Micro and nano-platforms for biological cell analysis

response articles: micro and macro analysis

the present study reports an analysis of response articles in four different disciplines in the social sciences, i.e., linguistics, english for specific purposes (esp), accounting, and psychology. the study has three phases: micro analysis, macro analysis, and e-mail interview. the results of the micro analysis indicate that a three-level linguistic pattern is used by the writers in order to cr...

Micro- and nano-electromechanical systems for [bio]molecular analysis

[Bio]chemical sensors, defined as devices which convert a chemical state into an electrical signal [1], have been the subject of a strong development during the past few decades. A sensor has essentially two parts (Fig. 1): a detecting element, in which the presence of an external stimulus produces a change of some property (optical, mechanical, electrical ...), and a transducing element, which...

The Nano–Micro Interface: Bridging Micro and Nano Worlds

By its very title, Nano-Micro Interface: Bridging Micro and Nano Worlds is a timely book for the field of nanotechnology. Since researchers can make microscale objects nanoscale (the top-down approach) as well as atomic and molecular species nanoscale (the bottom-up approach) are there applications in nanoscience and technology that can benefit, or be revolutionized, by combining both approache...
