چکیده
The NANOMA project aims at the development of a drug delivery microrobotic system (consisting of nanoActuators and nanoSensors) for the propulsion and navigation of ferromagnetic microcapsules in the cardiovascular system through the induction of force from magnetic gradients generated by a clinical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The main motivation for the NANOMA project is the early diagnosis and treatment of women's breast cancer. Current treatments of chemothera py may help shrink or control the cancer for a while, but it usually won't completely cure the cancer. The NANOMA goal presents one of the most challenging tasks of modern noninvasive medicine. A noninvasive therapy could avoid infections and scar formation; it would require less anesthesia, reduce recovery time, and possibly also reduce costs. This study investigated whether human breast cancer can be effectively treated with a novel combination of image guidance and magnetic microcapsule delivery, noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging -guided untethered magnetic microcapsule. Nearly 216,000 U.S. women are expected to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2009, with about 40,000 deaths according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Detected at early stage, the five-year survival rate for women treated for stage I breast cancer is 98 percent.

Angle metrology, or the measurement of angles, is important for many science and industry areas where the EU is globally competitive. The ability to measure angles is needed for the measurement of machine geometries such as straightness, flatness and parallelism of surfaces. This is used in industrial applications such as the manufacture of cars and aeroplanes, industrial robots, space missions...

Background In the event of a major radiological emergency, the early and reliable knowledge of radioactivity concentrations in air, and subsequently the assessment of contamination levels of farmland and of dose rate levels in urban areas are of key importance for organising sound countermeasures for the protection of the public. Therefore, all European countries operate airborne radioactivity ...
