Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Applied Science is preparing a special issue on Advances on Bioelectronics, and we would like to invite you to write a piece on how engineering is contributing to biomedical/neuroscience. I think a forward-looking perspective on neural probes, microelectrodes, neuroprosthetics, implantable devices, and potentially other relevant techniques/applications would be informative for our readers. It would be extremely helpful to have a good sense of what people are writing and how their articles relate as we put this special issue together.

I realize this is rather vague, and I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on how to refine the content if you are interested. We would need a final draft (i.e., a draft ready for peer-review) by December 2019.

I hope you are willing to contribute a piece to Applied Science. Please let me know if you would like to further discuss this special issue.

Prof. Dr. Sung Il Park
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

General surgical procedures are subject to low-light conditions or a narrow angle of view, and such limitations in light limit visibility and complicate the given surgical procedure. Conventional lighted surgical tools rely on an external light source, which may be oriented into a cavity or mounted on a surgical instrument such as retractor, endoscopes, or suction tubes. However, such conventional lighted instruments do not provide adequate lighting during various surgical procedures. Here, we present a soft, miniaturized magnetic-enabled wireless surgical lighting patty. Specifically, the proposed surgical lighting patty that can be temporarily implanted into a cavity or surgical corridor provides lighting to the surgical subject and manages fluids in a surgical field. The surgical lighting patty is a multilayer patty, two outer layers of the lighted surgical patty and the center lighted layer. A reed switch in the central layer can activate the power supply in response to a magnet to emit the light from the light source. The result allows a dramatically simplified wireless operation. Moreover, it can provide various wavelengths of light to a surgical field for purposes such as illuminating the surgeon’s field of vision, exciting dyes, and sterilizing surgical fields. Full article

This article explores the heat and transport characteristics of electroosmotic flow augmented with peristaltic transport of incompressible Carreau fluid in a wavy microchannel. In order to determine the energy distribution, viscous dissipation is reckoned. Debye Hückel linearization and long wavelength assumptions are adopted. Resulting non-linear problem is analytically solved to examine the distribution and variation in velocity, temperature and volumetric flow rate within the Carreau fluid flow pattern through perturbation technique. This model is also suitable for a wide range of biological microfluidic applications and variation in velocity, temperature and volumetric flow rate within the Carreau fluid flow pattern.
