description: The conditioning of waste-activated sludge (WAS) before dewatering is crucial for enhancing sludge dewaterability. The breakage–reflocculation that was implemented by two-stage shear (drastic first-stage shear for breakage and moderate second-stage shear for reflocculation utilizing the bioflocculation function) which was proposed as a novel WAS conditioning method with several advantages (simple operation, lower cost, and none added reagent) compared to traditional methods. Effects of the shear condition and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on breakage–reflocculation were orderly investigated. Two equations were developed by response surface methodology for predicting breakage–reflocculation conditioning performance. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that individual effects of first-stage shear rate (G1), second-stage shear rate (G2), second-stage shear time (t2), and interactive effect of G1G2 were significant. More compact WAS flocs with better dewaterability and larger floc size formed through breakage–reflocculation. This was reflected in that the capillary suction time decreased by 16.9% and mean floc size increased by 24% under the optimum shear condition. In addition, the loosely bound EPS was revealed to be closely negatively correlated with breakage–reflocculation conditioning performance, indicating its adverse role in breakage–reflocculation. The breakage–reflocculation could be used as an independent conditioning method with low cost or a part of combined method.
Ein unerwünschter Übertritt von Menschen im hohen Alter vom Spital ins Pflegeheim: Eine Forschungsarbeit über die Herausforderungen in der Klinischen Sozialarbeit im Umgang mit Widerstand von Menschen im hohen Alter und mit den Grenzen der Autonomie im Kontext eines Übertritts ins Pflegeheim

description: Die Bachelorarbeit befasst sich mit dem unfreiwilligen, nicht gewollten Übertritt betagter Menschen vom Spital in ein Pflegeheim. Ein Übertritt kann unfreiwillig sein, wenn eine betroffene Person den Willen äussert, nach Hause zurückzukehren, obwohl die Klinische Sozialarbeit erkennt, dass die Person in einem Pflegeheim besser aufgehoben wäre. Die Klinische Sozialarbeit tauscht sich fachlich mit anderen Disziplinen in der Klinik aus. Es findet eine Entscheidungsfindung statt, in welcher sich berufspraktische und ethische Haltungen unterscheiden können. Die rechtlichen Gegebenheiten werden dabei miteinbezogen. Bei Massnahmen stellt sich aus sozialarbeiterischer Perspektive die Frage, was Gesundheit bedeutet und welche Bedürfnisse und psychosoziale Faktoren insbesondere bei betagten Menschen bestehen. Der demografische Wandel wird zu strukturellen und institutionellen Veränderungen in Spitälern, im Pflegebereich wie auch in der Sozialen Arbeit führen. In der Klinischen Sozialarbeit wird in den Spitälern oft von Case Management gesprochen. Klienten- und lösungsorientierte Beratungsmethoden erweisen sich im Kontext der Unfreiwilligkeit als förderlich. Diese Arbeit zeigt auf, welche Herausforderungen die Sozialarbeiter*innen in ihrer Tätigkeit mit betagten Menschen erfahren. Mittels fünf Leitfadeninterviews mit Klinischen Sozialdiensten wurden diese ergründet. Die Autorinnen kommen zum Schluss, dass das Versorgungssystem in finanzieller und institutioneller Hinsicht neu organisiert werden müsste. Die Bachelorarbeit soll ebenfalls einen Beitrag zur Stärkung der Berufsidentität der Klinischen Sozialarbeit leisten.

description: Phytochemical investigation of the chemical constituents of the aerial parts of Scabiosa prolifera L. led to the isolation of one new flavonol glycoside, kaempferol-3-O-(4″,6″-di-E-p-coumaroyl)-β-D-galactopyranoside (1), along with ten other known compounds including luteolin-7-O-(2″-O-ethyl-β-glucopyranoside), β-sitosterol, β-sitosterylglucoside, ursolic acid, corosolic acid, ursolic acid 3-O-β-D-arabinopyranoside, apigenin, methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-β-glucopyranoside and isoorientin. The structures of all isolated compounds were established using chemical methods and spectroscopic methods including IR, UV, NMR (1D and 2D) and HRESIMS. All compounds were isolated for the first time from the plant. The antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of compounds 1 and 2 were also investigated.

