This paper is a comprehensive study dealing with the parameters that influence the response of a resistive soot sensor which was developed for Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) failure detection in a past project. From the conductance measurement between two Pt electrodes, and a regeneration strategy, this kind of sensor can provide the weight concentration of particulate matter (PM). In this stu...

a poly(vinyl chloride) membrane based on a new a-dioxime derivative as membrane carrier was prepared andinvestigated as a cr(iii) selective electrode. the electrode exhibits a good potentiometric response for cr(iii)over a wide concentration range 1.0 x 10-6 to 1.0 x 10-1 m with a slope 19.5+0.5 mv/decade and low detectionlimit of 8.9 x 10-7 m. it has a fast response time < 15 s. the best perfo...

sybil attacks pose a serious threat for wireless sensor networks (wsn) security. they can create problems in routing, voting schemes, decision making, distributed storage and sensor re-programming. in a sybil attack,the attacker masquerades as multiple sensor identities, that are actually controlled by one or a few existing attacker nodes. sybil identities are fabricated out of stolen keys, obt...

urease was immobilized on platinum electrode both by chemical binding and electropolymerization.the conductometric urea biosensor thus prepared showed a detection limit of 4.9×10-5 m and linear dynamic range from 4.9×10-5 to 5.8×10-3 m for urea concentration when the enzyme is covalently immobilized on pt electrodes. conductometric transducers respond to the changes in ionic strength thereby le...
