Here we present an alternative technological approach to paper-based microfluidics that, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported so far.Instead of defining fluid conducting paths by cutting fluidic structures, or by printing hydrophobic substances on paper, we prepare cellulose/polymer composites that can be printed additively on, in pr
3D-Printed Multilayer Sensor Structure for Electrical Capacitance Tomography
Presently, Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is positioned as a relatively mature and inexpensive tool for the diagnosis of non-conductive industrial processes.For most industrial applications, a hand-made approach for an ECT sensor and its 3D extended structure fabrication is used.Moreover, a hand-made procedure is often inaccurate, complica
Investigating the Migraine Cycle over 21 Consecutive Days Using Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Resting-State fMRI: A Pilot Study
Recent neuroimaging studies have revealed important aspects of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of migraine suggesting abnormal brain energy metabolism and altered functional connectivity.Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) studies investigated migraine patients in the interictal or ictal state.This first-of-its-kind study a
A Monolithic Silicon Quantum Random Number Generator Based on Measurement of Photon Detection Time
In this paper, a nondeterministic random number generator based on detection of the single photons emitted by an Si-CMOS-LED light source integrated for the first time Canvas Mesh Athletic Running Shoes on the detector chip is presented and experimentally demonstrated.We use a ring-shaped single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) around the Si-CMOS-LED
