Abstract: An equipment shipping, storage, and maintenance support system that includes a cover assembly including a variety of features and a mobile maintenance platform (MMP) coupled to the cover assembly via a plurality of latches. The MMP includes retractable wheel assemblies which enable lateral movement on a support surface in proximity to an end item with an equipment item mounted thereon (e.g., an aircraft with an aircraft radar). The MMP includes a vertical lift system that attaches or detaches from the equipment item to raise or lower the equipment item during maintenance activities. The cover can be installed on the MMP to provide protection against external environment in a storage or transit/shipping modes. The MMP also includes removable jacks which enable raising or lower of the MMP either during maintenance to reorient the equipment item for maintenance or storage purposes to include mitigate of undesirable environmental impacts from storage.

Abstract: Zn(II) is selectively detected in a sample by contacting the sample with a tripodal ligand with a piperidine or quinuclidine scaffold, one of which acts as a zinc sensor, in which the rigidity of the ligand scaffold is increased. The rigidity of the ligand scaffold can be increased by adding aromatic groups or cyclic hydrocarbon groups. Examples of aromatic groups include naphthalene and the like. Examples of cyclic groups include nitrogen-substituted cyclohexane and cyclohexene such as piperidine.

Abstract: Highly sensitive fluorescent zinc or cadmium sensors are derived from 8-hydroxyquinaldine, a well-established fluorescent zinc probe, as a building block. High binding efficiency was achieved by incorporating two 8-hydroxyquninaldine moieties into a single ligand. Incorporation of sulfonamide groups further improved binding efficiency. The compounds make it possible to monitor zinc ion or cadmium ion concentration in the picomolar or femtomolar range.
