Detection limit

began to arise such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Now technology has advanced enough to allow nanotechnology to arise. Nano allows access to treatment and detection options that neither radiotherapy nor chemotherapy have access. The use of quantum dots to highlight cells allows for more accurate detection than typical optical detection methods. Use of particular nanoshells, paramagnetic nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes allow for improved treatment of a cell…

diarrhea, and nausea. Thus, early detection of Salmonella contamination is important for our healthy life. Conventional detection methods for the food contamination have limitations in sensitivity and rapidity, thus the early phase detection has been difficult. Herein, we developed a bioelectronic nose using a carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistor (FET) functionalized with Drosophila odorant binding protein (OBP)-derived peptide for easy and rapid detection of Salmonella contamination in…

This is a summary of the articles “Osteoporosis prevention, Screening, and Treatment: A Review” by J.M. Kling, M.D., B.L. Clarke, M.D., and N.P. Sandhu, M. D., PhD. Along with article Interventions: “Defusing the World’s Osteoporosis Time Bomb” by K.M. Chan, M. Anderson, and E.M.C., Lau and “Defusing the World’s Osteoporosis Time Bomb” by: Kai Ming Chan, Anderson, M, Lau, Edith M. C. Discussed in these articles is the importance of prevention, screening and treatment of osteoporosis.…

diagnose and treat patients (Koh & Tan, 2011). Another benefit is detection of fraud or abuse. Systems are capable of setting standards to catch patterns or things that seem unordinary. This detection can reduce incorrect dosage and prescriptions or false insurance or medical claims. Koh & Tan (2011) found that ReliaStar Financial Corporation reported an increase of 20 percent in yearly savings just from having a fraud and abuse detection system in place (p. 68). Two methods were mentioned by…

all calculated variation coefficients is provided in Table 1 (A). Sensitivity The limit of blank (LoB), limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantification (LoQ) were determined for all methods. The RIA proved to be the most analytically sensitive method, followed by LC-MS/MS. The LIAISON CLIA proved to be less sensitive, the most insensitive method was by far the Immulite CLIA. All determined determination limits are summarized in Table…

is one of the largest banks in the city of Chicago with over $5 billion in monetary holdings in the bank’s system at any given time. The company has over one hundred different branches located around the Midwest but is headquartered in Chicago city limits. With such a large business operation, it is obvious that the bank would need to take significant measures to ensure the money and information of their customers which they possessed was protected from any third-party access or from being…

Question #1 “Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) are set by OSHA to protect workers against the adverse effects of exposure to chemical substances” (Haight, 2012, p. 52). In the world of gas detection, PELs limit the amount or concentration of a substance in the air and generally are based on an 8-hour time-weighted average exposure. “A Threshold Limit Value (TLV), set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), is the limit of exposure to a chemical substance that…

daily. Guide dogs and Mobility dogs are no longer a novelty as we push the frontiers of the dog/human relationship. Canines are invaluable to us in the Military, the Police Force, as Search and Rescue dogs, as well as Banned Substance Detection dogs. Assistance dogs are becoming companions…

Mercedes-Benz vision guided van in the 70’s to the 90’s where autonomous driving became a reality. There has been plenty of strides taken in the development of autonomous cars since then. One notably is Google’s self driving car that uses Gps and detection lasers that helps identify the cars location and mark surroundings to make smart and safe decisions in the real world. Since the technology is now coming into fruition auto makers like GNC, Ford, Mercedes and Fiat are working on self driving…

MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine), commonly referred to as ecstasy, and methamphetamine are central nervous system stimulants, which can produce euphoria, enhanced mental and emotional clarity, sensations of lightness and floating, and other hallucinations. (Chandra et al. 2015) Due to their effects, MDMA and methamphetamine are used in Drug-Facilitated Crimes (DFC), intended to impair behaviour, perceptions, or decision-making capacity to take advantage of an impaired person without…
