Real-time sensors for indoor air monitoring and challenges ahead in deploying them to urban buildings.

Prashant Kumar, +6 more
- 01 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that awareness of IAQ risks and availability of appropriate regulation are lagging behind the technologies, and real-time sensing could bring a paradigm shift in controlling the concentration of key air pollutants in billions of urban houses worldwide.

Can disc diffusion susceptibility tests assess the antimicrobial activity of engineered nanoparticles

Angeliki Kourmouli, +9 more
- 02 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: Tests did not show any antibacterial effects of Au nanoparticles (NPs) as a result of their negligible diffusivity through the culture media, and Ag NPs exhibited a strong antimicrobial activity that was independent of their size.

Aerosol classification by electric mobility: apparatus, theory, and applications

E.O. Knutson, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1975 - 
TL;DR: An improved version of the Hewitt (differential) electric mobility analyzer was developed and its classifying characteristics were determined theoretically in this article, where the central mobility of the classified aerosol was found to be (qc + qm)/4πΛV, where qc and qm are the clean air and main outlet flows, respectively, and Λ is a geometric factor, and the center rod voltage.
