A Non-Biological Inhibition Based Sensing Technique (NIBS) for the Detection of Halogenated Disinfection By-Products in Water
… non-biological inhibition based sensing (NIBS), for the detection of toxic halogenated disinfection by-products in water. NIBS is a chemical amplification method where the analyte of interest inhibits a given catalyzed reaction rather than enhancing the reaction rate. NIBS works similar to …

Cerebral Hemodynamics and Its Oxygenation: Study of Their Baseline and Spontaneous Oscillation
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIBS) has been used for determination of tissue optical properties. This technique has been especially useful for in vivo monitoring of hemodynamics and oxygen saturation in tissue. For this work, I have developed a large-ranged multidistance probe for NIBS, which allows …

Ab Initio Anode Materials Discovery for Li- and Na-Ion Batteries
… for lithium- and sodium- ion batteries (LIBs and NIBs, respectively). Initial work relates to a theoretical structure prediction study of the lithium and sodium phosphide systems in the context of phosphorus anodes as candidates for LIBs and NIBs. The work reveals new Li-P and Na-P phases, some of …

Biological Mimics: A New Paradigm in the Detection of Toxic Compounds
… Other mimic sensors can be developed using the NIBS detection scheme to create a library of sensitive, selective, and portable detectors for a variety of toxin.

Task Relevant Source Based Brain Computer Interface: Exploration of Independent Component Analysis Based Spatial Filtering with Reliability
… of non-invasive electrical brain stimulation (NIBS) under Helmholtz reciprocity principle and the task- relevant sources during motor task performance can be targeted in near real-time with NIBS to facilitate the performance in health and disease, which is future work.

Microfluidic electrochemical sensors for the selective detection of toxic compounds
… as Non-Biological Inhibition Based Sensing (NIBS) mechanisms. These detection schemes utilize the inhibition of a catalyst with the target analyte to dramatically slow the rate of a main reaction, thus chemically amplifying the presence of a single molecule by reducing the production of …

Characterising Electrolyte Interactions with Carbon Anodes for Sodium Ion Batteries
… on Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Na-ion batteries (NIBs) are seen as a promising alternative to LIBs due to their lower cost and environmental impact. As Na has a similar chemistry to Li, the transfer of battery technology is also expected to be straightforward, but this is not always the case. For …

Magnetic Resonance Studies of a Sodium-Ion Battery Cathode: Experiment and Theory
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are increasingly of interest in modern society as more affordable energy storage alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. At present, the electrochemical performance—the charge/discharge rate, lifetime and capacity—of NIBs is not optimised for practical applications and …

Molecular-level interphase design for sustainable batteries
… is carried out with respect to Na-ion batteries (NIBs), as a complementary alternative to LIBs deriving benefits with respect to resource sustainability. Na is an attractive lower cost and a more widely available option than Li, and does not depend on the expensive and geographically constrained …

Thermochemical Study of Crystalline Solutes Dissolved in Ternary Hydrogen-Bonding Solvent Mixtures
… 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane) cosolvents. The Combined NIBS (Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent)/Redlich-Kister equation was used to assess the experimental data. The average percent deviation between predicted and observed values was less than ± 2 per cent error, documenting that this model provides a fairly …

The Effects of tDCS on the Identification of Emotion in a Speaker’s Voice in Young Adults with Autism
… suggests that noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can improve some cognitive functions, including skills contributing to social communication, such as working memory, executive function, and auditory processing. One promising intervention uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to …

Shear transfer between precast prestressed bridge beams and in-situ concrete crosshead in continuous structures
… at the end of the beam. b) The in-situ concrete nibs (concrete surrounding the web) can take this shear force without stirrups. c) There is no need either to project all the bars from the precast into the in-situ concrete or to prestress the connection transversely as a means of improving shear …

Untersuchung der Rolle des dorsolateralen präfrontalen Cortex und des intraparietalen Sulcus in der Proportionsgrößenverarbeitung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen mittels transkranieller Gleichstromstimulation
Das Verständnis von und der Umgang mit Proportionen ist eine grundlegende kognitive Fähigkeit, deren häufig mangelnde Ausprägung negative Auswirkungen auf die allgemeine mathematische Entwicklung von Schülern hat (Parsons & Bynner, 2005). Ein besseres Verständnis der neuronalen Mechanismen …
