Analysis and Validation of Contactless Time-Gated Interrogation Technique for Quartz Resonator Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)

Baù M, Ferrari M, Ferrari V.
PMID: 28574459
Sensors (Basel). 2017 Jun 02;17(6). doi: 10.3390/s17061264.

A technique for contactless electromagnetic interrogation of AT-cut quartz piezoelectric resonator sensors is proposed based on a primary coil electromagnetically air-coupled to a secondary coil connected to the electrodes of the resonator. The interrogation technique periodically switches between interleaved...

Chronic inflammation is considered as a critical cause of a host of disorders, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases, although the exact mechanism is yet to be explored. Imaging tools that can specifically target inflammation are...

Electronic transport in benzodifuran single-molecule transistors.

Nanoscale

Xiang A, Li H, Chen S, Liu SX, Decurtins S, Bai M, Hou S, Liao J.
PMID: 25833315
Nanoscale. 2015 May 07;7(17):7665-73. doi: 10.1039/c5nr00402k.

Benzodifuran (BDF) single-molecule transistors have been fabricated in electromigration break junctions for electronic measurements. The inelastic electron tunneling spectrum validates that the BDF molecule is the pathway of charge transport. The gating effect is analyzed in the framework of...

Desensitization of the Mechanoreceptors in Müller's Muscle Reduces the Increased Reflex Contraction of the Orbicularis Oculi Slow-Twitch Fibers in Blepharospasm.

Eplasty

Matsuo K, Ban R, Ban M.
PMID: 25328566
Eplasty. 2014 Sep 12;14:e33. eCollection 2014.

OBJECTIVE: Although the mixed orbicularis oculi muscle lacks the muscle spindles required to induce reflex contraction of its slow-twitch fibers, the mechanoreceptors in Müller's muscle function as extrinsic mechanoreceptors to induce reflex contraction. We hypothesize that strong stretching of...
