Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this work, fluorescence (FL) quenching (turn-off) and recovery (turn-on) of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) in the presence of dispersed and aggregated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was used as a probe for monitoring the inhibition and reactivation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The FL of CQDs is quenched due to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the CQD donor and AuNP acceptor. The catalytic hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATCh) by AChE produces thiocholine, which induces aggregation of the AuNPs. The turn-off FL signals of CQDs were measured in the presence of pesticides due to the inhibition of the catalytic activity of AChE. The activity of AChE was recovered using an oximate (1-dodecyl-4-(hydroxyimino)methyl)pyridinium bromide (4-C-PyOx) reactivator, and the turn-on FL signal of the CQDs was measured. The % inhibition and % reactivation of AChE by pesticides and the reactivator have been obtained. Inhibitory protocols have been utilized for the detection of pesticides and limits of detection of 0.05 nM (paraoxon), 0.10 nM (malathion), 0.12 nM (methamidophos), and 0.13 nM (carbaryl) were obtained. This method has been successfully applied for the detection of pesticides in real water samples (tap water and river water) and apple juice samples. Furthermore, we investigated the CQD-AuNP sensing method with logic gates (INHIBIT and OR) that simply optimize the system.
