biosensors are classes of sensors in which at least a biological process is used in sensing procedure. they are generally composed of three parts: a sensing element, a transducer, and a signal processor (or detector). they can be categorized by type of sensing materials or by detection techniques. from their invention time up to now, various biological species have been analyzed using variety o...

background besides the great importance of the issue in terms of public health, there is a lack of studies evaluating the performance of several of the currently used point of care tests (pocts) for the detection of anti-hcv. objectives to investigate the performance of two pocts for anti-hcv detection and to assess the impact of the reading time on diagnostic performance. patients and methods ...

the main purpose of this paper is to obtain sufficient conditions for existence of points of coincidence and common fixed points for three self mappings in $b$-metric spaces. next, we obtain cone $b$-metric version of these results by using a scalarization function. our results extend and generalize several well known comparable results in the existing literature.

this paper presents some results concerning the existence of solutions for a functional integral equation of volterra type in two variables, via measure of noncompactness. two examples are included to illustrate the main result.

rational knowledge-claims, consisting of theoretical propositions expressing a judgment about complex urban problems, are not new. the audiences, i.e. the public whose lives are affected by such claims, have begun to question the claims of rationality in urban planning. in response, each urban planner, believing in a particular theory or point of reference, endeavors to challenge competing theo...
