Methods routinely utilized for detection of phenylalanine in new-born blood consist of enzymatic assays, lacking sensitivity and HPLC assays which are expensive and time-consuming to conduct. We, here, report for the first time, the construction of a phenylalanine sensitive electrode, on the basis of a selective molecularly imprinted polymer, offering sensitivity, economy and ease of use for th...

This paper gives a comprehensive review about the most recent progress in graphene and graphene oxide based electrochemical sensors and biosensors.  Graphene, emerging as a true 2-dimensional material, has received increasing attention due to its unique physicochemical properties (high surface area, excellent conductivity, high mechanical strength, and ease of functionalization and mass product...

A considerable amount of large scale heat pumps working mainly with Rl2 but also partially with Rll4 has been installed in Germany in the past. -As considerable investments have been made, a conversion from Rl2 to Rl34a seems to be an important task. Due to this reason a research project has been started at the University of Hannover to evaluate the possibility of such a conversion. To achieve ...

breast cancer is the most important and prevalent cancer in women that can be managed if detected in the early stages. recently, there has been much focus on the use of epigenetic changes such as dna methylation in early detection of cancer. as recent research has put forth dok7 cpg island methylation as an epimarker, in the present study, using a quantification method, a cohort of iranian spor...

Residue Number System (RNS) is a non-weighted number system for integer number arithmetic, which is based on the residues of a number to a certain set of numbers called module set. The main characteristics and advantage of residue number system is reducing carry propagation in calculations. The elimination of carry propagation leads to the possibility of maximizing parallel processing and reduc...

In this text we present a new marking dye, readmission ink, Blak-Ray, for the purpose of insect movement studies. The dye was tested in a controlled experiment with Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in anticipation of a long distance movement study planned for the following year with the same species. 700 individuals of both sexes were marked with the dye and placed in holding...