description: Stress ist eine vieldiskutierte Problematik, die auch vor Kindern keinen Halt macht. Besonders im Leistungskontext der Schule leiden Kinder oft unter Stresssituationen. Chronischer Stress kann demnach schon bei Kindern zu physischen und psychischen Krankheiten führen. Woraus sich die Frage ergibt, wie Kinder in ihrer Stressbewältigung von Sozialpädagogen und Sozialpädagoginnen bestmöglich unterstützt werden können. Eine Stressbewältigung kann laut Theorie bei Grundschulkindern durch sogenannte Ressourcenförderung gelingen. Ressourcenförderung wird im Kontext der Stressbewältigung in Resilienz- und Gesundheitsförderung unterteilt und ist eine der Hauptaufgaben von Sozialpädagogen und Sozialpädagoginnen, welche mithilfe von Achtsamkeit- und Meditationstechniken eingebracht werden kann. Durch das Anbieten von Achtsamkeits- und Meditationsprogrammen in Schulen könnten Professionelle der Sozialen Arbeit somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Stressbewältigung und zur Gesundheit von Kindern beitragen. Zudem wird den Kindern dadurch ein Werkzeug vermittelt, welches ihnen auch in anderen herausfordernden Lebenssituation behilflich sein kann. Ausblickend könnten Achtsamkeit- und Meditationstechniken auch in anderen Bereichen der Sozialen Arbeit viel bewirken.

description: The lateral size of the graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets could be controlled by preparation method, and a simple and effective strategy to adjust the lateral size of GO nanosheets by selecting suitable method is presented. The high shear method was introduced to produce GO nanosheets, and the GO nanosheets (few micrometres) prepared by high shear method is about one order of magnitude larger than GO nanosheets (few hundred nanometres) obtained by ultrasonic method, as evidenced by atomic force microscopy. The FTIR, XPS and Raman analysis revealed that there are no distinct differences in composition and functional groups between the GO nanosheets produced by high shear method and ultrasonic method. The cavitation in the procedure of ultrasonic method is favourable for GO exfoliation, but it also could result in damage to GO nanosheets. The shearing force in the process of high shear method is effective for GO delamination with minimal fragmentation. The results indicated that the high shear method proposed in this paper is an efficient exfoliation means to produce single-layer GO nanosheets.

Complexes 3 and 6 were found to be non-cytotoxic. The anti-inflammatory activity of 1–6 was evaluated in both cell lines after nitric oxide (NO) production and inflammation response induced by bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as the stimulus. All metal complexes were shown to exhibit dose-dependent inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production on both cell lines. Remarkably, the two iridium complexes 3 and 6 trigger a full anti-inflammatory response against LPS-induced NO production, which opens up new avenues for the development of non-cytotoxic anti-inflammatory drug candidates with distinct structures and solution chemistry from that of organic drugs, and as such with potential novel mechanisms of action.

Memory, Place, and Desire in Late Medieval British Pilgrimage Narratives
Creators: name: McIntyre, Ruth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: In this study, I read late medieval vernacular texts of Mandeville’s Travels, Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale, and Margery Kempe’s Book in terms of memory, place and authorial identity. I show how each author constructs ethos and alters narrative form by using memory and place. I argue that the discourses of memory and place are essential to authorial identity and anchor their eccentric texts to traditional modes of composition and orthodoxy.

In Chapter one, I argue that memory and place are essential tools in creating authorial ethos for the Wife of Bath, Margery Kempe, and John Mandeville. These writers use memory and place to anchor their eccentric texts in traditional modes of composition and orthodoxy. Chapter two reads Mandeville’s treatment of holy places as he constructs authority by using rhetorical appeals to authority via salvation history and memory. His narrative draws on multiple media, multiple texts, memoria, and collective memory.

