Optimal selective stimulation of nerve with endoneurally (intrafascicularly) inserted multi-microelectrodes means that each electrode activates, with its own threshold stimulation current, as few distinct motoneurons as possible, preferibly only one. If the latter is the case, the efficiency of a multi electrode is 100%. However, neighbouring electrodes may control the same motor fiber(s), as t...

graphene modified glassy carbon electrodes have been developed for the determination of calcium dobesilate in pharmaceutical formulations. the prepared graphene and cnts were used as a conductive substrate for electrochemical study of calcium dobesilate. the direct electrochemistry of calcium dobesilate showed a reversible cyclic voltammogram with a formal potential of 133 mv (vs. ag/agcl) for ...

The electrochemical oxidation behavior of m-nitrophenol (m-NP) was studied comparatively on glassy carbon electrode, Pt electrode, PbO2 electrode, SnO2 electrode, and graphite electrode using cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed in acidic (1 M H2SO4, pH 0.4), neutral (1 M Na2SO4, pH 6.8), and...

HNO3-modified activated carbon was used to make electrodes for single-pass capacitive deionization removing F- from drinking water. The optimal operating conditions F¯ removal were studied, and the performance, cycle stability, charge efficiency of electrode investigated. Based on these results, an optimization scheme proposed practical applications. After HNO3 modification, proportion micropor...

In the present study, we investigate the potentiometric behavior of Cu2+ carbon paste electrodes based on two mercapto compounds 2-Ethylmino-5-Mercapto-1,3,4-Thiadiazole (EAMT) and 2-Acetylamino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AAMT) self-assembled on gold nano-paricle (GNP) as ionophore. Then, the results obtained from the modified electrodes are compared. The self-assembled ionophores exhibit a ...

in this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. for this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (swcnt) were inserted in the reaction layer. the performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...

Histological studies have shown that the Melbourne/Cochlear electrode array lies along the outer wall of the scala tympani and is therefore some distance from the residual VIIIth nerve elements. In order to investigate the influence of electrode position on neural excitation we systematically varied the position of the electrode array within the cat scala tympani while recording electrically ev...

The separation and subsequent isolation of the metastatic human cervical carcinoma cell line (HeLa cells) from normal human peripheral blood cells has been achieved by exploiting their differential dielectric properties. The isolation process is carried out on a silicon chip containing a five-by-five array of microlocations. These microlocations contain underlying circular platinum electrodes w...

The suitability of polysilicon as a material for the fabrication of interdigitated electrodes and their application to the development of sensors is studied in this work. The main interest in using this material lies in the possibility of obtaining integrated sensors with commercial CMOS technologies and simple post-processing steps. Electrodes with 3μm finger width and 3, 10, and 20μm spacing ...
