Three recent television and film adaptations testify to the continuing popularity of Arthur Conan Doyle’s consulting detective Sherlock Holmes. The fast-paced novella that introduces detective duo Holmes and Watson, A Study ...

This Master’s thesis investigates the applicability of non-traditional substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and surface-enhanced fluorescence. The use of silicon wafer for sandwich SERS immunoassay and ...

State estimation of dynamic systems plays a key role in monitoring and controlling such systems. State estimates are used for health status check in order to maintain safe operations of systems and processes. Also, it is ...

This article proposes an approach to compare semantic networks using conceptcentered sub-networks. A concept-centered sub-network is defned as an induced network whose vertex set consists of the given concept (ego) and ...

Abstract This paper proposes an approximate explicit model predictive control design approach for regulating linear time-invariant systems subject to both state and control constraints. The proposed control law is implemented ...

Biosensors are playing an important role in shaping the world of medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and environmental monitoring; they have transformed the way by which qualitative and quantitative determination of ...

This work presents experimental results on detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis secreted protein MPT64 using an interdigitated electrode (IDE) which acts as a platform for capturing an immunogenic protein and an ...

Abstract Dose-response modeling is one of the most important steps of ecological risk assessment. It requires concentration-effects relationships for the species under consideration. There are very limited studies and ...

Proteins from the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family, such as PARP1 and PARP2, use NAD+ as a substrate to catalyze the synthesis of polymeric chains consisting of ADP-ribose units covalently attached to an acceptor ...

A (3+1)-dimensional asymptotically at Kerr black hole angular speed + can be used to de ne an e ective spring constant, k = m2 +. Its maximum value is the Schwarzschild surface gravity, k = , which rapidly weakens as ...
