Current techniques of detecting proteins in solution can prove to be time consuming and expensive. Although low cost techniques are available, these are often slow and inaccurate. The authors propose an innovative technique for detecting the presence of proteins and other organic macromolecules in an electrolyte by analyzing the voltage waveform resulting from a biphasic, constant-current, charge-balanced electrical stimulation. Initial experiments have proven the viability of the technique. However due to the limitation of technique accuracy, further refinement of the measurement approach is required.

High-voltage (HV) cables are increasingly used in urban power grids, and their safe operation is critical to grid stability. Previous studies have analyzed various defects, including the open circuit in the sheath loop, the flooding in the cross-bonded link box, and the sheath grounding fault. However, there is a paucity of research on the defect of the reverse direction between the inner core and the outer shield of the coaxial cable.

A novel piezoresistive cantilever microprobe (PCM) with an integrated electrothermal or piezoelectric actuator has been designed to replace current commercial PCMs, which require external actuators to perform contact-resonance imaging (CRI) of workpieces and avoid unwanted "forest of peaks" observed at large travel speed in the millimeter-per-second range. Initially, a PCM with integrated resistors for electrothermal actuation (ETA) was designed, built, and tested. Here, the ETA can be performed with a piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge, which converts mechanical strain into electrical signals by boron diffusion in order to simplify the production process.

Electron microscopy (EM) is a key tool for studying the microstructure of wood; however, observing uncoated samples poses a challenge due to surface charging. This study aims to identify the critical voltage that allows for the effective observation of uncoated wood samples without significant loading. As part of the experiment, samples of different wood species were tested, including Acacia ( L.

Exploring tazarotene, a third-generation retinoid for potential hand osteoarthritis treatment, this study presents the development and validation of an ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole detector mass spectrometry (UPLC-QDa) method for the simultaneous quantification of tazarotene and tazarotenic acid, its active metabolite, in porcine skin. Method development involved a design-of-experiments approach for chromatographic optimization of gradient steepness, organic solvent volume, column temperature, capillary voltage, flow rate, and cone voltage. Central composite orthogonal design was used to optimize peak area, peak width, retention time, and resolution.

The short-circuit (SC) robustness of SiC MOSFETs is critical for high-power applications, yet 1.2 kV devices often struggle to meet the industry-standard SC withstand time (SCWT) under practical operating conditions. Despite growing interest in higher voltage classes, no prior study has systematically evaluated the SC performance of 1.
