Analytical protocols for normalization of artifacts and signal quality control are crucial in the design of intensity-based imaging optodes. In this study, we demonstrate how the time correlated pixel-by-pixel calibration (TCPC) technique could be used to predict analytical sensitivity, limit of detection (LOD) and determination of signal variation (relative standard deviation, R.S.D.) at a pix...

Analytical ultracentrifugation has again become a widely used biomolecular research technique for determining sample purity, characterizing assembly and disassembly mechanisms of biomolecular complexes, determining subunit stoichiometries, detecting and characterizing macromolecular conformational changes, and measuring equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters for self- and hetero-ass...

The globalised cascaded scattering matrix technique is a well proven, practical method that can be used to simulate large accelerating RF structures in which realistic fabrication errors to be incorporated in an efficient manner without the necessity to re-mesh the entire geometry. The globalised scattering matrix (GMS) technique allows one to obtain the scattering matrix for a structure. The m...

The mode-matching technique is deployed in this paper in order to analyze and design a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) T-junction diplexer in Ku-band. The diplexer has bandwidths of 4.12% and 3.79% at 14.55 and 15.85 GHz, respectively. Also in Ku-band, an SIW corner filter is analyzed and designed with the same technique. Analytical results are compared with simulated data obtained from co...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a fast and non-destructive analytical technique that offers many advantages for a broad range of industrial applications. In this work, we reviewed recent developments in the pharmaceutical domain where it can be applied from raw material identification to final product release. The characteristics of NIR allow the technique to be implemented as a process ana...

Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) represents a unique refinement of a classic chromatographic method has the potential to unlock some of the more difficult to measure physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical materials such as powder surface energies, acid/base/polar functionality of surfaces, diffusion kinetics, solubility parameters, surface heterogeneity and phase transition temperatures/h...

The processes of analysing qualitative data, particularly the stage between coding and publication, are often vague and/or poorly explained within addiction science and research more broadly. A simple but rigorous and transparent technique for analysing qualitative textual data, developed within the field of addiction, is described. The technique, iterative categorization (IC), is suitable for ...

The art of multi-objective design is to extract the best compromise among conflicting requirements. The analytical multi-objective parameter synthesis adopts closed-form specifications that make the multi-objective design in linear systems computationally efficient. In this paper, the analytical multi-objective parameter synthesis method is extended to nonlinear systems via the state-dependent ...

INTRODUCTION Chromatography is probably the most powerful analytical technique available to the modern chemist. Its power arises from its capacity to determine quantitatively many individual components present in mixture by single analytical procedure[1-2]. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a chromatographic technique that can separate a mixture of compounds and is used in bioche...

This paper presents the application of the method of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) for the analysis of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. GDQ is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. The effectiveness of the solution technique is verified by comparing the GDQ computed results...
