Microfluidics

health related issues if the levels found in the water are too high. Using the ASSURED criteria (Affordable, Sensitive, Specific, User-friendly, Rapid and robust, Equipment-free, Delivered to end users) criteria my team hopes to create a low cost microfluidic platform to detect arsenic in water. The end goal should benefit the every day lives of people who live in areas with serve arsenic contamination. This document will analyze the ethical decision making steps that will be needed when…

End animal testing Since times unmemorable humans and animals have had a special relationship. Animals have kept us alive and we cared for them. The Bible speaks of Adam and Eve being clothed in animal skins at the time of their departure from the Garden of Eden. In those days animals were respected because of their sacrifice. Recent scientific discoveries and advances in medicine opened up a new field of uses for animals other than just food or clothing. To check for potential negative effects…

It is used in developing new drugs and approving the safety of drugs. Hence, millions of unhealthy people have been helped indirectly by animal testing. However, animal testing is beneficial for human only and not for the animals used. Most of the animals which give great contribution to the health of world's dwellers are cruelly slaughtered during experiments and not well treated in drug-development laboratories. Animals, like human, also have rights to be freed from suffering and treated well.…

INTRODUCTION 1.1 :R[1] MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) are innovative microfabricated devices with critical dimensions in the range of 1 to 1000µm. These devices are electro-mechanical structures whose complexity varies from a simple actuator to a highly complex electromechanical system performing a wide variety of sensing and control. Introduced in the early 60’s the development of this technology has been growing tremendously. It has been the pioneer in sensor and other applications.…

This device can, “respond to the wearer 's needs, the flexibility [of the wearable health device] allows a drug delivery pump (DDP) with a microfluidic channel for drug ejection to be integrated” (Honda, Harada, Arie, Akita, & Takei, 2014, p. 3299). This means that the one receiving the medicine would not need to do anything except wear the device. Consequently, this brings up another point that…

only possible way to test products. This is not the case. There are many other methods of testing products such as in vitro testing and microdosing in humans. Using artificial human skin like EpiDerm and ThinCert could accurately test chemicals. Microfluidic chips or “organs on a chip” could successfully mimic the function of humans organs. Products could be tested virtually. A computer could test toxicity by using a virtual replica of human molecular structures. All of these tests are or could…

Reine, 1 Animal Testing Should Be Banned ! Blessed Reine Freshman Comp I November 21, 2016 Reine, 2 Animal testing should be banned. “An animal test is any scientific experiment of test in which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them…

Forensic science [2-4] is an area that deals with the application of scientific knowledge to legal situations. As such, it provides a great deal of truth to many legal proceeding. The forensic sciences – forensic chemistry [5-8], forensic biology [9,10], forensic anthropology [11], forensic medicine [12], forensic materials science [13,14], forensic engineering [15], computational forensics [16], among others – are broadly used to resolve civil disputes, to justify and enforce criminal laws and…

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE It is my firm belief that the deepest desires are emblazoned unconsciously at childhood. I grew up watching my father work as an Oil Technologist in an edible oil refinery. He would regularly take me along with him to the refinery to explain the processes involved. My curiosity was kindled when I saw how cotton seeds which were fed into machines at one end of the industry were miraculously turned into edible oil at the other. The size and sound of huge machinery…

New way of teaching by iPad Many devices such as laptops and iPads are being used increasingly in education around the world. A journal research article “Teacher’s use of iPads in higher education” created by Daniel Churchill and Tianchong Wang in a famous book in Hong Kong Educational technology from page 214 to 225. Both authors are famous professors in Hong Kong who work the most popular Universities in Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Both author study the approaching process…
