A patch type non-enzymatic biosensor based on 3D SUS micro-needle electrode array for minimally invasive continuous glucose monitoring

Abstract: We developed a new patch-shaped enzyme free biosensor using a micro-needle array with Pt black sensing electrode layer for painless continuous glucose monitoring applications. We fabricated the micro-needle array using a bulk micromachining technique and commercial stainless steel 316L grade substrate. Pt black and Ag/AgCl were then electroplated on the tip of each micro-needle as working and counter/reference electrodes of the sensor, respectively. The fabricated micro-needle was 650 μm high and 150 μm wide. We used 48 and 24 micro-needles for the working electrode and counter/reference electrode, respectively. The measured sensitivity was 1.62 μA mM −1 with high linearity of 0.9939, and was obtained within 13 sec, in glucose concentrations ranging up to 36 mM. The biosensor also exhibited a low detection limit of 50 μM. We tested the sensor under PBS solution over a period of 6 days. Then we partially inserted the sensor into a rabbit, to monitor the interstitial glucose level. We then induced change of interstitial glucose concentration by oral glucose tolerance test. Although we expected the sensor to perform for more than 6 days, it performed for just 4 days as a sensor, due to bio fouling.

A Comparative Study of Suicide Rates among 10-19-Year-Olds in 29 OECD Countries.

Abstract: Objective This study had two main objectives: to compare current suicide rates in OECD countries among 10–19-year-olds and to identify patterns of suicide rates based on age, gender and time. Furthermore we investigated the main dimensions that contributed to the variation in child and adolescent suicide rates across countries.

Fast generation of three-dimensional video holograms by combined use of data compression and lookup table techniques

Abstract: Even though there are many types of methods to generate CGH (computer-generated hologram) patterns of three-dimensional (3D) objects, most of them have been applied to still images but not to video images due to their computational complexity in applications of 3D video holograms. A new method for fast computation of CGH patterns for 3D video images is proposed by combined use of data compression and lookup table techniques. Temporally redundant data of the 3D video images are removed with the differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) algorithm, and then the CGH patterns for these compressed videos are generated with the novel lookup table (N-LUT) technique. To confirm the feasibility of the proposed method, some experiments with test 3D videos are carried out, and the results are comparatively discussed with the conventional methods in terms of the number of object points and computation time.
