The development of sensing systems that can detect ultra-trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) remains a key challenge in biological and biomedical fields. In the present study, we introduce a simple and highly sensitive enzymeless H2O2 biosensor based on a three-dimensional open pore nickel (Ni) foam electrode functionalized with hemoglobin (Hb). Our findings revealed that the Hb maintaine...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the physicochemical and structural properties of Medifoam®Silver and to compare with other commercially available silver-containing polyurethane (PU) foam dressing in vitro. METHODS Surface and cross-section of four polyurethane foam dressings were assessed with field-emission scanning electron microscope. Thickness, density, tensile strength...

objective(s):atherosclerosis is chronic inflammatory process triggered by oxidative stress. oxidative stress can increase hydrogen peroxide (h2o2)level, which induce atherosclerosis through the processes such as formation of perivascular adipose tissue (pvat), foam cells, and atherosclerotic plaque. antioxidant is needed to control negative effects of oxidative stress. one source of antioxidant...

A variety of polymers or surfactant mixtures or aeration of a number of liquids could generate mixtures of liquid and foam. Therefore, characterizing the properties of liquid/foam mixtures has important applications in the chemical process industry. The lack of a robust automated method for characterization within limited time and with high accuracy, however, has made this task difficult. In th...

This paper investigates the parametric study of the empty and foam-filled end-capped tubes under quasi static and dynamic loadings. The numerical crash analysis of the empty and foam-filled tubes was performed using the explicit finite element code ABAQUS- explicit. Satisfactory agreements were generally achieved between the numerical and experimental results. In order to determine the crash be...

We consider the coupling between three dimensional gravity with zero cosmological constant and massive spinning point particles. First, we study the classical canonical analysis of the coupled system. Then, we go to the Hamiltonian quantization generalizing loop quantum gravity techniques. We give a complete description of the kinematical Hilbert space of the coupled system. Finally, we define ...

Abstract: Enhanced foam flooding is a chemical flooding technology, which is applied to improve the recovery efficiency of oil and gas. The oil displacement agent of enhanced foam flooding is a foam that the polymer and surfactant solution as liquid. In this paper, three-dimensional mathematical model of unsteady flow is established about enhanced foam system in the porous media, and the numeri...

Liquid foams have important practical applications. To analyze the dependence of foam behavior on material properties, and to improve foam models, foam scientists work with dozens of related simulations obtained by varying these material properties as well as parameters such as foam attributes, properties of objects interacting with foam or shape of foam containers. We present visualization sol...

Foam dynamics is gaining interests within Computational Fluid Dynamics and Computer Graphics. We believe that liquid foam, or froth, is the next evolution in the field of fluid dynamics. Froth is the natural phenomenon of bubbles that arise due to nucleation of gas in liquids. As the physics of foams in two dimensions is better understood this thesis begins the journey of physics-based foam dyn...
