Modern society has been facing serious health-related problems including food safety, diseases and illness. Hence, it is urgent to develop analysis methods for the detection and control of food contaminants, disease biomarkers and pathogens. As the traditional instrumental methods have several disadvantages, including being time consuming, and having high cost and laborious procedures, optical nanosensors have emerged as promising alternative or complementary approaches to those traditional ones. With the advantages of simple preparation, high surface-to-volume ratio, excellent biocompatibility, and especially, unique optical properties, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been demonstrated as excellent transducers for optical sensing systems. Herein, we provide an overview of the synth... |
In ultrasound tomography (UT), Born iterative method (BIM) and distorted-Born iterative method (DBIM) based on Born approximation are considered efficacious. DBIM offers faster convergence compared to BIM; however, it is more susceptible to noise and vice versa. Combined or multi-model imaging is an indispensable trend of modern imaging to detect and accurately assess tissue states. The proposed method exploits the advantages, limiting the disadvantages and increasing the imaging speed of the merging of BIM and DBIM |
Conventional Distorted Born Iterative Method (DBIM) using single frequency has low resolution and is prone to creating images with high-contrast subjects. We propose a productive frequency combination method to better result in tomographic ultrasound imaging based on the multi-frequency technique. This study uses the natural mechanism of emitting oscillators' frequencies and uses these frequencies for imaging in iterations. We use a fundamental tone (i.e., the starting frequency f0) for the first iteration in DBIM, then consecutively use its overtones for the next ones. The digital simulation scenarios are tested with other multi-frequency approaches to prove our method's feasibility. We performed 57 different simulation scenarios on the use of multi-frequency information for the DB... |
We here invent an implicitly new optical device - cylindrical Fresnel lenses historically used in the decades-old lighthouse concentrator to find application in the field of concentrator photovoltaic, with numerous demonstrations of exotic features in optics. The precious attribute of such a solar concentrator is its ability to grant a focal point sequence, essentially distributed over an arc at any light incidence. The other striking merit of this design is its high acceptance angle, about 60°, at hand and even up to 90°, ideally. We have applied this approach to a simplified principle-of-concept model that closely depicts the octagonal cylindrical Fresnel lens in essence. This convergence feature was evidenced in a mock-up model through optical simulation and further consolidated ... |

In this work, Ag@ZnO and Ag@ZnO/MgAC photocatalysts were synthesized using a simple two-step electrochemical method by the addition of magnesium aminoclay (MgAC) as a great stabilizer and a Lewis base, which could donate electrons for reduction of Ag+ and Zn2+ ions, facilitating uniform formation as well as effective inhibition of aggregation of Ag@ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) on the MgAC matrix. Ag@ZnO and Ag@ZnO/MgAC were investigated for photocatalytic degradation of MB and their antibacterial efficiencies. Ag@ZnO/MgAC showed excellent photocatalytic MB degradation with a performance of 98.56% after 80 min of visible-light irradiation and good antibacterial activity against Salmonella (Sal) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacterial strains, providing promising high application p... |
