Electronic nose versus canine nose: clash of the titans

APOBEC3 versus Retroviruses, Immunity versus Invasion: Clash of the Titans

Since the identification of APOBEC3G (A3G) as a potent restriction factor of HIV-1, a tremendous amount of effort has led to a broadened understanding of both A3G and the APOBEC3 (A3) family to which it belongs. In spite of the fine-tuned viral counterattack to A3 activity, in the form of the HIV-1 Vif protein, enthusiasm for leveraging the Vif : A3G axis as a point of clinical intervention rem...

Comparision of Electronic Nose with Biological Nose

ELECTRONIC Noses (EN), in the broadest meaning, are instruments that analyze gaseous mixtures for discriminating between different (but similar) mixtures and, in the case of simple mixtures, quantify the concentration of the constituents. ENs consists of a sampling system (for a reproducible collection of the mixture), an array of chemical sensors, Electronic circuitry and data analysis softwar...

Advances In Electronic - Nose Technologies

Food quality analysis is one among the most important, complex and challenging discipline in the food sector. Due to its strict interaction with the quality of life it is extremely important to improve the performances of the methods in the field of food quality analysis. Now a days electronic noses have provided a plethora of benefits to a variety of commercial industries, including the agricu...

Sensors: From Biosensors to the Electronic Nose

Electronic nose analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.

BACKGROUND Electronic nose (E-nose) technology has been successfully used to diagnose a number of microbial infections. We have investigated the potential use of an E-nose for the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by detecting micro-organisms in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid in a prospective comparative study of E-nose analysis and microbiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS BAL...
