This paper aims to propose a novel placing method, i.e., place-between-paste-and-pad (PB), for mini-scale passive components enhance electronic assembly lines’ yield. PB means component is designed be placed at the midpoint between pastes and pads on length direction while it aligns with pads’ center width direction. An experiment that involves 12 printed circuit boards (PCB) 4500 resistors R04...

In the present paper, the use of a novel carbon paste electrode modified by 7,8-dihydroxy-3,3,6-trimethyl-3,4-dihydrodibenzo[b,d]furan-1(2H)-one (DTD) and oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OCNTs) is described for determination of levodopa (LD), acetaminophen (AC) and tryptophan (Trp) by a simple and rapid method. At first, the electrochemical behavior of DTD is studied, then, the mediated...

Steingrimsson and Luce (2003a) outlined the second author’s proposed psychophysical theory (Luce, 2002, 2003a,b) and tested behavioral attributes that, separately, gave rise to one psychophysical function, Ψ, that maps pairs of physical intensities onto the positive real numbers that represents subjective summation and a second one, Ψ∗,that represents a form of ratio production. This article ta...

The electrochemical behavior of a modified carbon paste electrode (MCPE) with N,N′ethylenbis(salicylideneiminato)copper(II) complex ([Cu(II)-Salen]) was investigated as a newsensor for cystein. The Britton-Robinson buffer with pH 5, 10% modifier in electrode, potentialscanning rate of 20 mVs-1 and puls height of 50 mV were used as the optimum condition for thedetermination of cysteine using car...

a chemically modified carbon paste electrode with multiwall carbon nanotube (mwcnt) was prepared and used as a sensor for cu2+ ion. the unique chemical and physical properties of cnt have paved the way  to  new  and  improved  sensing  devices.  a  central  composite chemometrics  design  was  applied  for  multivariate  optimization  of the  effects  of  three  significant  parameters  (graphi...

The electrochemistry of banana tissues on a carbon paste electrode modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is presented. Cyclic voltammetry is applied to investigate the direct electrochemistry of banana tissues i.e. a source of polyphenol oxidase (PPO). A redox couple with an anodic and counterpart cathodic peak is obtained. The influence of various parameters such as pH,...

A recently constructed polyglycine modified carbon paste electrode (PGMCPE) was employed to evaluate the electrochemical behavior of methyl orange (MO). The developed electrode was characterized by FESEM to understand the morphology of the modified electrode and bare carbon paste electrode (BCPE). The modified electrode exhibits an excellent electrochemical activity towards the oxidation of MO....

The main known benefit of calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament lies in the bactericidal effect conferred by its pH. The objective of this work was to determine the influence of the vehicle on the pH of calcium hydroxide pastes after usage in patients and in vitro. The incisor root canals of 180 patients were instrumented and filled with calcium hydroxide pastes containing distilled wat...

Grating-based X-ray dark-field tomography is a promising technique for biomedical and materials research. Even if the resolution of conventional X-ray tomography does not suffice to resolve relevant structures, the dark-field signal provides valuable information about the sub-pixel microstructural properties of the sample. Here, we report on the potential of X-ray dark-field imaging to be used ...
