The influence of nanoparticle aggregation on anodic stripping voltammetry is reported. Dopamine-capped silver nanoparticles were chosen as a model system, and melamine was used to induce aggregation in the nanoparticles. Through the anodic stripping of the silver nanoparticles that were aggregated to different extents, it was found that the peak area of the oxidative signal corresponding to the...

INTRODUCTION Orthopaedic fracture fixation plates are applied using metal bone screws. Surgeons do this manually by “feel” without monitoring the torque applied. Few studies have measured the stripping torque of bone screws in human bone [1-3]. No studies have measured stripping torque in the synthetic bones increasingly being used in biomechanical studies. The present aim was to measure stripp...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this randomized study was to compare the efficacy of the CHIVA method for the treatment of varicose veins with respect to the standard treatment of stripping. CONTEXT Varicose veins are a sign of chronic venous disorder. For over a century, varicose veins have been treated with surgical ablative techniques, with stripping being the standard treatment. Currently, pos...

− This paper introduces a novel electrochemical detection method for measuring the formation of an immunological complex. The described electrochemical immunoassay consists of several consecutive steps. First the sample is mixed with silver colloid and magnetic particles both previously conjugated to appropriate antibodies. The analyte from the sample binds to both silver and magnetic beads for...

Anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) with rotating glassy carbon electrode (RGCE) and microfiber carbon electrode (μFCE), both filmed with mercury, were used to determine copper content in wine. Influence of phenolics on in situ mercury film formation was studied. Wine and quercetin were added gradually into solution of Hg(II) in acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH = 4.60). Reduction of Hg(II) ...

15 The electroanalytical technique Absence of Gradients and Nernstian Equilibrium 16 Stripping (AGNES) has been extended by applying stripping chronopotentiometry 17 (SCP) as the reoxidation stage in the determination of the free concentration of Zn 2+ , 18 Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ . This new approach, called AGNES-SCP, has been implemented with 19 screen-printed electrodes (SPE) and the standard Hangin...

Air-stripping method was used to remove ammonia from the wastewater collected from natural gas fertilizer factory. Different materials were used as packing materials for the air stripping system. The effect of pH over 10.5, air-water flow ratio, nature of packing materials, height of materials and initial influent concentration of ammonia on air stripping unit were investigated. An attempt has ...

Ants algorithm is a universal and flexible solution which was first designed for solving optimization problem such as Traveling Salesman Problem. Analogy between finding the shortest way by ants and finding documents most alike, became a stimulus of ant based text document clustering method. This method consist of two phases, which are finding documents most alike (trial phase) and clusters mak...

In this work $\textit{n}$-transfer and incomplete fusion cross sections for $^{9}$Be + $^{197}$Au system are reported over a wide energy range, E$_{c.m.}$ $\approx$ 29-45 MeV. The experiment was carried out using activation technique off-line gamma counting. transfer process is found to be the dominant mode as compared all other reaction channels. Detailed coupled channel (CRC) calculations hav...
