the importance of nanotechnology in medical technologies, especially biomedical diagnostics, is indubitable. by taking advantages of nanomaterials, many medical diagnostics methods have been developed so far, including electrochemical nanobiosensors. they have been used for quantification of different clinical biomarkers for detecting, screening, or follow up a disease. micrornas (mirnas) are o...

The work presents the results of the studies of Co-Cr-Mo casting alloys used in the production of frame casts of removable dentures, crowns and bridges in dental prosthetics. The studies were performed on four Co-Cr-Mo alloys of different contents of Mo, W and other additives. Electrochemical tests were performed, which aimed at examining the corrosion resistance of the alloys and observing the...

We propose a super resolution imaging technique called plasmonic structured illumination microscopy (PSIM), which combines the structured illumination microscopy technique with the tunable surface plasmon interference. Because of the high-resolution enabled by using surface plasmon interference as an illumination source, PSIM possesses higher image resolving power compared with conventional str...

The paper presents influence of mechanical surface damage on corrosion resistance of plates made of Cr-Ni-Mo stainless steel, used in funnel chest treatment. The surface of the steel was electrochemically polished and fitted. The surface damage is induced in the given deformation regions and is a potential reason of corrosion. The corrosion tests were realised by recording of anodic polarizatio...

During endodontic treatment, it is important to create a fluid-tight seal in the access cavity in order to prevent marginal leakage and the ingress of oral fluids and microorganisms into the root canal. Nevertheless, temporary filling materials have received less attention than materials used for a permanent and prolonged use. However, they are an essential link in the chain that leads to disin...

Ti-TiC-TiC/DLC gradient nano-composite films have been prepared on the NiTi substrates by the technique of plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIIID) combining with plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The influence of C2H2 flow rate ranging from 30sccm to 50sccm on the chemical structure, microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of resulting thi...

The dynamic characteristics of power batteries directly affect the performance of electric vehicles, and the mathematical model is the basis for the design of a battery management system (BMS).Based on the electrode-averaged model of a lithium-ion battery, in view of the solid phase lithium-ion diffusion equation, the electrochemical model is simplified through the finite difference method. By ...

The simultaneous detection of substances present in drugs of abuse is increasingly important since some materials are known for their high mortality rate. One drug that received considerable attention is paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA), commonly known as ‘Dr Death’ – this substance is linked with several deaths internationally and can often be found together with 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine ...
