Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important pathogens that cause nosocomial infections. However, microbiological culture techniques take a few days to yield results; therefore, a simple, cost-effective, and rapid detection system is required for screening for MRSA and related bacteria: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) carriers during th...

Although potentiostats are the foundation of modern electrochemical research, they have seen relatively little application in resource poor settings, such as undergraduate laboratory courses and the developing world. One reason for the low penetration of potentiostats is their cost, as even the least expensive commercially available laboratory potentiostats sell for more than one thousand dolla...

This paper reports a methodology for fast analysis of two important antioxidants: tyrosol and oleuropein in real samples of alimentary oils by using a ready-to-use portable microfluidic system (MicruX ® iHVStat) based on microchips electrophoresis with electrochemical detection. The portable system integrates for the first time a high voltage power supply and a bipotentiostat for using microflu...

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) can be applied as a bone implant material. HAp was composited with chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coated to Ti6Al4V improve its biocompatibility. The composite HAp-chitosan-PVA anodized unanodized Ti6Al4V. Modification of the surface by anodizing done using 20 V voltage. metal alloy electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method voltage 80 V. composites in nanotubes non-nano...

In this article, an on-line impedance measurement technique for a battery pack is demonstrated and proofed, using only the already existing sensors accessible bus data in electrified vehicle. A sufficient amount of AC harmonics DC-link current, identification purposes, created normal driving conditions. Fourier analysis used to process extract information. It found that proposed method can accu...

In this study, carbon blacks, containing nitrogen and boron, are used as cathode catalysts first time in a hydrogen-bromine redox flow cell. Nitrogen boron doping has been applied to blacks improve the limited properties of Vulcan XC72 (VXC). Here, we have examined effect nitrogen-/boron-doped black on cell performance. gas boric acid sources post-doping process, respectively. XRD, SEM, XPS, Ra...
