Numerical Modeling of a Metamaterial Biosensor for Cancer Tissues Detection
In this paper, the numerical design and simulate a biosensor to detect tumors and cancerous tissues by using metamaterial structures in the microwave regime are presented. The presented structure consists of a microstrip transmission line and a split ring resonator (SRR) that form a bandpass filter and has a unique resonance frequency. Given that cancerous tissues have larger volumes of water t...
متن کاملComputed tomography of cryogenic biological specimens based on X-ray microscopic images.
Soft X-ray microscopy employs the photoelectric absorption contrast between water and protein in the 2.34-4.38 nm wavelength region to visualize protein structures down to 30 nm size without any staining methods. Due to the large depth of focus of the Fresnel zone plates used as X-ray objectives, computed tomography based on the X-ray microscopic images can be used to reconstruct the local line...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Single Sample Multi-Axial Nanoindentation of Hydrated Heterogeneous Tissues Based on Testing Great White Shark Jaws
Nanomechanical testing methods that are suitable for a range of hydrated tissues are crucial for understanding biological systems. Nanoindentation of tissues can provide valuable insights into biology, tissue engineering and biomimetic design. However, testing hydrated biological samples still remains a significant challenge. Shark jaw cartilage is an ideal substrate for developing a method to ...
متن کاملEffects of tissue hydration on nanoscale structural morphology and mechanics of individual Type I collagen fibrils in the Brtl mouse model of Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, and is a vital part of the extracellular matrix for numerous tissues. Despite collagen's importance, little is known about its nanoscale morphology in tissues and how morphology relates to mechanical function. This study probes nanoscale structure and mechanical properties of collagen as a function of disease in native hydrated tendons. W...
متن کاملA conceptual framework chemistry of Hydrated Cations: Part I. Preliminary Ab Initio and QTAIM calculations on [Li(H20)nr (n=1,2,3).
Ion molecules with general chemical formula as [Li(H2O)] (n=1,2,3), have been chosen as model species toinvestigate the chemical properties of hydrated lithium cations. The RHF(SCVS)/UGBS level of calculationhas been used for obtaining equilibrium geometries and Rho(r) functions (electron density distributions). By theaid of fundamental physical theorems implemented in Quantum Theory of Atoms i...
