چکیده

The paper reports electrical properties of human blood and plasma of belonging to different physiological and environmental conditions. Dielectric parameters such as dielectric constant, dielectric loss and electrical conductivity of human blood and plasma of groups A, B, AB and O are measured at the frequency of 1kHz using digital LCZ meter. It is found that the values of dielectric constant, dielectric loss and electrical conductivity are high in plasma, low in 90% packed erythrocytes and hemolysed blood, and in between in whole blood irrespective of blood group but these dielectric parameters are more or less same in 90% packed red blood cells (RBC) and hemolysed blood. Groupwise differences in dielectric parameters in the case of plasma are not evident, but could be found in whole blood, hemolysed blood and 90% packed RBC. The study reveals that the significant variation in dielectric parameters could be attributed to the cellular concentration and also due to the presence of erythrocyte membrane, which separates the cell interior (hemoglobin) and cell exterior (plasma). Hence, it is the cell membrane, which characterizes the electrical properties of the most biologically important tissue – the blood.

Effect of morphology and nonbounded interface on dielectric properties of plasma sprayed BaTiO3 Coating

In this research, BaTiO3 thick deposit has been successfully sprayed by air plasma spray. The microstructure and dielectric properties of thick films were investigated by secondary electron microscopy (SEM) and LCR meter respectively. XRD measurement was carried out on plasma sprayed BaTiO3. The results illustrate differences in the crystal structure between plasma sprayed coatings and feed sto...

Human plasma derived drugs separation by fractionation of plasma with polyethylene glycol

Background: There are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. There are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. Ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...

Transparency of overdense plasma with V shape density profile

In this study, we investigate the transparency of an overdense inhomogeneous plasma slab. This anomalous transmission is achieved when the conditions provided for the incident electromagnetic wave to excite coupled surface waves on the both sides of the slab. These conditions require that the homogeneous overdense plasma, or the metallic film, is placed between two dielectric layers. Here, the ...
