the scanning probe microscopes (spms) based lithographic techniques have been demonstrated as an extremely capable patterning tool. manipulating surfaces, creating atomic assembly, fabricating chemical patterns, imaging topography and characterizing various mechanical properties of materials in nanometer regime are enabled by this technique. in this paper, a qualified overview of diverse lithog...

Microencapsulation of model drug, acetylsalicylic acid into bio-based polymer, alginatepectin matrix and chitosan had been undertaken in this work to characterize the microcapsules based on their composition. Alginate-pectin with the proportion of 40:60 solution was prepared with 0.3 g of drug. This mix was homogenized and atomized using nitrogen gas into 1.0M calcium chloride solution to form ...

the resonant frequency and sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (afm) cantilever with assembled cantilever probe (acp) have been analyzed and a closed-form expression for the sensitivity of vibration modes has been obtained. the proposed acp comprises an inclined cantilever and extension, and a tip located at the free end of the extension, which makes the afm capable of topography at sidew...

background: th e second leading cause of cancer deaths in women is breast cancer. germline mutations in susceptibility breast cancer gene brca1 increase the lifetime risk of breast cancer. eighty-one large genomic rearrangements (lgrs) have been reported up to date in brca1 gene, and evaluation of these rearrangements helps with precise risk assessment in high-risk individuals. in this study, w...

The development of a chemical probe for identifying the protein targets of reactive electrophilic α-oxoaldehydes such as methylglyoxal is presented. The probe is evaluated against methylglyoxal using human serum albumin as well as using living cells and lysates.

Electron transport in mesoscopic conductors has traditionally involved investigations of the mean current and the fluctuations of the current. A complementary view on charge transport is provided by the distribution of waiting times between charge carriers, but a proper theoretical framework for coherent electronic systems has so far been lacking. Here we develop a quantum theory of electron wa...

We present a fast and versatile algorithm for the reconstruction of the grain structure from 2d and 3d Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) data. The algorithm is rigorously derived from the modeling assumption that grain boundaries are located at the bisectors of adjacent measurement locations. This modeling assumption immediately implies that grains are composed of Voronoi cells correspon...
