Parallel particle impactor – novel size-selective particle sampler for accurate fractioning of inhalable particles
Adverse health effects due to exposure to airborne particles are associated with particle deposition within the human respiratory tract. Particle size, shape, chemical composition, and the individual physiological characteristics of each person determine to what depth inhaled particles may penetrate and deposit within the respiratory tract. Various particle inertial classification devices are a...
متن کاملStochastic Bouncy Particle Sampler
We introduce a stochastic version of the nonreversible, rejection-free Bouncy Particle Sampler (BPS), a Markov process whose sample trajectories are piecewise linear, to efficiently sample Bayesian posteriors in big datasets. We prove that in the BPS no bias is introduced by noisy evaluations of the log-likelihood gradient. On the other hand, we argue that efficiency considerations favor a smal...
متن کاملCombined effects of PEGylation and particle size on uptake of PLGA particles by macrophage cells
Objective:At the present study, relationship between phagocytosis of PLGA particles and combined effects of particle size and surface PEGylation was investigated. Materials and Methods:Microspheres and nanospheres (3500 nm and 700 nm) were prepared from three types of PLGA polymers (non-PEGylated and PEGylation percents of 9% and 15%). These particles were prepared by solvent evaporation metho...
متن کاملPARTICLE SIZE CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOPARTICLES – A PRACTICALAPPROACH
Abstract: Most properties of nanoparticles are size-dependent. In fact, the novel properties of nanoaprticles do not prevail until the size has been reduced to the nanometer scale. The particle size and size distribution of alumina nanoparticle, as a critical properties, have been determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), surface area analysis ...
متن کاملA Novel Size-Selective Airborne Particle Size Fractionating Instrument for Health Risk Evaluation
Health risks associated with the inhalation of airborne particles are known to be influenced by particle size. Studies have shown that certain nanoparticles, with diameters <100 nm, have increased toxicity relative to larger particles of the same substance. A reliable, size-resolving sampler able to collect a wide range of particle sizes, including particles with sizes in the nanometre range, w...
