Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) achieve high hepatitis C virus (HCV) cure rates and are forgiving to missed doses, but adherence-efficacy relationships have not been well defined. Traditional adherence measures (e.g. Read More

A high-speed and high-temperature calorimetric solid-state thermal mass flow sensor (TMFS) design was proposed and its sensitivity to temperature and airflow speed were numerically assessed. The sensor operates at 573.15 Kelvin (300 °C), measuring speeds up to 265 m/s, and is customized to be a transducer for an aircraft Air Data System (ADS). Read More

Ricin and abrin are phytotoxins that can be easily used as biowarfare and bioterrorism agents. Therefore, developing a rapid detection method for both toxins is of great significance in the field of biosecurity. In this study, a novel nanoforest silicon microstructure was prepared by the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technique; particularly, a novel microfluidic sensor chip with a capillary self-driven function and large surface area was designed.

The attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is an important concept in the area of navigation, image stabilization, and object detection and tracking. Many studies and works have been conducted in this regard to estimate the accurate orientation of rigid bodies. In most research in this area, low-cost MEMS sensors are employed, but since the system's response will diverge over time due to integration drift, it is necessary to apply proper estimation algorithms.

This paper presents a microfluidic thermal flowmeter for monitoring injection pumps, which is essential to ensure proper patient treatment and reduce medication errors that can lead to severe injury or death. The standard gravimetric method for flow-rate monitoring requires a great deal of preparation and laboratory equipment and is impractical in clinics. Therefore, an alternative to the standard method suitable for remote, small-scale, and frequent infusion-pump monitoring is in great demand. Read More
