Flat type thick film inductive sensors

Two thick film flat-type inductive sensors are described and tested for distance and profile measurement. The first one is a single-layer spiral while the second one is a multi-layer structure consisting of ten spirals one over the other. The paper describes their geometric configurations together with their simulated magnetic fields and it reports the results from the characterization test i.e. the series-equivalent circuit parameters, the sensitivity and the cross-sensitivity to temperature. An experimental analysis of the sensitivity suggests that optimized values are obtained by an appropriate choice of the working frequency. The sensors are shielded against e.m. noise coming from the nonsensitive area. Moreover, two sensors have been tested in the laboratory using the single layer as a distance sensor and the multi-layer as a transducer for the measurement of a metallic object profile. The results of the tests show a maximum sensitivity of 14mV/µm and a resolution of 0.6 µm for the single layer, while the multi layer one reconstructs the profile with an axial resolution of a few microns and a lateral resolution better than 200 mm

Time-lapse 3-D measurements of a glucose biosensor in multicellular spheroids by light sheet fluorescence microscopy in commercial 96-well plates

Light sheet fluorescence microscopy has previously been demonstrated on a commercially available inverted fluorescence microscope frame using the method of oblique plane microscopy (OPM). In this paper, OPM is adapted to allow time-lapse 3-D imaging of 3-D biological cultures in commercially available glass-bottomed 96-well plates using a stage-scanning OPM approach (ssOPM). Time-lapse 3-D imaging of multicellular spheroids expressing a glucose Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor is demonstrated in 16 fields of view with image acquisition at 10 minute intervals. As a proof-of-principle, the ssOPM system is also used to acquire a dose response curve with the concentration of glucose in the culture medium being varied across 42 wells of a 96-well plate with the whole acquisition taking 9 min. The 3-D image data enable the FRET ratio to be measured as a function of distance from the surface of the spheroid. Overall, the results demonstrate the capability of the OPM system to measure spatio-temporal changes in FRET ratio in 3-D in multicellular spheroids over time in a multi-well plate format

Studi Perbandingan Partisipasi Politik Pemilih Di Kota Tegal Dalam Pemilu Legislatif Tahun 2014 Dan Pemilihan Presiden Dan Wakil Presiden Tahun 2014 (Studi Kasus Kecamatan Tegal Timur Dan Margadana)

In 2014 Indonesia once again held elections to vote Legislatives, President and Vice President. Generally, Legislative Election collects a better participation number compare to Presidential Elections. But in subdistrict level, East Tegal collected more votes on Presidential Election and the highest participations rate (2,47%) among other subdisctrict. It is really the contrary of Margadana that have the biggest slump participation rate (5,08%) In Tegal on Presidential Election. This study aim is to analyse the voters political participation difference tendencies and the determine factors that affect the voters political participation on Legislative Elections and Presidential Elections in East Tegal and Margadana based on the external factors (structural and figures candidate) and internal factors (sociological, psychological, and rational choice). This study uses survey methode by distributing questionnaires to the respondents. The targets in this study are 40 voters in East Tegal and 40 voters in Margadana that selected by using cluster random sampling.The results shows there is significant difference of psychological factor on Legislative Election. The majority respondents in East Tegal tend to choose candidates while the majority respondents in Margadana tend to choose the supporting party of candidates. Whereas there is no found any difference factors that affect voter turnout in both district over Presidential Elections. In general the technical problems causes of non-voting behaviour either on Legislatif or Presidential elections in East Tegal and Margadana. The flurry of activities, unreacheable polling station from the workplace, or temporary move in tto he other city for work / study and the difficulties of changing polling station rules are the reason voters did not vote. The advice can be given to General Elections Commission(KPU) of Tegal as election organizers are expected to increase more thorough and equitable dissemination to the public, especially regarding technical at the election so as to facilitate voters in participating, especially for voters who spend more time outside the city. In addition, the Commission can strengthen the good relations to other government agencies that assist the implementation of the election, NGOs, community leaders, or volunteer in providing political education to the community. Expected with increasing political knowledge society they will be more aware of the importance of their participation in the election

Weathering of Viama?o granodiorite, south Brazil : Part 2-Initial porosity of un-weathered rock controls porosity development in the critical zone

The development of porosity during rock weathering is a key process controlling nutrients release, water holding capacity available for plants and water flow. Here we used X-ray Computed Tomography (XRCT) and 14C PolyMethylMethAcrylate (PMMA) autoradiography to show how cracks are created and enlarged during initial weathering stages (saprock and saprolite) of granodiorite in southern Brazil (Viama similar to o - RS). The physical evolution is characterized by imaging the pore network, using 14C-PMMA and XRCT methods. Combined with bulk porosity measurements, they highlight the increase in porosity with the degree of weathering (un-weathered rock phi = 1.66 %, saprolite phi = 11.7 %). This increase is related to the joint increase of the density of the cracks (unweathered rock D = 0.28 mm-1, saprolite D = 0.94 mm-1) and of the average opening of the microcracks (unweathered rock w = 2.4 mu m, saprolite w = 3.9 mu m) and macrocracks (un-weathered rock w = 176 mu m, saprolite w = 400 mu m). However, these average crack openings do not account for the variability of the openings that govern the flows, characterized here by specific distribution ranging from the submicrometre to the centimetre scale. The results highlight that the pore network of the un-weathered rock plays a key role in the initial stages or incipient weathering. The density and aperture and cracks increase following the subcritical cracking concept and new pores are formed by chemo-mechanical processes. The presence/absence of initial fractures in the regolith is certainly a key parameter controlling the weathering of different rock types (mafic vs felsic).Peer reviewe
