3. Quantitative detection of Microcystis aeruginosa (cyanobacteria) in water using single domain antibodies (VHH) : dissertationGbenga Folorunsho Oginni, 2024, doktorska disertacija Opis: Microcystis aeruginosa accumulation in freshwater poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms and human health. The toxicity of Cyanobacteria metabolites urges for the development of methods for their rapid and efficient detection but what is still almost completely missing is the availability of reagents for the quantification of M. aeruginosa cells in water to monitor the fluctuations of its population. In this study, nanobodies against cell surface antigens of the toxic Cyanobacteria M. aeruginosa were recovered bywhole-cell panning of a naive phage display library. Six unique sequences were identified and three of them sub-cloned and purified as fusion immunoreagents together with either green fluorescent protein or Avi-Tag to be used for diagnostics. Theirspecificity and sensitivity were evaluated by immunofluorescence, by fluorescent and colorimetric cell ELISA and by thermal lens spectrometry (TLS). No cross-reactivity with unrelated microalgae was detected, and both ELISA and TLS methods provided a linear range of detection of several logs. The limit-of-detection of TLS was as low as 1 cell/ml.

5. A European aerosol phenomenology - 7 : high-time resolution chemical characteristics of submicron particulate matter across EuropeM. Bressi, F. Cavalli, Jean-Philippe Putaud, R. Fröhlich, J. -E. Petit, W. Aas, M. Äijälä, A. Alastuey, J. D. Allan, M. Aurela, Iasonas Stavroulas, Marta Via, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Similarities and differences in the submicron atmospheric aerosol chemical composition are analyzed from a unique set of measurements performed at 21 sites across Europe for at least one year. These sites are located between 35 and 62°N and 10° W – 26°E, and represent various types of settings (remote, coastal, rural, industrial, urban). Measurements were all carried out on-line with a 30-min time resolution using mass spectroscopy based instruments known as Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitors (ACSM) and Aerosol Mass Spectrometers (AMS) and following common measurement guidelines. Data regarding organics, sulfate, nitrate and ammonium concentrations, as well as the sum of them called non-refractory submicron aerosol mass concentration ([NR-PM1]) are discussed. NR-PM1 concentrations generally increase from remote to urban sites. They are mostly larger in the mid-latitude band than in southern and northern Europe. On average, organics account for the major part (36–64%) of NR-PM1 followed by sulfate (12–44%) and nitrate (6–35%). The annual mean chemical composition of NR-PM1 at rural (or regional background) sites and urban background sites are very similar. Considering rural and regional background sites only, nitrate contribution is higher and sulfate contribution is lower in mid-latitude Europe compared to northern and southern Europe. Large seasonal variations in concentrations (μg/m³) of one or more components of NR-PM1 can be observed at all sites, as well as in the chemical composition of NR-PM1 (%) at most sites. Significant diel cycles in the contribution to [NR-PM1] of organics, sulfate, and nitrate can be observed at a majority of sites both in winter and summer. Early morning minima in organics in concomitance with maxima in nitrate are common features at regional and urban background sites. Daily variations are much smaller at a number of coastal and rural sites. Looking at NR-PM1 chemical composition as a function of NR-PM1 mass concentration reveals that although organics account for the major fraction of NR-PM1 at all concentration levels at most sites, nitrate contribution generally increases with NR-PM1 mass concentration and predominates when NR-PM1 mass concentrations exceed 40 μg/m³ at half of the sites.

10. Accuracy of measurements of thermophysical parameters by dual-beam thermal-lens spectrometryVladislav R. Khabibullin, Mladen Franko, Mikhail A. Proskurnin, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Thermal-lens spectrometry is a sensitive technique for determination of physicochemical
properties and thermophysical parameters of various materials including heterogeneous systems
and nanoparticles. In this paper, we consider the issues of the correctness (trueness) of measurements
of the characteristic time of the thermal-lens effect and, thus, of the thermal diffusivity determined
by dual-beam mode-mismatching thermal lensing. As sources of systematic errors, major factors—
radiation sources, sample-cell and detector parameters, and general measurement parameters—are
considered using several configurations of the thermal-lens setups, and their contributions are
quantified or estimated. Furthermore, with aqueous ferroin and Sudan I in ethanol as inert colorants,
the effects of the intermolecular distance of the absorbing substance on the correctness of finding the
thermophysical parameters are considered. The recommendations for checking the operation of the
thermal-lens setup to ensure the maximum accuracy are given. The results obtained help reducing
the impact of each investigated factor on the value of systematic error and correctly measure the
thermophysical parameters using thermal-lens spectrometry.
