Current single-cell technologies require large and expensive equipment, limiting their use to specialized labs. In this paper, we present for the first time a microfluidic device which demonstrates a combined method for full-electric cell capturing, analyzing, and selectively releasing with single-cell resolution. All functionalities are experiment...
Quantifying thoracic spine mobility with reliable and valid tools is a challenge for clinicians in practice. The aim of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of a smartphone device, bubble inclinometer and universal goniometer to quantify the static kyphotic curve and active range of motion of the thoracic spine. A total of 17 par...
Their chemical diversity, uniform pore sizes, and large internal surface areas make metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) highly suitable for volatile organic compound (VOC) adsorption. This work compares two geometries of capacitive VOC sensors that use the MOF material ZIF-8 as an affinity layer. When using a permeable top electrode (thickness
Metabolites in biological matrices belong to diverse chemical groups, ranging from non-polar long-chain fatty acids to small polar molecules. The goal of untargeted metabolomic analysis is to measure the highest number of metabolites in the sample. Nevertheless, from an analytical point of view, no single technique can measure such a broad spectrum...
We study how nitridation, applied to SiON gate layers, impacts the reliability of planar metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) subjected to negative and positive bias temperature instability (N/PBTI) as well as hard breakdown (HBD) characteristics of these devices. Experimental data demonstrate that p-channel transistors with...
The significance of branched-chain amino acids in diseases was clearly shown over the years. This review aims to describe the available techniques for their analytical determination. The article provides examples of the use of various analytical methods. The methods are divided into two categories: derivatization and non-derivatization approaches. ...

Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) is a technique used to identify the spatial distribution of molecules in tissues. An MSI experiment results in large amounts of high dimensional data, so efficient computational methods are needed to analyze the output. Topological Data Analysis (TDA) has proven to be effective in all kinds of applications. TDA focus...
