Prospects of Nanotechnology in Clinical Immunodiagnostics

Nanostructured materials are promising compounds that offer new opportunities as sensing platforms for the detection of biomolecules. Having micrometer-scale length and nanometer-scale diameters, nanomaterials can be manipulated with current nanofabrication methods, as well as self-assembly techniques, to fabricate nanoscale bio-sensing devices. Nanostructured materials possess extraordinary ph...

Improving logic-based testing

Logic-based testers design tests from logical expressions that appear in software artifacts such as source code, design models, and requirements specifications. This paper presents three improvements to logic-based test design. First, in the context of mutation testing, we present fault hierarchies for the six relational operators. Applying the ROR mutation operator causes each relational opera...

Outstanding Challenges in Testing Nanotechnology Based Integrated Circuits

Before we list the outstanding challenges, meaning what remains to be done, we need to ask the following questions: 1) What has changed to require this rethinking? 2) What solutions are still applicable in today’s environment? and 3) What is likely to happen in the future? The answer to the first and the third questions is that the technology is changing (shrinking dimensions) at a very fast ra...

Political incentives towards replacing animal testing in nanotechnology?

The Treaty of Lisbon requests the European Union and the Member States to pay full regard to animal welfare issues when implementing new policies. The present article discusses how these provisions are met in the emerging area of nanotechnology. Political action plans in Europe take into account animal welfare issues to some extent. Funding programmes promote the development of non-animal test ...
