It has been known for over a century that the CA1 subregion of the hippocampus is more vulnerable than the CA3 to ischemic damage. While many studies have been conducted the exact mechanism is still unknown. Ectopeptidases are membrane-bound enzymes whose catalytic domains face the extracellular space. Traditionally, their role was believed to only involve clearance of active peptides but recent studies have shown that they play an important role in regulating peptide activity. Here we report the quantitative measurement of ectopeptidase activity using electroosmotic push-pull perfusion coupled to offline capillary liquid chromatography. This method revealed a three-fold higher aminopeptidase activity hydrolyzing the neuroprotective peptide Leu-enkephalin in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus. Inhibition of the higher aminopeptidase activity in the CA1 selectively protects this region from ischemic damage due to oxygen-glucose deprivation. This is the first report of spatially-resolved ...

A microchip integrated microfabricated, microfluidic, multichannel, preferably electroosmotic pump and pumping system is disclosed. The electroosmotic pump of the invention comprises a plurality of mi

The techniques for a dynamic and permanent reversal of the electroosmotic flow (EOF) were used for the reversal of the enantiomer migration order (EMO) of neutral and cationic analytes in chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE). Native beta-Cd and an anionic CD derivative, CM-beta-CD were used in both, bare silica- and positively coated capillaries. Advantages and disadvantages of a dynamic and permanent modification of the capillary inner surface are briefly discussed.

The hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of electroosmotic and pressure-driven flows of power-law fluids are examined in a semicircular microchannel under the constant wall heat flux condition. For sufficiently large values of the electrokinetic radius, the Debye length is thin; the active flow within the electric double layer (EDL) drags the rest of the liquid due to frictional forces arising from the fluid viscosity, and consequently a plug-like velocity profile is attained. The velocity ratio can affect the pure electrokinetic flow as well as the flow rate depending on the applied pressure gradient direction. Since the effective viscosity of shear-thinning fluids near the wall is quite small compared to the shear-thickening fluids, the former exhibits higher dimensionless velocities than the later close to the wall; the reverse is true at the middle section. Poiseuille number increases with increasing the flow behavior index and/or the electrokinetic radius. Due to the comparatively ...

To demonstrate the power of multilayer soft lithography, we fabricated active valves and pumps. Monolithic elastomeric valves and pumps, like other mechanical microfluidic devices, avoid several practical problems affecting flow systems based on electroosmotic flow (8,9, 20, 27-29) or dielectrophoresis (30, 31), such as electrolytic bubble formation around the electrodes and a strong dependence of flow on the composition of the flow medium (32-34). Electrolytic bubble formation, although not a problem for laboratory devices, seriously restricts the use of electroosmotic flow in integrated microfluidic devices. Also, neither electroosmotic nor dielectrophoretic flow can easily be used to stop flow or balance pressure differences.. We fabricated our valves using a crossed-channel architecture (Fig. 1A). Typical channels are 100 μm wide and 10 μm high, making the active area of the valve 100 μm by 100 μm. The membrane of polymer between the channels is engineered to be relatively thin ...

Electric fields can be used to concentrate, pattern, and sort various sized colloidal particles, droplets, and bubbles. Electrokinetic phenomena such as electrophoresis, electroosmosis, dielectrophoresis, electrothermal flows, induced charge electrokinetics, and electrohydrodynamic, are at play during these processes leading to direct or indirect manipulation of these colloidal scale objects. Fundamental and applied papers pertaining to the assembly, transport, or deformation of particles, droplets and/or bubbles using electrokinetics or related physical phenomena are welcome. Papers that include microfluidics, interfacial deformation or separations, and assembly for advanced materials are encouraged.. ...

