Diffusion of macromolecules through nanopores of comparable sizes is affected by an interaction between the particle and the confining entities including both hydrodynamic and electrostatic interactions. The particle-pore hydrodynamic interaction causes an increase in the drag force exerted on the particle, resulting in the reduction of its diffusivity. If the particle is charged and submerged...
The point of care (POC) blood group typing has been developed for conveniently and immediately tests by polymeric strip test. Poly (methyl methacrylate (PMMA)) substrate was chosen and then designed the functional group layer to establish whether person is A, B, AB, or O blood type by naked eye. The substrate was modified by chemical bonding via carboxyl-methyl dextran to immobilize ABO...
Pinning phenomena emerge in many dynamical systems. They are found to stabilize extreme conditions such as superconductivity and superfluidity. In cardiology, lengthened tachycardia correspond to propagating action potential in forms of spiral waves pinned to anatomical obstacles including veins and scares. Thus, elimination such waves is important particularly in medical treatments. We...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a crucial tool in the detection of cardiac arrhythmia. It is also often used in a routine physical exam, especially, for elderly people. This graphical representation of electrical activity of heart is obtained by a measurement of voltage at the skin so that the signal is always contaminated by noise from various sources. For a proper interpretation, the quality of...
Development of pesticide sensor based on the ion sensitive field effect transistor (ISFET) was investigated by using acetylcholinesterase which is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine to acetate and choline. The ISFET can measure the inhibition reaction of acetylcholinesterase enzyme by the carbaryl pesticide through the pH changed in solution. The acetylcholinesterase was...
We investigate the harvesting of microalgae, living in a culture fluid, by an application of constant electrical current via planar electrodes are made from different materials: aluminum, stainless steel, and graphite. All of these electrodes produce similar fine sub-millimeter bubbles which can levitate the microalgae to the top surface. Unlike graphite, metal sheets are cheap and convenient...
