Monitoring the content of dissolved ozone in purified water is often mandatory to ensure appropriate levels disinfection and sanitization. However, quantification bears challenges as colorimetric assays require laborious off-line analysis, while commercially available instruments for electrochemical process analysis are expensive lack possibility miniaturization discretionary installation. In t...

The purpose of this article is modal analysis of ionic polymer metal composite beams, then briefing the system to the unique parameters to help in up modeling of the actuator. In this paper at first using of Mathematical analysis and Closed form transfer function of cantilever beam dynamic response to the forces of different inputs (intensive and continuous) is calculated and for different type...

The Editor’s challenge to develop an EAP robotic hand that can win against a human in an arm wrestling match is continuing to be a distant possibility. However, as can be seen from this 3rd issue of the WW-EAP Newsletter, there has been a significant progress in the field of EAP towards making practical actuators. A growing number of organizations are now exploring potential applications for EA...

BACKGROUND Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a rare tumor that originates in the pancreatic duct. The diagnosis of benign, borderline or malignant to IPMN is significant in terms of making an appropriate treatment plan and prognosis. This article summarizes our clinical experience of a case report and discussion by literature review. Methods and case report: A 73 year old male p...

Epigenetic modifications play an important role during carcinogenesis. The main goal of this study was to examine expression levels of two critical enzymes, DNA methyltransferase-1 (DNMT1) and histone deacetylase-1 (HDAC1), by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in human pancreatic cancer and precancerous lesions: 20 foci containing normal ductal epithelial cells without an inflammatory back-ground (DE)...

Abstract Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) consist of an electroactive polymeric membrane, which is plated with electrodes and includes a fluid phase ions in solvent, whose diffusion allows for actuation sensing applications. We build on previous finite-deformation theory our group that accounts the cross-diffusion solvent couples mass balances these species stress balance Gauss law. Here,...
