Laser-mediated photothermal ablation of cancer cells aided by photothermal agents is a promising strategy for localized, externally controlled cancer treatment. We report the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro evaluation of conductive polymeric nanoparticles (CPNPs) of poly(diethyl-4,4'-{[2,5-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-1,4-phenylene] bis(oxy)}dibutanoate) (P1) and poly...

This work reports a novel way of producing an inexpensive substrate support to assemble a sensing film, designed for the electrical transduction of an intended biomolecule. The support uses cellulose paper as substrate, made hydrophobic with solid wax and covered by a home-made conductive ink having graphite as core material. The hydrophobicity of the paper was confirmed by contact angle measur...

In this study, energy-efficient deterministic adaptive beamforming algorithms are proposed for distributed sensor/relay networks. Specifically, DBSA, D-QESA, D-QESA-E, and a hybrid algorithm, hybrid-QESA, that combines the benefits of both deterministic and random adaptive beamforming algorithms, are proposed. Rigorous convergence analyses are provided for all our proposed algorithms and conver...

The design and exploration of carbon-based electrode materials have become highly significant for developing supercapacitor technology, which has attracted considerable attention in energy storage systems. Here, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (N-rGO) – Polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites were synthesized by a facile two-step method situ polymerization aniline monomer was performed on hydro...

FOREWORD That a healthy environment is intrinsic to sustainable development is now generally accepted. However moving beyond mere recognition is more difficult. This includes understanding the dynamics, and myriad environmental, economic and social relationships. Greater insight into the interactions between the macro economy and the environment is critical. To address the last mentioned this p...

A recent trend in micro-EDM is the addition of powders into dielectric. The presence helps to lower dielectric breakdown voltage and, therefore, discharge occurs early. As a result, energy better distributed, resulting greater number discharges, each with less energy. main advantage using this method improvement both process performance and surface finishing workpiece. In general, critical aspe...
