We describe a new device concept for digital microfluidics, based on an active matrix electrowetting dielectric (AM-EWOD) device. A conventional EWOD is limited by the number of electrical connections that can be made practically, which restricts and type droplet operations. In AM-EWOD, patterned electrodes are replaced thin film transistor (TFT) array, as found in liquid crystal display (LCD), facilitating independent control each electrode. The arrays have many thousand individually...
An automated, rapid and sensitive detection system for antibiotic resistance encoding genes on an active matrix digital microfluidic platform.
Abstract In response to evidence of insect pollinator declines, organisations in many sectors, including the food and farming industry, are investing conservation. They keen ensure that their efforts use best available science. We convened a group 32 ‘conservation practitioners’ with an active interest pollinators 16 scientists. The conservation practitioners include representatives from UK industry (including retail), environmental non‐government nature agencies. collaboratively developed...
The latest developments in thin-film-transistor digital-microfluidics (TFT-DMF) are reported, and proof of concept application to molecular diagnostics (<italic>e.g.</italic> for coronavirus disease, COVID-19) at the point-of-need demonstrated.
Delivering access to sufficient food, energy and water resources ensure human wellbeing is a major concern for governments worldwide. However, it crucial account the 'nexus' of interactions between these natural consequent implications wellbeing. The private sector has critical role in driving positive change towards more sustainable nexus management could reap considerable benefits from collaboration with researchers devise solutions some foremost sustainability challenges today. Yet...
Increasing concerns about global environmental change and food security have focused attention on the need for environmentally sustainable agriculture. This is agriculture that makes efficient use of natural resources does not degrade systems underpin it, or deplete capital stocks. We convened a group 29 ‘practitioners’ 17 scientists with direct involvement expertise in sustainability The practitioners included representatives from UK industry, non-government organizations government...
The conjugate load/displacement method for elastic stability analysis is applied to square plates with a range of centrally located rectangular perforation sizes and shapes, subjected various in-plane loading conditions. Results are presented both fully fixed simply supported boundary conditions giving lowest buckling coefficients. increase coefficient the removal material, which occurs in many cases, explained.
Structural performance monitoring of bridges has increased as major infrastructure ages and is required to sustain loads that are significantly greater than those predicted during design. stiffness and/or mass distribution can change over the lifespan a bridge structure. Resulting changes in profile or resonant frequency provide key indicators change, may identify structural defects. Field tests using GPS for relatively small deformations were carried out on steel box girder viaduct UK. The...
The use of carrier phase kinematic GPS (global positioning system) has evolved into a reliable technique to measure both the three-dimensional magnitudes and frequencies movements structures. Techniques have been developed that tackle errors caused by multipath, tropospheric delay issues relating satellite geometry. GPS-derived compare well with data from design predictions structural models. Results field trials carried out on Forth Road Bridge are presented. This paper brings together key...

A 2.6 inch VGA active-matrix LCD has an integrated optical input function. The function may be used for touch or fingerprint recognition applications and is achieved by integrating image sensor elements within each display pixel. By using a 1-transistor active-pixel sensor, 30Hz, 300dpi with aperture ratio of 40%.
Abstract The first Bridge Monitoring surveying was carried out in 1996 by the authors, through attaching Ashtech ZXII GPS receivers onto Humber Bridge’ parapet, and gathering further analysing resulting 1 Hz RTK data. Various surveys have subsequently been conducted on Bridge, Millennium Forth Road Severn Suspension Avonmouth Viaduct. These were all using survey grade carrier phase/pseudorange later GNSS receivers. primarily dual frequency receivers, but work has also investigated use of...
Abstract Variation of Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) test values can have a significant effect on the Engineering Critical Assessment structure. This paper examines development CTOD with increasing load in an austenitic stainless steel. The silicone replication method giving variation across specimen thickness, and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) are compared to each other, turn clip gauge measurements from tests. Results Finite Element models also presented. Estimations BS 7448‐1,...
