A membrane-based optical flow-through sensor is described which can be alternatively used for absorbance and reflectance detection within the receiver channel of a sandwich-type gas-diffusion separation cell. Using the common spectrophotometric detection scheme for nitrite based on azo-dye formation, the principle features of the flow-through sensor are investigated and the performance is characterised particularly with regard to selectivity and sensitivity aspects. The determination of nitrite in waste waters and meat extracts was used to demonstrate the applicability to real sample analysis. The main advantage of the proposed flow-through sensor is the absence of interferences due to sample colour and turbidity enabling direct sample admission of complex samples without tedious sample pretreatment.

Hybrid nanoplasmonic structures composed of subwavelength apertures in metallic films and nanoparticles have recently been demonstrated as ultrasensitive plasmonic sensors. This work investigates the electrokinetically driven propagation of the assembly mechanism of the metallic nanoparticles through nanoapertures. The Debye-Hückel approximation for a symmetric electrolyte solution with overlapping electrical double layers (EDLs) is used to obtain an analytical solution to the problem.

This research introduces a novel approach to achieve simultaneous nitrification-denitrification (SND) under dynamic load conditions using a cost-effective rope-type biofilm technology. The approach represents a significant advancement in wastewater treatment, particularly beneficial for remote and decentralized communities. The biofilm-based SND process was developed using a pilot-scale flow-through reactor by implementing upstream carbon management with constant-timer-based aeration control versus dynamic-sensor-based aeration control strategies.

Real-time, all-electronic control of non-Newtonian fluid flow through a microscale channel is crucial for various applications in manufacturing and healthcare. However, existing methods lack the sensitivity required for accurate measurement and the real-time responsiveness necessary for effective adjustment. Here, we demonstrate an all-electronic system that enables closed-loop, real-time, high-sensitivity control of various waveforms of non-Newtonian fluid flow (0.

Article Synopsis
- Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is used for monitoring sound from perforation holes during hydraulic fracturing, and it can help estimate perforation erosion caused by proppant injection.
- The research employed a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) acoustic simulator to examine the acoustic response of fluid flow through perforations of varying sizes and established a linear relationship between sound pressure levels and flow rates.
- The findings indicate that as the perforation diameter increases, the DAS signal decreases, providing crucial insights for fracture design and evaluating perforation diameter growth during hydraulic treatment.
