This book was released on 2005-08-19 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing the population of the Earth with safe drinking water is one of the biggest challenges of modern society. In recognition of this problem the United Nations Organization and UNESCO declared 2003 to be the International Year of Freshwater. On November 19-22, 2003, the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on “Modern Tools and Methods of Water Treatment for Improving Living Standards” took place in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Thirty-one participants from 15 countries including Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, UK, Ukraine, USA, and Uzbekistan attended the meeting. They discussed the scientific concepts and practical means for the solution of the complex social, economic and ecological problems associated with water purification, consumption, conservation, and protection. They also established a network of scientists and specialists to foster further collaboration and the exchange of ideas. The location of the ARW was chosen quite deliberately. The city of Dnepropetrovsk is located on the banks of the Dnieper River and it has a population of about 1. 3 million people. As it is one of the largest industrial centers, it shares all the environmental problems, which are found in the modern Ukraine. In 2001, one in seven of the water samples taken from Ukrainian industrial and drinking water supply systems did not meet sanitary-hygienic standards, and one in twelve did not meet microbiological standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The completion of the first draft of the human genome has led to an explosion of interest in genetics and molecular biology. The view of the genome as a network of interacting computational components is well-established, but researchers are now trying to reverse the analogy, by using living organisms to construct logic circuits. The potential applications for such technologies is huge, ranging from bio-sensors, through industrial applications to drug delivery and diagnostics. This book would be the first to deal with the implementation of this technology, describing several working experimental demonstrations using cells as components of logic circuits, building toward computers incorporating biological components in their functioning.

Download or read book A Low Power CMOS Microluminometer and Transmitter for Bioluminescent Bioreporter Integrated Circuit BBIC written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a study of the design of a low power CMOS microluminometer and transmitter for bioluminescent bioreporter integrated circuit (BBIC).A BBIC sensor chip with lower consumption was fabricated in the 0.35æm CMOS process. This design was an improvement over a previous BBIC [1]. The previous BBIC was designed using a different CMOS process (0.5æm) and a different CAD tool (Magic). This thesis work involves redesign of the chip in 0.35æm CMOS process using Cadence design tool with improvement for power dissipation. Larger resisters are used instead of several small resisters, which were placed between power supply and ground and consumed too much power in the previous chip [1]. Also, the bias currents for several amplifiers were reduced to decrease the power consumption even further. The chip was tested under normal light condition and it was verified that the device implemented the basic functions of a sensor. The power consumption has been reduced to 3.5% of the previous chip [1], which is not because of the feature size change. Some test results of the photodiode and signal processing circuit are given. The transmitter system was designed using CAD tools Cadence following previous work [2]. The power amplifier was added to the transmitter to give larger signal out of the circuit. The simulation was run in Cadence. Appendixes show all the net list files for the sensor chip and transmitter circuit.
