abstract = {Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major air pollutants that are ubiquitously produced by the combustion of organic materials, and it is extremely important to identify their pollution sources. In this study, molecular fingerprinting and compound class-specific radiocarbon dating (CCSRA) were performed on PAHs from canal sediments and air samples collected in Kolkata, India’s third largest city (population approximately 16 million), where PAHs pollution has been a serious problem. Average PAH (Σ12-parent PAHs) concentrations in air samples were 65.1 ng m–3 in summer and 70.9 ng m–3 in winter and in canal sediments were 32.7 µg g–1, which are classified as “very high-level” pollution. Molecular fingerprinting using methyl-PAH/PAH (MPAHs/PAHs) ratios and isomer pair ratios with molecular weights of 178, 202, 228, and 276 suggested that wood and coal combustion were the dominant sources of PAHs in the sediment, and that atmospheric PAHs were influenced by oil combustion in addition to them. The fraction of contemporary carbon (ƒC) of sedimentary PAHs (0.056–0.100), together with the extremely low MPAHs/PAHs ratio results, lead to the conclusion that the major source of the high concentration of PAHs in the canals is from coal combustion. On the other hand, the ƒC of atmospheric PAHs (0.272–0.369) was close to the share of biomass fuels in India’s domestic fuel consumption in 2011 (about 35%). Furthermore, the observed ƒC-discrepancy between atmospheric and sedimentary PAHs in the same urban environment was interpreted to give an insight into the loading pathway of PAHs to canal sediments in Kolkata.},

abstract = {Here, we describe novel, chemically cross-linked, self-molding particulate polymer sorbents that are utilized as a molding-type solid-phase extraction medium (M-SPEM), which exhibits high permeability and rigidness. To fabricate such M-SPEM, first, polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified reversed-phase (RP)-type particulate sorbents were synthesized, thereafter, they were chemically cross-linked by a polymer having many epoxy groups together with additional PEI. By optimizing the binding conditions of the particulate sorbents, the resultant M-SPEM has almost the same adsorption properties as the corresponding unmolded particulate sorbent for some polar (e.g., uracil and adenine) compounds. The binding technique proposed here is expected to facilitate the fabrication of molding-type sorbents and improve the performance of the SPE procedure.},

abstract = {Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC)-type sorbents were newly developed for the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of polar compounds. Two methacrylate-base resins with different cross-linking monomers and pore properties were synthesized, and three polyethyleneimines (PEIs) with different molecular weights were modified onto each base resin. In both cases, PEIs with a molecular weight of 10,000 (PEI-10,000) exhibited the highest adsorption properties for polar compounds (uracil, uridine, adenosine, cytidine, and guanosine). To control the water-enriched layer at the surface of the PEI-10,000-modified sorbents, the additive amount of PEI-10,000 in the modified reaction was also optimized. When 10 times the amount of PEI-10,000 to each base resin was added, an improvement in adsorption property was observed. Moreover, the use of a nonaqueous sample solution (100% acetonitrile) during the sample loading process drastically improved adsorption, especially for uracil (about 80%) and adenosine (100%). These results indicate that the formation of a strong water-enriched layer at the surface of sorbents with an effective expression of hydrophilic interaction was an important factor in the adsorption properties of polar compounds in HILIC mode-SPE.},

abstract = {A simple and low-cost method of fabricating an optical fiber for a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was proposed. The method is based on the electroless nickel plating and subsequent displacement gold plating of the core of the optical fiber. The thickness of the nickel and gold thin films deposited on the core of the optical fiber could be controlled by measuring the reflected light intensity from the tip of the optical fiber during the plating processes. The sensitivity and resolution of the SPR sensor with the fabricated optical fiber in the refractive index range from 1.333 to 1.348 were 1324.3 nm/RIU and 7.6 × 10 RIU, respectively. The developed SPR sensor was successfully used in the determination of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in human saliva. The IgA quantification results obtained by the SPR sensor were in excellent agreement with those obtained by conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a 96-well microtiter plate.},

abstract = {A fabrication method of molding-type solid-phase extraction media (M-SPEM) bound with commercially available adhesive is presented. Six pieces of M-SPEM were prepared by heating each kneaded product of a particulate sorbent and an adhesive inserted into a six-hole cylindrical mold for hardening under an open system and normal pressure. The particulate sorbent contained in M-SPEM was divinylbenzene-based reversed-phase mode solid-phase extractants that we have reported. An examination of several adhesives showed that the moldability of M-SPEM depended on the composition and properties of the adhesive. The optimized procedure can be used to prepare an M-SPEM containing an 85 wt% particulate sorbent (particulate sorbent/adhesive, 100 mg/17 mg; particle diameter, 90-150 µm), and the M-SPEM has a specific surface area of about 500 m/g. The established procedure in this study can bind particulate sorbents together, which showed almost no reductions in the adsorption property and liquid permeability compared with those of the particulate sorbent.},
