A biosensor is an integrated bioanalytical device that employs biological elements, as analyte sensor, coupled to a transducer for signal detection. Biosensor provides sensitive and selective determination of various compounds of analytical relevance. Recently, use of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is gaining attention as biosensor matrix. SAM provides a simple route to functionalize electrode surfaces for biosensor fabrication. The alarming r...

This book gives the theoretical description and practical measurement of the neutron and gamma spatial distribution in the radial experimental channel at VR-1 research reactor. For providing these measurements two experimental techniques were explained and used: off-line and on-line methods. On-line measurement of neutron spatial distribution was performed with He-3 gas filled detector. From off-line measurements Neutron Activation Analysis (f...
