Actinomycetes were widely distributed in soil are the source of antibiotics. Antibiotic resistant pathogens pose an enormous threat to the treatment of wide range of serious infections. To overcome this emergence, a periodic replacement of the new and existing antibiotic is necessary, simultaneously doses also increasing day by day for the patients, which is carcinogen to the body. The pure form a...Show More
This paper describes, for the first time, the relative permittivity extraction of cells in their culture medium submitted to different stimuli by using a microwave biosensor, specifically developed to analyze single cells. The sensitive part of the device is constituted by a 5 μm coplanar gap, over which the cell is blocked by a mechanical trap. It allows to obtain the capacitive and conductive co...Show More
The development and impact of technology on our everyday lives cannot be compared with the world our ancestors lived in several decades ago. This is described as the world of technology (WoT). But despite all the advancements in technologies, understanding of the mechanisms of nature and the damages caused via natural disasters, such as earthquakes, landslides, and flooding to mention only a few, ...Show More
A hierarchical method for subpixel surface water mapping accounting for the high spectral heterogeneity of urban materials is proposed in this paper. Specifically, we first applied water index (WI) for remote sensing image classification at pixel level, afterwards, the land, water, and land-water mixture can be extracted automatically. Then the spectral mixture analysis (SMA) is applied to land-wa...Show More
