In this work, a novel electrochemical biosensor has been fabricated based on step-by-step modification of aglassy carbon electrode (GCE) with methylene blue (MB)-DNA/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-chitosan (CS)/palladium ...

In this work, a novel impedimetric biosensor has been fabricated for detection of DNA damage induced by doxorubicin (DX). Cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) is required for electron transfer from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ...

This paper deals with the crack detection in structural elements by means of a genetic algorithm optimization method. The crack model takes into account the existence of contact between the interfaces of the crack. Many ...

Many structural elements are exposed to load conditions that are difficult to model during the design phase, such as environmental uncertainties, random impacts, and overloading, amongst others, thus increasing unprogrammed ...

In this work, a novel biosensor was fabricated for detection of DNA damage induced by 4-nonylphenol (NP) and also determination of NP. To achieve this goal, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with chitosan (Chit), ...

Because of its characteristics, the comet assay has been used to evaluate the ability of virtually any type of eukaryotic cell to repair different kinds of DNA damage, including double and single strand breaks and base ...

The concrete structures often suffer several kinds of damages over their service life. Therefore, it is extremely important to identify these damages, as soon as possible, in order to take preventive actions for the ...

In this work, we propose a novel application of ERIC-PCR technique to study DNA damage after ultraviolet radiation (UV) and peracetic acid (PAA) treatment for water disinfection purpose. The efficacy of both treatments on ...