Chapter three examines the rhetorical strategy of the Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale as directly linked to practices of memoria, especially in her cataloguing of ancient and medieval authorities and scripture. Chaucer’s Wife legitimates her travel and experience through citing and quoting from medieval common-place texts and ultimately makes a common-place text of her own personal experience.

Chapter four argues that memory is the central structuring strategy and the foundation for Margery’s arguments for spiritual authority and legitimacy in The Book of Margery Kempe. I read the Book’s structure as a strategic dramatization of Margery’s authority framed by institutional spaces of the Church and by civic spaces of the medieval town. Chapter five considers the implications of reading the intersections of memory and place in late-medieval construction of authority for vernacular writers as contributing to a better understanding of medieval authorial identity and a clearer appreciation of structure, form, and the transformation of the pilgrimage motif into the travel narrative genre.

This project helps strengthen ties between the fields of medieval literature, women’s writing and rhetoric(s), and Genre Studies as it charts the interface between discourse, narrative form, and medieval conceptions of memory and authorial identity.
An Apology for Thomas Churchyard
Creators: name: Allen, Kerri
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Thomas Churchyard served his country as a soldier and a poet, and he was the only poet besides Edmund Spenser to earn a pension from Queen Elizabeth I. Churchyard maintained a very active literary career: he began publishing during the reign of King Edward VI and continued to do so through the first year of King James I’s reign. Churchyard uses his poetry as a mirror to reflect his preoccupation with the moral fabric of his society. In order to understand Churchyard’s didactic tendencies, readers must become familiar with his poem A Praise of Poetrie, for this poem explores his theory of poetry and the duty of poets to entertain and to teach their readers. He composes poems of different genres, such as the country house poem (the earliest known example of this genre in English), fable, fabliau, and friendship poems, to entertain his audience while he simultaneously teaches them the virtues of charity and temperance.

description: The Sanjiangyuan region of Qinghai-Tibetan
Plateau is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot of alpine mammals but a barren
area in terms of amphibians and reptiles. Here, we describe a new pit viper
species, Gloydius rubromaculatus sp. n. Shi, Li and Liu, 2017 that was
discovered in this region, with a brief taxonomic revision of the genus Gloydius.
The new species can be distinguished from the other congeneric species by the
following characteristics: cardinal crossbands on the back, indistinct canthus
rostralis, glossy dorsal scales, colubrid-like oval head shape, irregular small
black spots on the head scales, black eyes and high altitude distribution
(3300-4770 m above sea level). The mitochondrial phylogenetic reconstruction
supported the validity of the new species and furthermore reaffirms that G. intermedius
changdaoensis, G. halys cognatus, G. h. caraganus and G.
h. stejnegeri should be elevated as full species. Gloydius
rubromaculatus sp. n. was found to be insectivorous: preying on moths
(Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Sideridis sp.) in the wild. This unusual diet
may be one of the key factors to the survival of this species in such a harsh
alpine environment.

