The approach involved the binding of dibenzocyclooctyne-amine (DBCO-NH2) onto the azide-thiol modified gold microelectrodes. The use of dibenzocyclooctynes decreased the activation energy for the cycloaddition click reaction, enabling its realization without the need for copper catalysis and with an efficiency greater than that of the copper catalysed ligation. Then, the biofunctionalization was performed through incubating the prepared sensor in the capture antibody of IL-10 (Anti-IL-10). The conjugation was formed via carbodiimide cross-linking and cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used for characterizing step-by-step the modification of the gold microelectrode.","PeriodicalId":207918,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131066363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mesh builds the basis for the reconstruction of the conductivity distributions from real human thorax voltage measurements. Post-processing techniques, such as the K-means method and the region based segmentation, have also been implemented. The resulting re-constructed images reflect the conductivity changes during the breathing cycle and by post-processing artifacts are eliminated leading to a clear image of the lungs and the heart.","PeriodicalId":207918,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS)","volume":"77 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131424707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a neural implant is placed within a body, its EIS is modified by the interaction of the material with cells and by action of the biological tissue itself. Classical impedance meters are not practical for measurements on animal models and hence not suited for the in vivo follow-up of such BCI. The present study describes a portable device based on homemade electronic shields compatible with classical microcontrollers that can measure the EIS. EIS measurements concerning a subretinal diamond implant inserted chronically in the eye of a wild-type rat eye are performed with this custom impedance meter and presented here. This low-cost on-board wireless impedance meter can be used for a large range of applications.","PeriodicalId":207918,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129103686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The corrosion process is launched by an iron plate on the surface of the limestone imbibed in the brine. The complex dielectric properties from 50 MHz to 1.5 GHz have been measured since most ground penetrating radar (GPR) applications cover this frequency band. To analyse the dielectric relaxation associated with the corrosion products (mainly Fe rust, mixture of hematite and magnetite), the dielectric modulus has been used as a tool to suppress the influence of an apparent direct current conductivity ($sigma_{dc}$) brought by the imbibition in the brine. By finding out the feature relaxation peak of the Fe rust at a certain frequency, the content of Fe rust in the limestone can be estimated by the application of the complex refractive index model (CRIM). We hope that this study on the dielectric relaxation of Fe rust in limestone under saline environment can serve as a model which can eventually adapt for concrete structures in our future works.","PeriodicalId":207918,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121215935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
