A Practical Beginner’s Guide to Cyclic Voltammetry

Atlas of hemofiltration: a practical guide for beginners

In the second, richly illustrated part, the authors present nine haemofiltration devices. Although this section will soon be outdated because of the fast moving nature of the discipline, these brief reports form a vital aspect of the book. A few sentences are provided for each device regarding its performance and main characteristics, as is a list of major advantages and disadvantages. Hence, t...

Hitchhiker's Guide to Voltammetry: Acute and Chronic Electrodes for in Vivo Fast-Scan Cyclic Voltammetry

Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) has been used for over 20 years to study rapid neurotransmission in awake and behaving animals. These experiments were first carried out with carbon-fiber microelectrodes (CFMs) encased in borosilicate glass, which can be inserted into the brain through micromanipulators and guide cannulas. More recently, chronically implantable CFMs constructed with small di...

A Beginners Guide to Dual-Quaternions

In this paper, we give a beginners guide to the practicality of using dual-quaternions to represent the rotations and translations in character-based hierarchies. Quaternions have proven themselves in many fields of science and computing as providing an unambiguous, un-cumbersome, computationally efficient method of representing rotational information. We hope after reading this paper the reade...