Lay Writers and the Politics of Theology in Medieval England From the Twelfth to Fifteenth Centuries
Creators: name: Mattord, Carola
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation is a critical analysis of identity in literature within the historical context of the theopolitical climate in England between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. The narratives under consideration are the Lais of Marie de France, The Canterbury Tales, and The Book of Margery Kempe. A focus on the business of theology and the Church’s political influence on identity will highlight these lay writers’ artistic shaping of theopolitical ideas into literature. Conducting a literary analysis on the application of theopolitical ideas by these lay writers encourages movement beyond the traditional exegetical interpretation of their narratives and furthers our determination of lay intellectual attitudes toward theology and its political purposes in the development of identity and society.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit befassen sich die Autorinnen mit dem Thema Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene mit Migrationshintergrund im Kontext der Arbeitsintegration und sozialen Ungleichheit. Dabei beschäftigt sich diese Bachelor-Arbeit mit der Frage, welche Handlungsempfehlungen für die Professionellen der Sozialen Arbeit hergeleitet werden können, damit der Einstieg und der Übergang der oben genannten Personengruppe ins Berufsleben einfacher gelingen kann. Denn Diskriminierung und Benachteiligung im Bildungssystem und auf dem Arbeitsmarkt aufgrund des Migrationshintergrunds ist Realität. Zu dieser Erkenntnis kommen die Autorinnen anhand von Literaturrecherchen. Weiter werden Erhebungen vom Bundesamt für Statistik beigezogen, um bezüglich der Gründe für Diskriminierung genauere Aussagen machen zu können. Mit Blick auf den schweizerischen Arbeitsmarkt und die vorhandenen Angebote für Personen mit erschwertem Zugang zur Arbeitswelt werden für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene mit Migrationshintergrund Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, die ihre Chancen beim Berufseinstieg erhöhen können. Als Beispiel wird das Modell von Supported Employment vorgestellt, welches unterstützende Ansätze für benachteiligte Personen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt liefert. Unter Einbezug der Soziologen Pierre Bourdieu und Niklas Luhmann sowie der Sozialwissenschaftlerin und Sozialarbeiterin Silvia Staub-Bernasconi werden von den Autorinnen Potenziale und Handlungsempfehlungen herausgearbeitet, die zur Verringerung der Ungleichheiten verhelfen sollen. Diese werden anschliessend in vier unterschiedliche Ebenen unterteilt, mit dem Ziel, eine möglichst flächendeckende Adressatengruppe zu erreichen.

description: In this study, we investigate how the updating of weights during forward operation and the computation of gradients during backpropagation impact the optimization process, training procedure, and overall performance of the neural network, particularly the multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs). This paper introduces a novel neural network structure called the Power-Enhancing residual network, inspired by highway network and residual network, designed to improve the network's capabilities for both smooth and non-smooth functions approximation in 2D and 3D settings. By incorporating power terms into residual elements, the architecture enhances the stability of weight updating, thereby facilitating better convergence and accuracy. The study explores network depth, width, and optimization methods, showing the architecture's adaptability and performance advantages. Consistently, the results emphasize the exceptional accuracy of the proposed Power-Enhancing residual network, particularly for non-smooth functions. Real-world examples also confirm its superiority over plain neural network in terms of accuracy, convergence, and efficiency. Moreover, the proposed architecture is also applied to solving the inverse Burgers' equation, demonstrating superior performance. In conclusion, the Power-Enhancing residual network offers a versatile solution that significantly enhances neural network capabilities by emphasizing the importance of stable weight updates for effective training in deep neural networks.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

A nonconservative kinetic model under the action of an external force field for modeling the medical treatment of autoimmune response

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Medical Physics (physics.med-ph)

description: In this paper, we develop a new nonconservative kinetic framework to be applied for the study of immune system dysregulation. From the modeling viewpoint, the new kinetic model regards a system, composed of stochastically interacting agents, under the action of an eternal force field. According to the application perspectives of this paper, the external force field has a specific analytical shape. In this case, some analytical results are proved, i.e. existence, uniqueness, positivity and boundedness of solution of the related Cauchy problem, under suitable assumptions, at least locally in time. Then, the models is refined to be implemented for the study of treatment strategies in case of autoimmune response. Specifically, we distinguish the autonomous case from the nonautonomous one, representing absence or delivery of drugs, respectively. The former allows to gain some stability results, still in terms of Hopf bifurcations. Whereas, the latter is qualitatively studied. Numerical simulations are provided for both schemes. They show the adherence of this new framework to the realistic scenarios, confirming its impact and potentiality.

description: The circadian clock is an endogenous and entrainable time-keeping mechanism with a period of approximately 24 h, operated by transcription/translation feedback loops composed of circadian clock genes and their proteins. The visual system displays robust circadian changes. Relatively little, however, is known about the mechanisms underlying visual circadian rhythmicity. Zebrafish period1b (per1b), as a canonical circadian clock gene, is involved in circadian regulation. Here, we observed that zebrafish per1b mutants exhibit visual defects including reduced behavioral contrast sensitivity and significant retinal dopaminergic deficiency. Further, partially damaged dopaminergic interplexiform cells in wild-type larvae also led to reduced behavioral contrast sensitivity, while exogenous dopamine administration effectively restored the contrast sensitivity of per1b mutants. Taken together, these results suggest that retinal dopaminergic deficiency derived from loss of per1b results in visual defects in zebrafish.

