Useful surface parameters for biomaterial discrimination

Phage Display Technology for Surface Functionalization of a Synthetic Biomaterial

All entangled states are useful for channel discrimination.

We prove that every entangled state is useful as a resource for the problem of minimum-error channel discrimination. More specifically, given a single copy of an arbitrary bipartite entangled state, it holds that there is an instance of a quantum channel discrimination task for which this state allows for a correct discrimination with strictly higher probability than every separable state.

Surface Treated Catheters for Vascular Access—Useful?

Background: Catheter-related infections (CRI), thrombosis, and stenosis are among the most frequent complications associated with catheters which are inserted in vessels as vascular access. These problems are usually related to the handling of the staff, the catheter materials, and the surface properties of the catheter. To mitigate such complications surface treatment process of the outer surf...

Channelrhodopsin as a Noble Biomaterial Useful for the Operation and Performance Test of the Ionchannel Devices

The light-gated ion-channel protein is expected to be able to improve the performance of ionchannel devices for the multi-point screening and neural network devices based on the planar patch clamp. However, no studies with light-gated ion channels on a planar patch clamp have been reported. We constructed an incubation type of planar patch clamp biosensor using silicon-on-insulator substrates w...

Discrimination of Surface Textures

This paper investigates the use of fractal metrics for discrimination of copper surface textures. Measurements of copper surfaces, using contacting profilometry, provided the raw data for the fractal analysis. The samples tested included copper foil samples and a copper lead frame, typical of those in use in plastic electronic packages. The fractal Hausdorf dimension and upper/lower ranges of f...