A membrane with both high ion conductivity and selectivity is critical to high power density and low-cost flow batteries, which are of great importance for the wide application of renewable energies. The trade-off between ion selectivity and conductivity is a bottleneck of ion conductive membranes. In this paper, a thin-film composite membrane with ultrathin polyamide selective layer is found to break the trade-off between ion selectivity and conductivity, and dramatically improve the power density of a flow battery. As a result, a vanadium flow battery with a thin-film composite membrane achieves energy efficiency higher than 80% at a current density of 260 mA cm−2, which is the highest ever reported to the best of our knowledge. Combining experiments and theoretical calculation, we propose that the high performance is attributed to the proton transfer via Grotthuss mechanism and Vehicle mechanism in sub-1 nm pores of the ultrathin polyamide selective layer. Low-cost flow batteries with high power

TY - JOUR. T1 - Dentate development in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures from p35 knockout mice. AU - Wenzel, H. Jürgen. AU - Tamse, Catherine T.. AU - Schwartzkroin, Philip A. PY - 2006/12. Y1 - 2006/12. N2 - Abnormal brain development, induced by genetic influences or resulting from a perinatal trauma, has been recognized as a cause of seizure disorders. To understand how and when these structural abnormalities form, and how they are involved in epileptogenesis, it is important to generate and investigate animal models. We have studied one such model, a mouse in which deletion of the p35 gene (p35-/-) gives rise to both structural disorganization and seizure-like function. We now report that aberrant dentate development can be recognized in the organotypic hippocampal slice culture preparation generated from p35-/- mouse pups. In these p35-/- cultures, an abnormally high proportion of dentate granule cells migrates into the hilus and molecular layer, and develops aberrant dendritic and ...

In capillary electrophoresis systems, real-time monitoring and measurement of the electroosmotic flow through a separation capillary is accomplished by coupling the outlet of the separation capillary to an electrically-conductive junction. In one embodiment, this junction is an ion-impermeable or an ion-exchange membrane unit that preferentially exchanges ions having a charge opposite to analyte ions of interest. Within a downstream region of the junction, all axial incremental voltage from the electroosmotic voltage source is terminated, which ensures that downstream electrolyte ion movement is passive, due to active flow created upstream when an incremental axial voltage existed. Upstream electrolyte ion flux is proportional to C1 (μe +μeo), where C1 is the upstream concentration of the electrolyte ion of interest, μe is the electrolyte electrophoretic mobility, and μeo is the electroosmotic mobility. Downstream, the flux is proportional to C2 μeo, where C2 is the downstream concentration of

Thermally developing electroosmotically generated flow of two viscoelastic fluids, namely the PTT and FENE-P models, through a slit microchannel is considered. Both the viscous dissipation and Joule heating effects are taken into account and a step change in wall temperature is considered to represent physically conceivable thermal entrance conditions. Expressions for the dimensionless temperature and Nusselt number in the form of infinite series are presented. In general, the resultant eigenvalue problem is solved numerically; nevertheless, an analytical solution is presented for the regions close to the entrance. A parametric study reveals that increasing amounts of the Peclet number result in higher wall heat fluxes. The results also indicate higher wall heat fluxes for non-Newtonian fluids in comparison with Newtonian fluids and the difference is increased with increasing the level of elasticity. Furthermore, based on the value of the dimensionless Joule heating parameter, the Nusselt number ...

Research in bioelectronics studies biological systems and materials in combination with electronic interfaces for the development of devices, e.g., for medical applications, drug and toxicity tests, and biotechnology in general. Neural implants and pacemakers are examples of products developed from this area of research. Conducting polymers such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) bridge biology and electronics with a combination of biocompatibility, flexibility, and capability to themselves undergo redox reactions. Electrokinetics, a related branch of science, describes the motion of fluids and particles caused by the application of an electric field, and includes various separation techniques such as gel electrophoresis. Applying an electric field in a sufficiently small diameter silica capillary can cause the liquid in the capillary to move. This phenomenon, referred to as electroosmosis, plays an important role in miniaturized microfluidic systems and can be used to drive flow in a ...