description: The following manuscript seeks to collect these poems in a manner that shows the reader the arc of a journey that follows the undoing of the body and of the mind, and contemplates if knowledge is more important than happiness, if a person or a place or a time in a state of ruins is more beautiful than that person, place, or time before the undoing.
«K.o.- Tropfen»: Aufgebauschtes Phänomen oder echte Gefahr: Quantitative Forschung über drogenassoziierte sexualisierte Gewalt in der Deutschschweiz

description: «K.o.- Tropfen». Eine Bezeichnung, die in Medien immer wieder auftaucht und ein klarer und bekannter Begriff zu sein scheint. Doch sind Sachverhalt und Problematik bezüglich «K.o.- Tropfen» wirklich so klar? Die vorliegende Arbeit geht zu Beginn anhand einer Grundlagenrecherche Hinweisen nach, dass es nicht die Substanz für eine heimliche Beigabe gibt und ein Mischkonsum diverser psychoaktiver Substanzen als sehr hohes Risiko einzuschätzen ist. Wichtig ist jedoch die Erkenntnis, dass drogenassoziierte sexualisierte Gewalt (DFSA) nicht bedeutet, dass zwingend eine Substanz heimlich verabreicht wird. DFSA beinhaltet vielmehr alle Formen von nicht einvernehmlicher sexueller Aktivität, bei der das Opfer durch psychoaktive Substanzen wehrlos handlungsunfähig ist, auch wenn die Einnahme freiwillig geschieht. Die Auswertung von 422 befragten Personen, die zu ihren Erlebnissen, ihrem Verhalten und ihren Erwartungen bezüglich «K.o.- Tropfen» befragt wurden, haben ergeben, dass ein Fünftel schon einen Verdacht hatten, dass ihnen heimlich eine Substanz verabreicht wurde und mehr Prävention und Aufklärung nötig sind. Die Auswertungen der befragten Institutionen haben Diskrepanzen hinsichtlich der Meinung zwischen Fachpersonen und den Handlungsweisen einiger Institutionen gezeigt. Diese Diskrepanzen äussern sich so, dass auch Fachpersonen der zuvor genannten Disziplinen grösstenteils eine einheitliche Erfassung von Opferdaten fordern, die jeweiligen Institutionen jedoch keine Erhebungen machen. Daraus lässt sich schliessen, dass eine einheitliche Erfassung von Opferdaten und weitere empirische Untersuchungen notwendig sind, um dieses nicht ausreichend erforschte Thema aufzuklären.

description: A polymer–salt aqueous two-phase system based on polyethylene glycol and sulfates was applied to explore the partition behavior of spiramycin. Binodal curves were measured by the turbidimetric titration method. The influence of temperature, salt concentration, and pH on the distribution behavior was investigated in detail by determining the partition coefficient and extraction efficiency. As pH and salt concentration increase, the partition coefficients increase accordingly. It was found that pH displays a significant influence on the partition behavior. The partition coefficient and extraction efficiency can reach 42.46 and 97.8%, respectively, at pH 9.0 and 15.80% (w/w) salt concentration.
Imagining Woman Otherwise, or Nothing: Sexuation as Discourse in Lacanian Thought
Creators: name: Carusi, Rahna
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2012

