Proceedings, Volume 1, Issue 2

This issue of Proceedings gathers the papers presented at the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications (ECSA-3), held online on 15–30 November 2016 through the sciforum.net platform developed by MDPI. The annual ECSA confer...

Poly-hydroxy-alcanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable and biocompatible polymers synthesized and accumulated in intracellular compartments in several bacterial species. Polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHAs) are synthesized by numerous prokaryotes, such as Cupriavi...

We propose the design of an environment-responsive, deployable origami-inspired structure to be used as a smart building skin. The folding structure is composed by rigid panels connected to each other through hinge-like connectors. The overall degree...

The determination of the pressures affecting vertical marine structures is far from being completely understood. The prototype instrumentation and testing of large-scale channels provide information useful for defining their behaviour at probabilisti...

Breath analysis is a powerful technique for detection of respiratory diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) present in breath...

In this talk, we demonstrate the realization of smart sensors and actuators through the exploitation of principles of nonlinear dynamics at the micro scale. Specifically, we demonstrate combining sensing and actuation into a single device through wha...

SPR technique possesses rich potential possibilities for investigation of different aspects of virus-specific agent interaction and modification of structure of viruses, induced by external factors. Аccording to World Health Organization, viruses of...

A novel and highly sensitive non-enzymatic glucose biosensor was developed by nucleating colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on MoS2. The facile fabrication method, high reproducibility (97.5%) and stability indicates a promising capability for l...

Today sensor data processing and information mining become more and more complex concerning the amount of sensor data to be processed, the data dimension, the data quality, and the relationship between derived information and input data. This is the...

Autonomous indoor service robots use the same passages which are used by people for navigation to specific areas. These robots are equipped with visual sensors, laser or sonar based range estimation sensors to avoid collision with obstacles, people,...
