Traditional culturing methods are still commonly applied for bacterial identification in the food control sector, despite being time and labor intensive. Microarray technologies represent an interesting alternative. However, they require higher costs and technical expertise, making them still inappropriate for microbial routine analysis. The present study describes the development of an efficient method for bacterial identification based on flow-through reverse dot-blot (FT-RDB) hybridization on membranes, coupled to the high specific ligation detection reaction (LDR). First, the methodology was optimized by testing different types of ligase enzymes, labeling, and membranes. Furthermore, specific oligonucleotide probes were designed based on the 16S rRNA gene, using the bioinformatic tool Oligonucleotide Retrieving for Molecular Applications (ORMA). Four probes were selected and synthesized, being specific forAeromonasspp.,Pseudomonasspp.,Shewanellaspp., andMorganella morganii, respectively. For the validation of the probes, 16 reference strains from type culture collections were tested by LDR and FT-RDB hybridization using universal arrays spotted onto membranes. In conclusion, the described methodology could be applied for the rapid, accurate, and cost-effective identification of bacterial species, exhibiting special relevance in food safety and quality.

Electroosmotic flow can be employed in many microfluidic systems. Especially, highly porous materials are suitable since they generate significant flow rates and pressures. In the current research, we employ electroosmosis experiments using a relatively simple and cost-effective set-up including different sets of sintered packed beds of borosilicate micro spheres having a wider range of porosities. Various experiments are performed with varying applied electric field, and packed bed porosity. The flow rates are measured by tracking the air/liquid interface in a capillary which is connected to the packed bed. A mathematical model of the setup reveals the influence of the capillary flow on the flow rate of the electroosmotic flow.

This paper is about an automatic irrigation control system which is cost effective and can be used for irrigation by a farmer. Today’s industrial automation and controlling of machine is high in cost and not suitable for a farming field. So, here we design a smart drip irrigation technology with effective control system in low cost. The voltage monitoring unit informs the farmer about the power supply conditions on the field. The aim of this study, is to control the motor automatically, and decide the direction of the water flow through valves, based on the inputs from the farmer and also with the collective inputs from the sensors, which finally notify instantly about the happenings and conditions of the field. It operates under low hardware cost by distributing irrigation to crops by elevation change and gravity. The soil moisture and amount of flow of water in each sector are major consideration to design a fail-safe system for a variety of crops planted at a time.

A municipality water reticulation R22 ground-coupled reversible heat pump, was investigated as an alternative to conventional air source systems. The study covers the testing of a heating and cooling system that utilises the ground as its source. The ground source comprises of a municipality water supply line that is modified to allow water to flow through the outdoor coil thus delivering or extracting heat from the system. The investigation was conducted by developing analytical models that were used for the design of a ground-coupled reversible heat pump and a conventional, also reversible air-to-air system. The models were verified with a commercially available computer program as well as with measurements on the two systems. The results show an overall increase in performance with the use of a ground source system over the conventional air source systems. Thus the ground-coupled reversible heat pump system can provide a cost effective alternative to the more conventional air-to-air systems.

Abstract Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) are cost-effective point-of-care diagnostic devices. μPADs consist of porous filter paper patterned with hydrophobic solid ink barriers to create flow channels. Because a liquid sample flows through the paper channel driven by capillary force, the resultant flow is usually slow. To overcome this limitation, a hollow channel can be added to a μPAD to increase the flow speed significantly. The liquid flow through the hollow channel is known to be driven by a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the device. Accordingly, theoretical models have been proposed to understand and predict flow characteristics of μPADs with hollow channels. The goal of this study is to experimentally characterize liquid flow through μPADs having a hollow channel, by investigating relationships among the travel distance of the liquid front through the μPADs, the applied pressure difference, and the dimension of the hollow channel. Thus, the outcome of this study would contribute to validating the theoretical models and enable better control of liquid sample flow in μPADs with hollow channels.

<p>In order to fully consider the influence of the existing facilities and the society on the design of the urban drainage and drainage pipe network, it is necessary to analyze the technical aspects of the drainage structure, elevation, structure, construction technology and other functions and cost influence, through the analysis and calculation of the listed of a number of alternatives to optimize. In the actual transformation of the application, especially for the natural flow through the gravity of the rainwater system, the vault relative to the circular pipe is more appropriate, can be used as the first choice, and according to different circumstances, the parameters of the culvert can be optimized through the calculation has been determined for cost-effective of the program and parameters.</p>

The evaluation of treatments such as embolization, stereotactic radiation, and even surgery would be enhanced by an objective method of measuring flow in feeding arteries or draining veins. We developed a non-invasive method of measuring vascular flow using cardiac gated phase contrast MR angiography (MR Q flow). The purpose of this work was to employ the same technique in a series of patients with vascular malformations of the head and neck. We selected a series of vascular malformations with simple arterial and venous architecture and significantly smaller vessel diameters than that encountered with Vein of Galen Malformations. Our aim was to determine the reproducibility of the derived flow values by using multiple velocity encoded sequences (VENC) and compare the values derived from the arterial feeders to the venous outflow data. There are inherent technical difficulties with assessing flow through multiple arterial feeders or draining veins, so the technique is most easily applied to AVMs with simple, easily defined feeding arteries or draining veins. Nonetheless, this technique is relatively straightforward to learn, rapid, cost-effective and may provide an objective means to assess therapeutic maneuvers when applied to head and neck vascular malformations.
