Download or read book Oxidation and Reduction Processes in Vivo and in Vitro written by Yan Kazakov and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a novel approach to comprehending and assessing oxidative stress and antioxidant activity as fundamental components in both health and disease. It explores the advantages and peculiarities of innovative electrochemical methods for estimating and monitoring these processes. Recognizing the electrochemical nature of oxidative stress, the book advocates for electrochemical methods as the preferred means of determination. A central focus of the book is the presentation of a new electrochemical method for evaluating oxidative stress and antioxidant activity: potentiometric determination. The book presents results of antioxidant activity analyses for both healthy individuals and patients with diverse pathologies. Additionally, the book discusses the prospective advantages of employing potentiometry as a monitoring tool in areas such as diet, sports, and wellness. Further considerations extend to the future applications of oxidative stress monitoring, encompassing wearable devices, sensors, non-invasive assessments, and telemedicine. In short, this book establishes the method's credibility as a diagnostic criterion for studying oxidative stress across laboratory settings, bedside applications, and everyday life.

Download or read book Nanotechnology Based E Noses written by Ram K. Gupta and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology-based E-Noses reviews advances in nanomaterials and their modification for use in e-sensors. "E-noses" or "electronic sensors" are emerging as advanced technologies for the fast detection of chemicals, gases, and explosives. The concept behind the "e-nose" is similar to the capability of humans and dogs in detecting materials based on odors. Nanomaterials can be used for e-nose technologies but their properties must be modified to make them effective sensors. The sensing capability and performance of these materials depend on several factors, such as morphology, dopants, microadditives, design of sensors, phase, and structure of the nanomaterials. Theoretical understanding of nanomaterials and technologies for improving sensors with better detection limits are covered. The most relevant nanomaterials, their synthesis strategies, and the relationship between properties and device performance are provided. Current state-of-the-art progress in nanotechnology device fabrication along with directions for future applications and challenges are discussed. - Covers fundamentals of nanomaterials for electronic sensing applications, including material synthesis and property optimization strategies to improve material performance - Reviews emerging relevant nanomaterials including 1D, 2D and 3D nanomaterials for use in e-nose technologies - Discusses nanotechnology-based e-noses and their wide range of applications in the detection of chemicals, gases, explosives, and more

Download or read book IoT based Intelligent Modelling for Environmental and Ecological Engineering written by Paul Krause and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings to readers thirteen chapters with contributions to the benefits of using IoT and Cloud Computing to agro-ecosystems from a multi-disciplinary perspective. IoT and Cloud systems have prompted the development of a Cloud digital ecosystem referred to as Cloud-to-thing continuum computing. The key success of IoT computing and the Cloud digital ecosystem is that IoT can be integrated seamlessly with the physical environment and therefore has the potential to leverage innovative services in agro-ecosystems. Areas such as ecological monitoring, agriculture, and biodiversity constitute a large area of potential application of IoT and Cloud technologies. In contrast to traditional agriculture systems that have employed aggressive policies to increase productivity, new agro-ecosystems aim to increase productivity but also achieve efficiency and competitiveness in modern sustainable agriculture and contribute, more broadly, to the green economy and sustainable food-chain industry. Fundamental research as well as concrete applications from various real-life scenarios, such as smart farming, precision agriculture, green agriculture, sustainable livestock and sow farming, climate threat, and societal and environmental impacts, is presented. Research issues and challenges are also discussed towards envisioning efficient and scalable solutions to agro-ecosystems based on IoT and Cloud technologies. Our fundamental belief is that we can collectively trigger a new revolution that will transition agriculture into an equable system that not only feeds the world, but also contributes to mitigating the climate change and biodiversity crises that our historical actions have triggered.

Download or read book Handbook of Modern Sensors written by Jacob Fraden and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-29 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven years have passed since the publication of the previous edition of this book. During that time, sensor technologies have made a remarkable leap forward. The sensitivity of the sensors became higher, the dimensions became smaller, the sel- tivity became better, and the prices became lower. What have not changed are the fundamental principles of the sensor design. They are still governed by the laws of Nature. Arguably one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived, Leonardo Da Vinci, had his own peculiar way of praying. He was saying, “Oh Lord, thanks for Thou do not violate your own laws. ” It is comforting indeed that the laws of Nature do not change as time goes by; it is just our appreciation of them that is being re?ned. Thus, this new edition examines the same good old laws of Nature that are employed in the designs of various sensors. This has not changed much since the previous edition. Yet, the sections that describe the practical designs are revised substantially. Recent ideas and developments have been added, and less important and nonessential designs were dropped. Probably the most dramatic recent progress in the sensor technologies relates to wide use of MEMS and MEOMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems and micro-electro-opto-mechanical systems). These are examined in this new edition with greater detail. This book is about devices commonly called sensors. The invention of a - croprocessor has brought highly sophisticated instruments into our everyday lives.
