摘要:
A method for determining a size or shape related parameter of an effective observation volume for an observation technique for particles undergoing at least partially stochastic motion in a dispersion is based on a time-series of observations. The method involves determining one or more time-dependent characteristics of the dispersion or its particles based on the time-series of observations, determining at least one stochastic motion-related parameter representative for the at least partially stochastic motion of at least one particle in the dispersion, and determining a size or shape related parameter of the effective observation volume by modeling of the at least partially stochastic motion of the particle movement in the dispersion, the modeling taking into account the at least one stochastic motion-related parameter and the determined one or more characteristics.
摘要:
A method for altering and/or disrupting a microbiological film is described. The method comprises introducing a composition into a microbiological film, the composition comprising nano- or microparticles having an electron density that can couple with a photon wave of electromagnetic radiation. The method also comprises irradiating said microbiological film by said electromagnetic radiation such as to form a vapour bubbles using said nano- or microparticles in said microbiological biofilm, thereby generating a mechanical force for locally altering and/or disrupting said microbiological film when said vapour bubbles expand and/or collapse.
摘要:
A degradable oligomer or polymer aqueous solution or a degradable polymer hydrogel, wherein degradation occurs by cleavage of the oligomer or polymer backbone and/or, in the case of a hydrogel, by cleavage of cross-linking bonds within the hydrogel, is useful as a component of a time-controlled explosion bio-agent release system or a pulsed bio-agent delivery system comprising at least one biologically active agent and an outer semi-permeable lipid or polymer membrane, wherein bio-agent release or delivery begins after a lag time.
摘要:
A method for generating vapour bubbles in an object comprises introducing a composition into the object, the composition comprising carbon-based nano- or microparticles that can couple with a photon wave of electromagnetic radiation. The method also comprises irradiating said object using electromagnetic radiation. The irradiation thereby is adapted for using a set of carbon-based nano- or microparticles for subsequently forming first vapour bubbles and at least second vapour bubbles using the same carbon-based nano- or microparticles.
