Pitting corrosion was observed on a high purity Fe-17Cr alloy in 0.02M NaCl solution of pH 6.6 at high anodic potential (+ 550 mVISCE). Potentiostatic electrochemical noise measurements were performed, revealing the presence of a characteristic current noise below stable pitting, differing strongly from that observed 011 a series of AISI 430 type 17% Cr stainless steels, with respect to the fre...

Although patterning hundreds or thousands of electrochemical electrodes on lab-on-a-chip devices is straightforward and cost-effective using photolithography, easily making connections between hundreds of electrodes and external amplifiers remains a bottleneck. Here we describe two electrode addressing approaches using multiple fluid compartments that can potentially reduce the number of extern...

In vivo electrophysiological recordings of neuronal circuits are necessary for diagnostic purposes and for brain-machine interfaces. Organic electronic devices constitute a promising candidate because of their mechanical flexibility and biocompatibility. Here we demonstrate the engineering of an organic electrochemical transistor embedded in an ultrathin organic film designed to record electrop...

Nanoporous gold (np-Au), because of its high surface area-to-volume ratio, excellent conductivity, chemical inertness, physical stability, biocompatibility, easily tunable pores, and plasmonic properties, has attracted much interested in the field of nanotechnology. It has promising applications in the fields of catalysis, bio/chemical sensing, drug delivery, biomolecules separation and purific...

For an efficient prediction of residual stresses in a material or a machine part the nondestructive method based on the magnetic Barkhausen noise is, among others, employed in practice. An experimental system developed at home and including measuring and assessment units has proved to be very efficient in various applications of surface hardening or cold hardening, and heat treatment. The prese...

A low power and low noise reconfigurable analog front-end (AFE) system on a chip (SoC) for biosignal acquisition is presented. The presented AFE can be reconfigured for use in electropotential, bioimpedance, electrochemical, and photoelectrical modes. The advanced healthcare services based on multiparameter physiological biosignals can be easily implemented with these multimodal and highly reco...

In this research, a high performance silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (transconductance as high as 34 µS and sensitivity as 84 nS/mV) is extensively studied and directly compared with planar passive microelectrode arrays for neural recording application. Electrical and electrochemical characteristics are carefully characterized in a very well-controlled manner. We especially focused on ...

background: noise is one of the most important harmful agents in work environment. noise pollution in oil refinery industries is related to workers' health. this study aimed to determine the overall noise pollution of an oil refinery operation and its frequency analysis to determine the control plan for a vent noise in these industries. methods: this experimental study performed in control unit...