We have demonstrated the dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DmNaP) is delivered most efficiently from the negative electrode by iontophoresis, but, under certain conditions, the delivery from the positive electrode by electroosmosis can be accomplished. The laboratory data indicate that more dexamethasone is delivered per mA-min by iontophoresis than by electtoomosis, thus the same amount of drug can be administered in a shorter time from the negative electrode. Electrodes containing a hydrogel material, which restricts bulk water transport, delivered DmNaP most efficiently from the electrode of a negative polarity. When DmNaP is to be delivered in a mixture with another drug such as lidocaine, selection of the clinical treatment protocol depends on the desired therapeutic effect on the iontophoreic electrode which is to be used. When minimization of total treatment time is not critical, switching polarity of the electrode during the treatment can be used to administer drugs of opposite polarity ...

The BH3 interacting-domain death agonist (BID) is a pro-apoptotic protein involved in death receptor-induced and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Recently, it has also been suggested that BID is involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses in the central nervous system. We found that BID deficiency protected organotypic hippocampal slice cultures in vitro from neuronal injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation. In vivo, BID-knockout (KO) mice and WT mice were subjected to 60 minutes of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion to induce focal cerebral ischemia, and allowed to recover for 24 hours. Infarct volumes and functional outcome were assessed and the inflammatory response was evaluated using immunofluorescence, Western blotting, quantitative PCR and Mesoscale multiplex analysis. We observed no difference in the infarct volume or neurological outcome between BID-KO and WT mice. The inflammatory response was reduced by BID deficiency as indicated by a change in microglial/leukocyte

The membrane is the secret to making the whole thing both economical and durable. Most flow batteries today use flourinated membranes which are expensive - up to 20% of the total cost of a battery. Cheaper membranes simply dont stand up very long to the highly alkaline environment found inside a typical flow battery.. According to research paper published recently in the journal Joule, scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab say they have have developed a versatile yet affordable battery membrane from a class of polymers known as AquaPIMs. These polymers make inexpensive and long lasting grid batteries possible based solely on abundant materials such as zinc, iron, and water. AquaPIM membranes work with different battery chemistries, from metals and inorganics to organics and polymers, and they help create stable cells which last far longer before degrading.. The team also developed a simple computer modeling technique that shows how different battery membranes impact the life ...

Large-scale energy storage is becoming increasingly critical to balancing renewable energy production and consumption1. Organic redox flow batteries, made from inexpensive and sustainable redox-active materials, are promising storage technologies that are cheaper and less environmentally hazardous than vanadium-based batteries, but they have shorter lifetimes and lower energy density2,3. Thus, fundamental insight at the molecular level is required to improve performance4,5. Here we report two in situ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods of studying redox flow batteries, which are applied to two redox-active electrolytes: 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHAQ) and 4,4′-((9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-diyl)dioxy) dibutyrate (DBEAQ). In the first method, we monitor the changes in the 1H NMR shift of the liquid electrolyte as it flows out of the electrochemical cell. In the second method, we observe the changes that occur simultaneously in the positive and negative electrodes in the full electrochemical ...

Authors: YUE LIU, LI XIE, XIAOXUE FAN, DINGYAN FAN, SHASHENG HUANG Abstract: Gold nanochannels were prepared by plating electrolessly gold within the pores of polycarbonate filter membranes (PCTMs). These PCTMs with cylindrical Au nanotubules of uniform radius and high density can be used as a convenient model system to investigate the mechanism of particle transport through nanotubules. The transport properties of phenol through a modified Au nanotubule membrane were studied. The permeate flux of phenol transport through the nanotubule membrane can be spatially and temporally manipulated by controlling the magnitude and direction of the current applied across the separation cell, and the electroosmotic flow (EOF) was investigated by measuring the flux of phenol across the PCTM. The current values and modification of nanotubules affected the EOF generated inside the nanotubules. The permeation flux of phenol through the nanotubule membrane can be easily changed by modifying the Au nanotubules ...

