This theme issue provides an excellent collection of reviews and original research articles on the study of various bioconjugated quantum dot formulations for diagnostics and therapy applications using biophotonic imaging and sensing approaches.

Coherent fiber supercontinuum for biophotonics.

Biophotonics and nonlinear fiber optics have traditionally been two independent fields. Since the discovery of fiber-based supercontinuum generation in 1999, biophotonics applications employing incoherent light have experienced a large impact from nonlinear fiber optics, primarily because of the access to a wide range of wavelengths and a uniform spatial profile afforded by fiber supercontinuum...

Rare earth spectrocopy for biophotonics

Luminescence is now extensively used in biology since it constitutes as a very sensitive way of investigations. Several applications of fluorescence concern immunoassays, DNA hybridization, protein interactions, cell imaging, Lab-on-chip etc.;; As non biological fluorescent probes, organic dye molecules and semiconductors quantum dots are the most popular. However, they suffer from drawbacks wh...

An Optimization Model for Biofuel Supply Chain

Biofuels have attracted much attention as a sutuible substitute for fossil fuels in last decade. Designing an efficient supply chain is an essential requirement for commercialization of biofuel production. This paper presents a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to design biofuel supply chains in which the biofuel demand is under ARMA time series models. It is studied how ARMA time s...
