Innovative Multi-Mode Vapor Thermal Desorption Devices
Use of thermal desorption techniques is an established method for environmental and industrial hygiene studies of noxious vapors and their effects on health. Utility of the thermal desorption technique, however, has been hampered by rudimentary [...]
An Investigation into the Effectiveness of Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma for the Transformation of Linear Siloxanes from Gas to Solid Phase
Tahiyat M.M., Heagen L., Hill J., Guyton B., Farouk T.I., Hoque S., University of South Carolina, US
Atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge plasma operating in tetramethyltrisiloxane (L3)-helium gas mixture was studied as a prospective method for the reformation of the organosilicon compounds in the carrier stream. L3 belongs to a family of [...]
Exploring Bacterial Interactions of Expanded-PTFE in the Presence of PVP-coated Silver Nanoparticles, Peptides p753 and p359 in 2D and 3D models
Tissue engineering is recognized as an avenue to improve treatment for various diseases. Expanded-PTFE (ePTFE) has gained popularity as a tissue scaffold to develop a vascular graft for generating blood vessels in cardiac surgeries. However, [...]
Focused Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive technique used to regulate the synaptic activity of neurons, improving the functionality of several regions and bringing effective treatment to neurological and psychiatric disorders applying external time-varying magnetic fields [...]
Gelation Behavior Study of Thermogelling Poly(ε-Caprolactone-co-1, 4, 8-Trioxa[4, 6]Spiro-9- Undecanone)-Poly(Ethylene Glycol)-Poly(ε-Caprolactone-co-1, 4, 8- Trioxa[4, 6]Spiro-9-Undecanone)
Zhong S., Wang X-Y, Wang Z.F., Zhuang T.T., Chen T.Y., Wang X-Y, Wang Z.F., ABB US Corporate Research Center, US
PEG-PCT) has been successfully synthesized via ring opening polymerization. By adjusting initial monomer feeding ratio, TOSUO molar content in the hydrophobic block increases from 0% to 20% while the repeat units of the blocks remain [...]
Roboplasmid: A remotely programmable plasmid for rapid viral inactivation
For eons, humankind has been plagued by viral infections that have decimated populations; we lack a system that can simply inactivate any virus at will. Here we describe a model for a non-nucleotide-based, robotic plasmid [...]
Kidney Cancer Staging using Deep Learning Neural Network: Comparing Models Trained on Whole Kidney with Cancer and Only the Cancer
In kidney cancer, Stage 1 is an important threshold for the decision of organ preservation surgery versus chemotherapy and organ removal for higher stages. The purpose of this study is to compare the classification accuracy [...]
Fast COVID-19 diagnosis with deep learning and chest X-rays: from toy datasets to clinical applications
Accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 infection is a crucial tool to identify and control the spread of the disease. Current frontline technology, based on Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), can depend on getting an adequate [...]
The Coupling of COVID-19 Respiratory Droplet Adsorption and Photocatalysis through Metal Organic Frameworks
Ozdemir R., Ornstein J., Boehme A., Nouar F., Serre C., Ackerman D., Herrera V., Santarpia J., framergy, Inc, US
As the world recovers from the lockdown imposed by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) pandemic, returning to shared indoor spaces is still considered risky. It is now clear that transmission of [...]
Establishing rubber dandelions and guayule in the United States via premium markets to secure essential supplies
Cornish. J. Cardina K., Fresnedo J., Michel_Jr. F.C., Cornish. J. Cardina K., Fresnedo J., Michel_Jr. F.C., The Ohio State University, US
Natural rubber and latex are imported, critical, agricultural raw materials essential to all sectors of the US economy and cannot be replaced by unsustainable petroleum-derived synthetic rubbers due to their performance deficiencies. National security is [...]
So, You’ve Set Sustainability Goals, Now What? The Growing While Shrinking Paradox
Climate change has emerged as the world’s greatest challenge,and pressure is coming from multiple angles for companies to reduce their carbon impact. The integrity of today’s brands is on the line, leaving businesses with the [...]
HTL Derived Biochar for Supercapacitor Electrodes
Huynh K., Maddipudi B.K., Amar V.S., Houck J.D., Shende R.V., South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, US
In this study, biochar samples were prepared by conversion of biomass feedstock (corn stover) via catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and later used as electrode material in conjunction with sol-gel derived perovskite based mixed (Mn,Ti)-oxides (Mn:Ti [...]
Flexible Microfluidics-Integrated Organic Transistor as Biofeedback for Advanced Wound Healing
This paper will discuss how incorporating a biofeedback sensor into an electrical stimulation bandage used on chronic ulcers will improve the healing process. Current wound healing devices, and specifically wearable ones, are an open loop [...]
