Proteinaceous moieties are critical elements in most detection systems, including biosensing platforms. Their potential is undoubtedly vast, yet many issues regarding their full exploitation remain unsolved. On the other hand, the biosensor formats with the higher marketability probabilities are enzyme in nature and electrochemical in concept. To no surprise, alternative materials for hosting c...

The research project Smart Ski Goggles investigated how to enhance visitor experience while skiing on a mountain by delivering real-time information and a navigation system using state-of-the-art data ski goggles (Oakley Airwave). Information about lifts, slopes, weather, hospitality, social media and even navigation (e.g. to huts and lifts) were integrated into a single application allowing us...

water quality (e.g. low dissolved oxygen; Brunson et al., 1994), interfering with feeding in bivalves (Aureococcus anophagefferens, Tracey, 1988), mechanical injury (Chaetoceros spp., Bruno et al. 1989) and marketability losses due to off-flavors (Tucker, 2000), or toxicity. Toxic algae result in major losses in aquaculture causing mortality in finfish and shellfish operations as a consequence ...