There is a great interest to quantitatively manipulate, separate, and deliver low concentrations or even single biomolecules in submicrometer-sized channels. We report the use of cross-linked four-star polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a new coating technique for microchannels. PEG-coating efficiently reduces the electroosmotic flow (EOF) and non-specific adsorption to the glass walls. Our results demonstrate that individual fluorescently labeled hydrophobic cell adhesion proteins (fibronectin molecules) can be drawn through PEG-coated submicrometer pipettes in aqueous solution by electrokinetic forces without the addition of detergents or other additives which potentially deteriorate the activity and specificity of biomolecules.

The dimensions of microfluidic devices closely parallel those of biological cells; thusly, they are excellent platforms for the speciation, transport, manipulation, and analysis of cells. Electrokinetic transport of Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was evaluated in microfluidic devices fabricated in pristine and UV-modified poly(methylmethacrylate) and polycarbonate. The magnitude and direction of transport of the cells was dictated by the buffer composition, conduit surface chemistry, and intrinsic cellular electrical properties. Bakers yeast in all devices migrated toward the cathode, because of their smaller electrophoretic mobility compared to the electroosmotic flow of the polymer. E. coli cells suspended in 20 mM PBS migrated toward the anode, which indicated that the apparent mobility of the E. coli cells changed direction at higher ionic strengths. The observed differential migrations were exploited to sort cells, whereby judicious choice of the buffer concentration and the ...

More and more electricity is being generated from intermittent sources of power, such as solar and wind energy. Powerful electric energy storage devices are necessary to level out corresponding irregularities in the power supply. Fraunhofer scientists have recently made an important breakthrough with their development of a redox flow battery that reaches stack power up to 25 kW, with a cell size of 0.5 square meters. This is eight times larger than the previous A4-sized systems. They will be presenting the new battery for the first time at the Hannover Messe trade show (from April 8-12).

But what the CEO said is spot on! The power grid was created to shove energy down the line and that was about it. If the CEO of this company can see that power distribution needs to change then I can admit they can fulfill a niche and carve out a space that adds benefit to the distribution of power. I mean there is no great battle but more of an armistice where boarders are redrawn and resources split. Unless the Li-ion market collapses (grapheme-aluminum-oxygen battery is made in production volumes) then last gasp, no man standing, fight to the death, could be the norm. But in the upcoming decade, yes, our grid is going to change drastically. I see flow batteries at the power stations, spread out among neighborhoods, even at office buildings and hospitals. AMS can play their role too maybe sell the farm, get rich, and provide the software to load balance/shift battery power around. Who knows? But something to keep an eye on ...

The use of ambipolar redox active materials comprised of electron rich and electron poor groups (donor-acceptor strategy) is proposed to generate molecules with tuneable redox potentials. This allows their implementation on both the positive as negative half-cell of the battery, avoiding capacity loss by crossover. An iterative design strategy will be used to build a library of compounds that will be screened for reversible redox chemistry and stability. New membranes separating the half cells will be developed and matched with redox materials that passed the first screening, testing for compatibility and crossover rates. Finally, all components will be combined and studied in prototype flow batteries. Results from these studies will be used as input for computational modelling in order to predict a new generation of redox compounds and improved membrane design. This ultimately leads to a detailed understanding on their structure-property relations and development of materials that can be used ...

HIGH PERFORMANCE FLOW BATTERY - High performance flow batteries, based on alkaline zinc/ferro-ferricyanide rechargeable (ZnFe) and similar flow batteries, may include one or more of the following improvements. First, the battery design has a cell stack comprising a low resistance positive electrode in at least one positive half cell and a low resistance negative electrode in at least one negative half cell, where the positive electrode and negative electrode resistances are selected for uniform high current density across a region of the cell stack. Second, a flow of electrolyte, such as zinc species in the ZnFe battery, with a high level of mixing through at least one negative half cell in a Zn deposition region proximate a deposition surface where the electrolyte close to the deposition surface has sufficiently high zinc concentration for deposition rates on the deposition surface that sustain the uniform high current density. The mixing in the flow may be induced by structures such as: ...
