pH-Mediated Regulation of Polymer Transport Through SiN Pores

We characterize the pH controlled polymer capture and transport thorough silicon nitride (SiN) pores subject to protonation. A charge regulation model able to reproduce the experimental zeta potential of SiN pores is coupled with electrohydrodynamic polymer transport equations. The formalism can quantitatively explain the experimentally observed non-monotonic pH dependence of avidin conductivity in terms of the interplay between the electroosmotic and electrophoretic drag forces on the protein. We also scrutinize the DNA conductivity of SiN pores. We show that in the low pH regime where the amphoteric pore is cationic, DNA-pore attraction acts as an electrostatic trap. This provides a favorable condition for fast polymer capture and extended translocation required for accurate polymer sequencing

Point of care tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

A number of clinical/disease areas have been prioritised by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and Department of Health (DH) for the DIIA Innovation Platform. To support commissioning of technology development for detection of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in humans, a scoping review has been undertaken to help identify the specific requirements for new diagnostic test development and likely economic payback for point of care (POC) tests for STIs in the UK

Point of care tests for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) : economic analysis report

A number of clinical/disease areas have been prioritised by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and Department of Health (DH) for the DIIA Innovation Platform. To support commissioning of technology development for detection of hospital acquired infections (HAIs) in humans, a scoping review has been undertaken to help identify the specific requirements for new diagnostic test development and likely economic payback for point of care (POC) tests for HAIs in the UK. This report presents economic analysis findings for the following HAIs: - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) - Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) - Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) infections

Point of care tests for tuberculosis (TB) : economic analysis report

A number of clinical/disease areas have been prioritised by the TSB and DH for the DIIA Innovation Platform. To support commissioning of technology developments in the area of tuberculosis detection in humans, a scoping review has been undertaken to help identify the specific requirements for new diagnostic test development and likely payback in the area of point of care (POC) tuberculosis tests in the UK. There has been a gradual rise in the number of tuberculosis (TB) cases observed in the UK over the last 20 years, with a 4.2% rise in 2009 giving an overall 9,040 TB cases diagnosed or 15 cases per 100,000 population [1]. The aims of this economic review are to identify available information on the following for tuberculosis (TB): - economic burden of disease in the UK; - current NHS cost of TB detection and cost of treating identified TB cases; - evidence on cost-effectiveness of current tests for detection of active and latent TB infection; and - estimates of the economic benefits which new POC tests might provide in the UK

Bit Level Correlations in Some Pseudorandom Number Generators

We present results of extensive bit level tests on some pseudorandom number generators which are commonly used in physics applications. The generators have first been tested with an extended version of the $d$-tuple test. Second, we have developed a novel {\it cluster test} where a physical analogy of the binary numbers with the two dimensional Ising model has been utilized. We demonstrate that the new test is rather powerful in finding periodic correlations on bit level. Results of both test methods are presented for each bit of the output of the generators. Some generators exhibit clear bit level correlations but we find no evidence of discernible correlations for generators, which have recently produced systematic errors in Monte Carlo simulations.Comment: University of Helsinki preprint HU-TFT-93-4

Comment on "Nonlocal statistical field theory of dipolar particles in electrolyte solutions" by Y.A. Budkov

The article by Budkov introduces a nonlocal field-theoretic model of solvent-explicit electrostatics. Despite giving a detailed introduction to the early literature on the topic, the article misses out on a series of articles that we published several years ago. Consequently, the manuscript essentially rederives without mention several results that were derived by us for the first time
