Abstract This work examines critical design aspects of electrical conductance probes for measuring the liquid fraction in foams. These include the electrodes’ size, shape, separation distance and intrusiveness as well as issues such as the excitation current frequency, multiplexing, data reduction to liquid fraction, etc. Measurements are performed with ring type electrodes, flush mounted on a test vessel wall at different heights to provide a measure of the longitudinal variation of liquid fraction ...

This work describes a, single-camera, bubble measurement system, which features a template-based detection method. The motivation for the proposed approach is the poor performance of conventional methods towards bubble and particle detection in dense dispersions. The, poor, performance of such conventional approaches is reviewed, demonstrated and explained. The proposed approach utilizes templates to increase robustness and an image scale-space to detect bubbles independently of their size. Furthermore, ...

Loopedia is a new database at loopedia.org for information on Feynman integrals, intended to provide both bibliographic information as well as results made available by the community. Its bibliometry is complementary to that of SPIRES or arXiv in the sense that it admits searching for integrals by graph-theoretical objects, e.g. its topology.

Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is a chronic inflammatory connective tissue disorder with variable clinical presentations, that affects both adults and children. It is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the skin and underlying soft tissue, in certain cases even of the surrounding structures such as fascia, muscle, bone and central nervous system. While the etiology is still unknown, many factors may contribute to disease development, including genetic predisposition, vascular ...

Lichen sclerosus (LS) is an underdiagnosed inflammatory mucocutaneous condition affecting the anogenital areas. Postmenopausal women are predominantly affected and, to a lesser extent, men, prepubertal children, and adolescents. The etiology of LS is still unknown. Hormonal status, frequent trauma and autoimmune diseases are well-known associations for LS, yet infections do not seem to be clear risk factors. LS pathogenesis involves factors such as a genetic predisposition and an immune-mediated ...

Pemphigoid diseases are autoimmune chronic inflammatory skin diseases, which are characterized by blistering of the skin and/or mucous membranes, and circulating and tissue-bound autoantibodies. The well-established pathomechanisms comprise autoantibodies targeting various structural proteins located at the dermal-epidermal junction, leading to complement factor binding and activation. Several effector cells are thus attracted and activated, which in turn inflict characteristic tissue damage and ...

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a sialic acid synthesized by animals, but not by humans or birds. However, it can be incorporated in human cells and can trigger immune response. In the present study, we detected anti-Neu5Gc antibodies in samples of the general population and of patients suffering from hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's disease, which is known to have autoimmune origin.Antibodies were measured using enzyme-immunosorbent techniques.Serum anti-Neu5Gc IgG antibodies were higher in patients ...

ABSTRACT Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) and bullous lichen planus (BLP) are rare dermatoses, which are characterised by blisters and lichenoid lesions. Their clinical presentation is heterogenous, displaying overlapping features or mimicking other dermatological diseases. Therefore, diagnosis can often be challenging, requiring a thorough dermatological examination along with distinctive histological and immunopathological characteristics. Lichenoid degeneration of the basal epidermis exposes various ...

The entrapment of functionalized graphene, as filler, in polymeric conductive layers, such as polypyrrole (PPy), improves their engineering features. The objective was the association of graphene-PPy composite with nanosphere lithography generating hybrid polystyrene-graphene-PPy patterned platforms, seeking a further enhancement of their characteristics: an improved mechanical stability and electron transfer rate, combined with an increase of the active surface area. Additionally, the substrate ...

Autoimmune blistering diseases are a heterogenous group of dermatological disorders characterized by blisters and erosions of the skin and/or mucous membranes induced by autoantibodies against structural proteins of the desmosome or the dermal-epidermal adhesion complex including the hemidesmosome. They consist of the two major disease groups, pemphigus and pemphigoid diseases (PPDs). The diagnosis is based on clinical findings, histopathology, direct immunofluorescence, and detection of circulating ...

Identification of risk factors and sequelae of any given disease is of key importance. For common diseases, primary prevention and disease management are based on this knowledge. For orphan diseases, identification of risk factors and sequelae has been challenging. With the advent of large databases, e.g., TriNetX, this can now be addressed. We used TriNetX to identify risk factors and sequelae of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), a severe and orphan autoimmune disease. To date, there is only ...

A hybrid graphene-polypyrrole (PPy) composite-based platform was elaborated by using nanosphere lithography structuration. This platform was further used for the antibody anti-acetaminophen immobilization in order to obtain an immunosensor for selective detection of paracetamol (acetaminophen) by using electrochemical methods. After patterning of the composite layer, the five-fold improvement of electrochemical signal was observed, suggesting that a higher amount of antibody was immobilized. This ...
