Method for producing high-density bentonite pellets using dry shrinkage

Photoresist functionalisation method for high-density protein microarrays using photolithography

Since the last decade, there is a growing need for patterned biomolecules for various applications ranging from diagnostic devices to enabling fundamental biological studies with high throughput. Protein arrays facilitate the study of protein–protein, protein–drug or protein–DNA interactions as well as highly multiplexed immunosensors based on antibody–antigen recognition. Protein microarrays a...

Diffusion-based method for producing density-equalizing maps

Map makers have for many years searched for a way to construct cartograms, maps in which the sizes of geographic regions such as countries or provinces appear in proportion to their population or some other analogous property. Such maps are invaluable for the representation of census results, election returns, disease incidence, and many other kinds of human data. Unfortunately, to scale region...

High Performance Method for Skin Roughness Detection Using Raman Spectroscopy

Improved Floodplain Delineation Method Using High-Density LiDAR Data

With the improvements in sensor technologies over the past decade, there has been a significant decrease in the cost of acquisition and increase in the density and accuracy of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Due to its advantages over traditional surveying techniques, LiDAR data are widely preferred for floodplain delineation. But, processing dense LiDAR data is time-consuming and mem...

Selection of the Best Efficient Method for Natural Gas Storage at High Capacities Using TOPSIS Method

Nowadays one of the most important energy sources is natural gas. By depletion of oil reservoirs in the world, natural gas will emerge as the future energy source for human life. One of the major concerns of gas suppliers is being able to supply this source of energy the entire year. This concern intensifies during more consuming seasons of the year when the demand for natural gas increases, r...
