This paper presents research initiated with the aim of assessing feasibility biocementing peat fens soil, a problematic soil underlying many embankments East Anglia railway network (UK). Biocementation is an emerging, novel, ground improvement technique. It has recently attracted interest researchers worldwide because it been proposed as potentially environmentally superior to chemical grouts a...

1. The electrophoretic activity of particles of human skin in distilled water and different concentrations of salt solutions has been studied. The electrokinetic potential and the charge density were determined and comparisons made with results obtained by electroendosmosis. 2. The electrokinetic potential is ultimately decreased if sufficient salt is added. The order of inhibition is Al > Ca >...

Background Effects of GCSF (Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor) injection in patients suffering from recurrent pregnancy loss has been studied in some studies and we now know that transvaginal perfusion of G-CSF might be helpful for improvement of implantation rate among patients with thin endometrium and patients under in vitro fertilization /embryo transfer (IVF/ET) or intracytoplasmic spe...

UNLABELLED Rapid detection of bacterial pathogens is critical toward judicious management of infectious diseases. Herein, we demonstrate an in situ electrokinetic stringency control approach for a self-assembled monolayer-based electrochemical biosensor toward urinary tract infection diagnosis. The in situ electrokinetic stringency control technique generates Joule heating induced temperature r...

The outer hair cell of the inner ear is believed to be responsible for the high sensitivity and selectivity of mammalian hearing. Molecular motors are generally believed to cause the electrically-driven length change (electromotility) of the outer hair cell. It has been suggested that electrokinetic effects might also play a significant role in electromotility, along with the molecular motors. ...

This paper combines new experimental data for electrokinetic characterization of hydrophobic polymers with a detailed discussion of the putative origins of charge at water-hydrophobe interfaces. Complexities in determining the origin of charge are discussed in the context of design and modeling challenges for electrokinetic actuation in hydrophobic microfluidic devices with aqueous working flui...

Overall, investigations about the utilization of electrokinetic technology alone or in combination with other processes have attracted particular attention recent years for remediation soils contaminated heavy metals and organic compounds. This fact is due to its peculiar benefits together capability operating a fine low-permeability matrix. review aimed ascertain most developments on commonly ...
