In wireless sensor networks (WSNs)‎, ‎sensor nodes have limited resources with regard to computation‎, ‎storage‎, ‎communication bandwidth‎, ‎and the most important of all‎, ‎energy supply‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎in many applications of sensor networks‎, ‎we need to send images to a sink node‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎we have to use methods for sending images in which the number and volume of packets are optim...

A multiwall carbon nanotubes-modified carbon paste electrode (MWCNTs/MCPE) wasfabricated and used to study the electrooxidation of penicillamine (PA) by electrochemicalmethods in the presence of methyldopa (MDOP) as a homogeneous mediator. Theelectrochemical oxidation of PA on the new sensor has been carefully studied. The kineticparameters such as electron transfer coefficient, α, and catalyti...

A feasible and fast method to fabricate hydrogen peroxide sensor was investigated by graphene-manganase nanocomposite carbone paste electrode. In the present work, in first step, the graphene was synthesized by chemical method and in second step, manganese oxide nanoparticle was doped on graphene. graphene-manganase nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The nanocomposite shows a high...

This paper presents a mathematical model for the vibration analysis of a three-component piezoelectric force sensor. The cubic theory of weakly nonlinear electroelasticity is applied to the model for describing the electromechanical coupling effect in the piezoelectric sensing elements which operate in thickness-shear and thickness-stretch vibration modes. Hamilton's principle is used to derive...

The development of an optical pH sensor based on immobilization of quinizarin (1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone) on a triacetylcellulose membrane was described. The resulting membrane exhibited fast color change from yellow to violet, while changing the pH in alkaline region. The immobilized quinizarin showed a broader dynamic range from (pH 9.4-11.4) with respect to free form (pH 8.8-10.4). The sens...

The efficient detection of charged biomolecules by biosensor with appropriate semiconducting nanomaterials and with optimum device geometry has caught tremendous research interest in the present decade. Here, the performance of various label-free electronic biosensors to detect bio-molecules is investigated by simulation technique. Silicon nanowire sensor, nanosphere sensor and double gate fiel...

A novel electrochemical sensor was proposed for the determination of amitriptyline based on the copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles modified graphite screen-printed electrode. CuO nanoparticles were used to enhance the surface area of the electrode and then improve the sensitivity of the electrochemical sensor. Amitriptyline electrochemical response characteristics of the modified electrode in a p...

Transmission of blast waves is a complex phenomenon and the characteristics vary with blast design parameters and geo-technical properties of medium. Frequency of vibration and triggering component for structural excitation generally quantifies safe vibration magnitude. At closer distance or higher elevations than the blast locations, vertical or transverse component will be the first arrival t...
