he electrochemical control of oxidation and reduction processes in organic and inorganic systems is an area of extensive research in both academia and industry. Electrochemical techniques are extremely useful in generating interesting species in unusual oxidation states, or for producing reactive intermediates (as, for example in the reductive dimerization of vinyl cyanide in the Monsanto manuf...

The effect degradation in-service and in-laboratory conditions of the low-alloyed steels and aircraft aluminum alloys on its electrochemical conditions has been investigated. It is shown that the structural changes over degradation causes not only material embitterment, but also an activation of anodic and cathode electrode reactions and, correspondingly, a decrease of corrosion resistance. Suc...

Electrochemical microsensors are ideal to measure substances with low concentration in complex environments. The primary excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate is present in many foods as a distinctive flavour (enhancer) with a wide concentration range. In comparison to other methods, electrochemical sensors allow the rapid, precise, cost-effective, online measurement without any sample treatm...

Several neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease have become a serious impediment to aging people nowadays. One of the efficient methods used to monitor these neurological disorders is the detection of neurotransmitters such as dopamine. Metal materials, such as gold and platinum, are widely used in this electrochemical detection method; however, low sensitivit...

This review focuses on recent contributions in the development of the electrochemical sensors based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs have unique mechanical and electronic properties, combined with chemical stability, and behave electrically as a metal or semiconductor, depending on their structure. For sensing applications, CNTs have many advantages such as small size with larger surface area, ...

Electrochemical machining is one of the most effective methods in machining of hard and complex shapes. As a result, it is a very good candidate for inside rifle machining. In this paper the principles and mathematical modelling, the results of computer simulation and experimental investigations of electrochemical rifling tool are presented. From this point of view, a rifling tool in electroche...

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...

introduction             wastewater treatment using activated sludge process (asp) produces huge amounts of sludge that must be treated by efficient methods. wastewater sludge handling is one of the most important economic-technical challenges of wastewater treatment projects. conventional methods for this purpose are very time consuming, expensive and in lots of cases have limited success. in ...
