Electrical bio-sensing based on non-antibody recognition elements by Chen, Hu

“…This study focuses on monitoring of sports fatigue related biomarkers using electrical assays (i.e., field-effect transistor sensing and tunable resistive pulse sensing) that are based on non-antibody recognition elements. The main hypothesis is that assays based on synthetic receptors can deliver sensing performances comparable to that of conventional antibody based ones, while providing advantages such as excellent stability in harsh environments, facile synthesis process, and small molecular sizes. …”

Variational Multiscale Models for Charge Transport by Wei, Guo-Wei, Zheng, Qiong, Chen, Zhan, Xia, Kelin

“…Biol., 72 (2010), pp. 1562--1622], is the use of the differential geometry theory of surfaces as a natural means to geometrically separate the macroscopic domain from the microscopic domain, while dynamically coupling discrete and continuum descriptions. Our main strategy is to construct the total energy functional of a charge transport system to encompass the polar and nonpolar free energies of solvation and chemical potential related energy. …”

ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase encoding genes in E. coli from pig and pig farm workers in Vietnam and their association with mobile genetic elements by Hounmanou, Yaovi Mahuton Gildas, Bortolaia, Valeria, Dang, Son Thi Thanh, Truong, Duong, Olsen, John E., Dalsgaard, Anders

“…The isolates carrying the plasmids, even those with plasmids of similar types, showed wide genetic variation with high number of SNPs, suggesting horizontal spread of plasmids into different clonal lines. Their virulence profiles did not confirm to known pathotypes, suggesting that unrelated commensals are a main reservoir for ESBL and AmpC β-lactamases in both humans and pigs. …”
