The present work describes the construction of a new modified electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of a metallocene, which has been introduced in the experimental part, as a mediator at the surface of glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The proposed modified GC electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in phosphate buffer (PB) solution (pH = 4.0). When compared to bare GC...

An accelerator facility for radiotherapy of cancer tumours with ions is proposed for the Radiologische Universitaetsklinik in Heidelberg. Design studies have been done for the synchrotron injector-complex with respect to construction and operation costs as well as to a save and simple handling of the machine [1]. After the source section and a LEBT path the beam will be injected into the RFQ at...

Micromirrors fabricated by MEMS technology have demonstrated to be important sensing or actuating components in many industrial and biomedical applications such as laser scanning displays, optical switch matrices, and biomedical imaging systems. In this paper, various actuation mechanisms for micromirrors are described. A new geometric configuration of a stacked micromirror that is actuated by ...

In a previous paper (Burr et al., 1936), a technique was described for the measurement of relatively steady state potential differences in living systems. The technique was designed to measure one aspect of a primary property of protoplasm, the electro-dynamic field. Its purpose was to provide a procedure which would give reproducible and predictable measurements of relatively pure voltage diff...

A significant body of work on biomedical text mining is aimed at uncovering meaningful associations between biological entities, including genes. This has the potential to offer new insights for research, uncovering hidden links between genes involved in critical pathways and processes. Recently, high-throughput studies have started to unravel the genetic landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukem...

Current research on topics such as effective connectivity, neuronal coding strategy or signal propagation in the central nervous system requires simultaneous recordings from multiple sites within functionally grouped but topologically distributed neuronal clusters. We have addressed this issue by characterization of the cortical functional architecture using optical imaging of intrinsic signals...

The purposes of this in vivo study were to determine if placing a sealant over a glass ionomer restoration modifies its fluoride release, and to examine the effect on glass ionomer of a 4-min application of topical fluoride. Fluoride release from glass ionomer preventive resin restorations placed in 21 bovine teeth was measured before and after removing their sealants. Fuji II, Ketac Silver, an...

Electrospinning is an important, widely used process to generate nanofibers. However, there is still an open window for different designs of both spinneret and collector electrodes to be investigated. This paper introduces the impact of new design of conical spinneret electrode on the generated electrospun nanofibers. In this work, the conical feeder is used to generate electrospun Poly(vinyl a...
