionalization with mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) (CDs-MSA). Transmission electron microscopy images showed regular spherical nanoparticles of 5 nm diameter. Raw and functionalized (CDs-MSA) CDs were highly fluorescent at 448 and 472 nm, with relative high quantum yield (Phi = 0.21 and 0.46 respectively). At the maximum fluorescence of CDs-MSA the intensity was quenched by addition of Ag+ ions by a static mechanism with a Stern-Volmer constant of 3.7 x 10(3) M-1. The analysis of the emission spectra showed that the CD-MSA complex was stable after this process. The quenching profiles showed that only 44% of the CD-MSA fluorophores are accessible to Ag+. The main figures of merit were detection and quantification limits of 385.8 nM and 1.2 mu M respectively, and the precision as relative standard deviation was 1.76%. No interference was observed when other metal ions were present indicating a high selectivity for Ag+ detection. The results showed that CDs-MSA can be used for efficient quantification of Ag+ in silver nanoparticle dissolution.

An interpretation of the system requires determination of the number, positions and intensities of the spectral components. In this work, the emission spectra of the synthesized ZnSe complex coated with O-phosphorylethanolamine (ZnSe-PEA), both with and without thiol DAB dendrimer generation 5 (S-DAB G(5)), were analyzed using a combination of asymmetric (log-normal) and symmetric (Gaussian) models. The method applied for the deconvolution of fluorescence spectra has proven to be very sensitive for observing the stability of the ZnSe-PEA complex after binding with S-DAB. The ZnSe-PEA emission spectrum contains two components. The positions of the emission maxima of these two components are not significantly affected by the presence of S-DAB G(5) in the complex, which revealed the presence of a stable complex at a pH of 7. By applying the spectral deconvolution method, strong evidence was obtained that suggested that the ZnSe-PEA complex is stable after complexation with S-DAB G5.
