Soft magnetic films with a wide-range tunable ferromagnetic resonance frequency are suitable for miniaturization and multifunctionalization of microwave integrated circuits. Fabrication of these films for high-frequency applications is usually complicated and difficult. We demonstrate a simple method to fabricate patterned FeNi soft magnetic strip films by magnetron sputtering and photolithogra...

A rapid, simple, and sensitive immunochromatographic test strip has been developed for testing residues of ciprofloxacin (CIP). A specific and sensitive monoclonal antibody (mAb) for CIP was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with well-characterized CIP-Keyhole limpet haemocyanin. Under the optimized conditions, the cut-off limits of test strips for CIP were found to be 5 ng/mL in phosphate-bu...

Manuscript Received 4-June-2012 and revised 18-September-2012 ISSN: 2322-3936 Accepted on 1December-2012 Abstract—This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN rang...

Nucleic acid lateral flow (NALF) test strip is currently a promising method in biomedical applications for point-of-care diagnostic tests. Generally, biotin-labelled probe is commonly used in making the test lines and control lines, and the entire processes require long periods of incubation time with the probe and streptavidin. In this study, we use non-labelled oligonucleotides that have been...

A solid-phase reagent for determination of urinary specific gravity (relative density) is described. This reagent strip, similar to others in the "N-Multistix" series (Ames), contains a polyacid whose acidity is sensitive to the ionic concentration in the urine in which it is immersed. As the acidity of the polyacid changes, pH changes are detected by a pH indicator within the reagent strip. In...

Looper and tension control is important in hot strip mills because it affects the strip quality as well as strip threading. Moreover, the most difficult challange in the controller design and control performance comes from the interaction between looper angle and strip tension. Disturbances from several sources also cause a deterioration in control performance, and thus they should be rejected ...

We have developed a dry reagent strip system for measuring lactate in whole blood. The test strip contains lactate oxidase (no EC number assigned), horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7), and N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-m-toluidine. The system is designed to measure with a reflectometer the color that developed in the test strip, although the lactate concentration can be estimated without...

Computing an arrangement of segments with some geometrical and topological guarantees is a critical step in many geometry processing applications. In this paper, we propose method to efficiently compute arrangements using strip-based data structure. Thanks new structure, the computation algorithm can easily be parallelized as per strip computations are independent. Another interest our approach...

determination of the deformation length is one of the first steps in roll forming design. roll forming industries are very interested in explicit simple relationsfor prediction the deformation length without using trail-and-error methods at workshop or time consuming finite element simulations. in this paper, elastic properties and work-hardening behaviour of the strip are considered in additio...

Strip format maps constitute a unique, but often overlooked form of cartographic representation. The purpose of this paper is to combine a historical overview of cartographic applications of the strip format with an evaluation of current implications of continued use of this technique. In addressing these goals, four factors that relate to use or selection of strip maps a t various points in hi...