description: My dissertation looks at the connections between Lacan’s four discourses and the sexuation graph in order to claim that sexuation is discursive and that, as Lacan presents it with the phallus as its quilting point, the sexuation graph is a narrative based on patriarchal hegemony, which is one of many possible narratives. I argue that through the hysteric’s discourse and a removal of the phallus as the Symbolic-Imaginary quilting point, we can begin to formulate new narratives of sexuated subjectivities. The textual objects I use for this project are literary and filmic works where women are the central topic or figure, and the works are all created and developed by men. Following Kristeva’s focus on the semiotic, in particular men’s avant-garde writing, I choose these works as illustrations of the ways in which the depiction of women has shifted in the wake of at least half a century of feminist and queer scholarship and activism. Grounded in Lacan’s claim that “Woman does not exist,” I explicate Woman as metaphor as an Imaginary construction of masculinist logic in order to develop a theory of Woman as metonymy that collapses the oppressive, Imaginary constructions and proliferations of Woman. Finally, I read closely Lacan’s sexuation graph, specifically turning it sideways and replacing the phallus with the general, empty master signifier to show the ways in which we can construct new meanings of subjectivity.
Mobilizing Agency: Cultural Spaces, Female Bodies, and Transformation in Late Nineteenth-Century American Literature and the 1940s Woman's Film
Creators: name: Stoehr, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: This dissertation analyzes the spatial relationships present in the late nineteenth-century literary narratives of Edith Wharton and Theodore Dreiser. Utilizing a Foucaultian theoretical framework for its analysis, this dissertation analyzes issues concerning female subjectivity, cultural norms, and spatial politics. This study will also argue that Wharton and Dreiser, anticipating the later theories of Michel Foucault, clearly understood the importance of social relationships to scruti-nized cultural spaces and of gender to issues of power. It will draw strong connections between naturalist narrative spaces and the late nineteenth-century culture’s growing fascination with new forms of industrialized time-keeping and with new forms of visual technology such as photog-raphy and early cinema. As will be shown, the late nineteenth-century placed an ever growing emphasis on the visual, on the time-table, on the cultural gaze, and on what Foucault would later analyze as panoptic surveillance within a thoroughly disciplinary and chronologically micro-managed society. In its interdisciplinary focus, this study also recognizes the general mirroring between nineteenth-century literature and twentieth-century film. Using the insights gained from the literary analysis of Wharton and Dreiser, the study then takes an interdisciplinary approach to interrogating how spatial relationships are revealed through selected representations of the 1940s Woman’s Film genre.

description: Activated graphene absorbents with high specific surface area (SSA) were prepared by an easy KOH-activated method, and were applied in absorbing antibiotics, such as tetracycline (TC). After activation, many micropores were introduced to graphene oxide sheets, leading to higher SSA and many new oxygen-containing functional groups, which gave KOH-activated graphene excellent adsorption capacity (approx. 532.59 mg g−1) of TC. Further study on the adsorption mechanism showed that the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted with experiment data. To further understand the adsorption process, the effects of solid–liquid ratio, pH, ionic strength and coexisting ions were also investigated. The results revealed that, compared with pH and ionic strength, solid–liquid ratio and coexisting ions (Cu2+, CrO42−) had more significant influence over the adsorption performance. The findings provide guidance for application of KOH-activated graphene as a promising alternative adsorbent for antibiotics removal from aqueous solutions.

description: Calcein-Ca (II), Zn (II) and Al (III) complexes were successfully intercalated into interlayer surfaces of layered silicate magadiite and fluorescence properties of organic metal-chelates in the confined spaces were investigated. Structures, compositions and morphologies of the intercalated magadiites were adequately studied by tests, including X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, elemental mapping, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectra, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Results confirmed that metal–organic chelates species were immobilized onto the silicate sheets via solid-state interaction. Basal spacings between silicate layers decreased by exchanged metal ions and increased after intercalation of calcein into the interlayer spaces of cation-exchanged magadiites. The encapsulation was obtained by a flexible solid–solid reaction, and the present reaction and products had a potential of application to industrial uses. A speculative mechanism was proposed for reaction by solid-state intercalation. Furthermore, it was found that the complexes in the interlayer space also exhibited special fluorescence properties. The significance of this current work was that it provided a possible route for synthesizing metal–organic complexes that encapsulated in phyllosilicate.
