Characterization of low-temperature plasmas generated by dielectric barrier discharges for bacterial inactivation

Low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) at atmospheric pressure hold great promise for disinfection and sterilization applications. When compared to traditional sterilization technologies like autoclaving, LTPs may offer several benefits, including reduced energy c ...

Influence of Different Sterilization Methods on the Surface Chemistry and Electrochemical Behavior of Biomedical Alloys

Stefano Mischler

Sterilization is a prerequisite for biomedical devices before contacting the human body. It guarantees the lack of infection by eliminating microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, spores and fungi). It constitutes the last fabrication process of a biomedical devic ...

Electrospun zein incorporating phycocyanin and Spirulina extract: Fabrication, characterization, and potential application

Niloufar Sharif

Electrospinning was used to develop zein fibers containing phycocyanin and aqueous-ethanolic extract of Spirulina (AEES) for elucidating the potent packaging properties of phycocyanin and AEES on walnut samples. Morphological results revealed that using th ...

Modulation of the nanoscale motion rate of Candida albicans by X-rays

Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba

IntroductionPatients undergoing cancer treatment by radiation therapy commonly develop Candida albicans infections (candidiasis). Such infections are generally treated by antifungals that unfortunately also induce numerous secondary effects in the patient. ...

Robust and sustainable cultivation of microalgae: recycling of nitrogen from liquid digestate and control of biological contamination

Adrian Pulgarin

The present doctoral thesis aimed to achieve a robust cultivation of microalgae by recycling nitrogen from a liquid digestate. However, the use of non-sterile nutrient source increases the risks of contamination of undesired organisms such as bacteria, vir ...

TID Degradation Mechanisms in 16-nm Bulk FinFETs Irradiated to Ultrahigh Doses

Christian Enz

This article investigates the total ionizing dose (TID) degradation mechanisms of 16-nm bulk Si FinFETs at ultrahigh doses. n- and p-FinFETs with several channel lengths are irradiated up to 1 Grad(SiO2) and then annealed for 24 h at 100 degrees C. Irradia ...
