“…However, Diagnostics for All believes that the cost of these tests can be reduced to as low as $0.10, which is significantly lower than the current cheapest point-of-care instruments for blood chemistries, which cost about $2500 for the reading unit and $5 for each test. 305…”

“…Diagnostics for All has been approached by pharmaceutical companies to create accompanying sensors to monitor liver toxicity during the clinical trials for their drugs for HIV and TB. 305 Stifled growth in the developed world has given way to viable business propositions in the developing economies 311 . On one hand, it is forecast that seven countries (China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey) from the developing world will treble their GDP (Gross Domestic Product) by 2020 312 and, by 2050, Asia alone will account for 51% of the world's GDP, 313 thus making them an ideal place to invest.…”

Dipstick and lateral-flow formats have dominated rapid diagnostics over the last three decades. These formats gained popularity in the consumer markets due to their compactness, portability and facile interpretation without external instrumentation. However, lack of quantitation in measurements has challenged the demand of existing assay formats in consumer markets. Recently, paper-based microfluidics has emerged as a multiplexable point-of-care platform which might transcend the capabilities of existing assays in resource-limited settings. However, paper-based microfluidics can enable fluid handling and quantitative analysis for potential applications in healthcare, veterinary medicine, environmental monitoring and food safety. Currently, in its early development stages, paper-based microfluidics is considered a low-cost, lightweight, and disposable technology. The aim of this review is to discuss: (1) fabrication of paper-based microfluidic devices, (2) functionalisation of microfluidic components to increase the capabilities and the performance, (3) introduction of existing detection techniques to the paper platform and (4) exploration of extracting quantitative readouts via handheld devices and camera phones. Additionally, this review includes challenges to scaling up, commercialisation and regulatory issues. The factors which limit paper-based microfluidic devices to become real world products and future directions are also identified.

“…For instance, the frequency dependence of the digital to analog converter transfer function was not taken into account in the reconstruction of the GW strain amplitude channel h(t). This yielded a systematic error on h(t) which has been estimated to be 40% [32].…”

A search for gravitational wave burst events has been performed with the Virgo C7 commissioning run data that have been acquired in September 2005 over 5 days. It focused on unmodeled short duration signals in the frequency range 150 Hz to 2 kHz. A search aimed at detecting the GW emission from the merger and ring-down phases of binary black hole coalescences was also carried out. An extensive understanding of the data was required to be able to handle a burst search using the output of only one detector. A 90% confidence level upper limit on the number of expected events given the Virgo C7 sensitivity curve has been derived as a function of the signal strength, for unmodeled gravitational wave searches. The sensitivity of the analysis presented is, in terms of the root sum square strain amplitude, h rss 10 −20 Hz −1/2 . This can be interpreted in terms of a frequentist upper limit on the rate R 90% of detectable gravitational wave bursts at the level of 1.1 events per day at a 90% confidence level. From the binary black hole search, we obtained the distance reach at 50% and 90% efficiency as a function of the total mass of the final black hole. The maximal detection distance for non-spinning high and equal mass black hole binary system obtained by this analysis in C7 data is 2.9 ± 0.1 Mpc for a detection efficiency of 50% for a binary of total mass 80 M .

Dope and Deny: A Comparative Study of News Frames in American and Russian Coverage of American and Russian Athletes

This content analysis builds on past studies done on media coverage, rhetorical analyses, and journalistic role enactment by examining American and Russian news publications’ (N = 422) coverage of American and Russian doping scandals between 2013 and 2016. This time frame was selected because it was the height of Lance Armstrong and Major League Baseball doping coverage in the United States and the height of Olympic track-and-field doping coverage in Russia. It also fell between the time the World Anti-Doping Agency ratified its third code, which gave the antidoping organization the authority to conduct independent investigations. The study investigates media framing from the midpoint of the scandal, after the sports persona or sports entity denied using performance-enhancing drugs. Whether American and Russian coverage differ in the use of episodic and thematic frames, where blame is placed, and whether episodic or thematic framing predicts blame placement were all examined. Furthermore, the study investigates both nations’ coverage of “their own” athletes and of athletes from the other nation and analyzes whether or how the rhetorical posture of denial leads to adversarial journalism as a role enactment in coverage of sport-related scandals.
