A Simple and High Yield Solvothermal Synthesis of Uniform Silver Nanowires with Controllable Diameters

Silver nanowires were synthesized by solvothermal method through reducing silver nitrate (AgNO3) with ethylene glycol (EG) in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). In order to prevent the agglomeration of Ag+ in the initial Ag seeds formation, sodium chloride (NaCl) was added into the solution to form AgCl colloids. By dissolving AgCl in the late stages, Ag+ ions were released into the so...

Introducing a New Experimental Islet Transplantation Model using Biomimetic Hydrogel and a Simple High Yield Islet Isolation Technique

Background: Islet transplantation could be an ideal alternative treatment to insulin therapy for type 1 diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). This clinical and experimental field requires a model that covers problems such as requiring a large number of functional and viable islets, the optimal transplantation site, and the prevention of islet dispersion. Hence, the methods of choice for isolation of functi...

A Novel Very High Performance CMOS Current Mirror with extremely low input and ultra high output resistance

In this paper a novel very high performance current mirror is presented. It favorably benefits from such excellent parameters as: Ultra high output resistance (36.9GΩ), extremely low input resistance (0.0058Ω), low output (~0.18V) and low input voltage (~0.18V) operation, very low power consumption (20μW), very low offset current (1pA), ultra wide current dynamic range (150dB), and ultra high a...

A simple high-speed recording colorimeter system.

The rapid and continuous increase in microbiological assays requested of the routine clinical laboratory has created physical problems by the sheer number of tubes involved. One of the major difficulties is associated with the reading of large numbers of cultures with conventional instruments. In those assays where it is the rate of growth that is being measured, eg, Lactobacillus casei folate ...
