Superselective Hydrogen Separation through a Mixed Conducting Graphene Oxide Membrane.

A cost-effective H separation method is required for the purification of gaseous mixtures containing H. Thus, in this study, we investigate the H separation properties of Ce ion-doped partially reduced graphene oxide (prGO) membranes. Pt/C-catalyst-coated, dense, micrometer-thick membranes are fabricated by stacking Ce-prGO nanosheets, followed by thermal annealing.

Electrochemical Detection of Ethanol in Air Using Graphene Oxide Nanosheets Combined with Au-WO.

Detection, monitoring, and analysis of ethanol are important in various fields such as health care, food industries, and safety control. In this study, we report that a solid electrolyte gas sensor based on a proton-conducting membrane is promising for detecting ethanol in air. We focused on graphene oxide (GO) as a new solid electrolyte because it shows a high proton conductivity at room temperature.

Performance comparison of two malaria rapid diagnostic test with real time polymerase chain reaction and gold standard of microscopy detection method.

Background: The diagnostic test for malaria is mostly based on Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) and detection by microscopy. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is also a sensitive detection method that can be considered as a diagnostic tool. The outcome of malaria microscopy detection depends on the examiner's ability and experience.

Primary imatinib resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia patients in a developing country: BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations or BCR-ABL independent mechanisms?

Clinical resistance to imatinib (IM) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) carries adverse consequences. We investigated 22 CML patients who developed IM-resistance for BCR-ABL kinase domain (KD) mutations. The median follow-up for this study was 101.

The prevalence and distribution of Brucella melitensis in goats in Malaysia from 2000 to 2009.

A study was conducted to describe the prevalence and distribution of zoonotic Brucella melitensis in goats in Peninsular Malaysia. Using serosurveillance data of the last decade (2000-2009) involving 119,799 goats and 3555 farms, the seroprevalence of brucellosis among goats was 0.91% (95% CI=0.
