In this study, we developed a novel method for the detection of Vibrio alginolyticus, utilizing the specific recognition of an aptamer for V.alginolyticus and signal amplification via hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin.The proposed HCR-based multivalent aptamer Magnetic Blocks (multi-Apt) amplifier

Abstract Phase-sensitive measurements usually utilize Pre-Rolled interferometric techniques to retrieve the optical phase.However, when the feature space of an electromagnetic field is inherently low dimensional, most field parameters can be extracted from intensity measurements only.However, even the fastest of the previously published intensity-o

The aim of this article is to summarise certain positive results achieved by the Lula government in the sphere of social policy and to highlight the new challenges taken on by President Dilma Rousseff in terms of eradicating extreme poverty, after her first year in government.After Lula’s success with social policy, Rousseff has committed herself

The primary objective of this study is to determine appropriate mixes for cement-based crack injection materials by combining Portland cement (type I) and sulfoaluminate cement (SAC) with reactive ultra-fine fly ash (RUFA).Various weight percentages of SAC (WSAC) and Portland cement (type I) (WC) as binder materials Book were considered, while the

The evolution of aggregate (floc) size distributions resulting from hydrophobic flocculation has been investigated using a laser light scattering technique.By measuring floc size distributions it is possible to distinguish clearly among floc formation, growth and breakage.Hydrophobic flocculation of hematite suspensions with sodium oleate under a v
