This paper is a review about endocrine disruptor's detection in water. In order to monitor
these pollutants, there are some methods for detection such as chromatographic …

Vibration-based energy harvesting has been widely investigated as a means to generate
low levels of electrical energy for applications such as wireless sensor networks. However …

A fast atomic force microscope (AFM) has been developed that can be installed as a sample
holder for grazing-incidence X-ray experiments at solid/gas or solid/liquid interfaces. It …

We present an electrical feedback method for independent and simultaneous tuning of both
the resonance frequency and the quality factor of a harmonic oscillator, the so called “qPlus” …

We present a semi-numerical method for solving the dynamics of microplates in viscous
fluids. The method is based on the Kirchhoff plate equation with a hydrodynamic force …
