Influence of Sample Preparation on SERS Signal by Isabela Bianchi-Carvalho, Marcelo José dos Santos Oliveira, Cibely Silva Martin, Santiago Sánchez-Cortés, Carlos José Leopoldo Constantino

“…Carbendazim (MBC), a commonly used fungicide from the benzimidazole group, was applied in this study as a probe molecule to understand the influence of sample preparation on the SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) signal. We applied the external standard method (ESM), preparing fresh Ag colloid samples (reduced by hydroxylamine) for each concentration and measuring with and without potassium nitrate (KNO₃) as an aggregation-inducing salt. …”

Effect of TiO2/SiO2 ratio on structure and properties of BaO–CaO–SiO2–TiO2–CaF2–Li2O–Na2O slag system by Hebin Jin, Shuyao Yang, Zhuo Chen, Xubin Zhang, Shengping He, Qiangqiang Wang

“…The effect of TiO2/SiO2 ratio from 0.28 to 0.54 on the structure and properties of the BaO–CaO–SiO2–TiO2–CaF2–Li2O–Na2O low reaction slag were studied for high-Ti steel continuous casting at 1573K by molecular dynamics simulation, Raman spectroscopy and rotational viscometer. The results showed that when TiO2/SiO2<0.44, TiVI in TiO2 mainly acts as a network modifier. …”

Editorial by Maria Frahm-Arp

“…Second, there is no centralized canonical theology determined by a particular body or group with authority to establish and enforce rules or regulations, meaning that the groups and churches in the movement are free to development their own theologies. The article by Resane explores this idea as he examines the impact of the Shepherding Movement within Pentecostalism and how a group of five men in the USA established a model for how churches should be run, but the movement was problematic and fell apart in the 1990s. …”
