In order to get ridded of the non real-time detection methods of artificial site sampled and laboratory instrument analyzed in the field of methane detection in the offshore shallow gas, real-time in-situ detection system for methane in offshore shallow gas was designed by the film interface.The methane in the offshore shallow gas through the gas-liquid separation membrane of polymer permeation into the system internal detection probe, analog infrared micro gas sensor sensed the methane concentration and the corresponded output value, data acquisition and communication node fitted into standard gas concentration.Based on the experimental data compared with the traditional detection method, and further analyzed the causes of error produced by the case experiment. The application results show that the system can achieve a single borehole layout, long-term on-line in-situ on-line detection, and improve the detection efficiency and the timeliness of the detection data.

AbstractThis paper presents a multiple magnetoelastic (ME) biosensor system for in-situ detection of S. typhimurium and B. anthracis spores in a flowing bacterial/spore suspension (5 x 101 - 5 x 108 cfu/ml). The ME biosensor was formed by immobilizing filamentous phage (specific to each detection target) on the ME platforms. An alternating magnetic field was used to resonate the ME biosensor to determine its resonance frequency. When cells/spores are bound to a ME biosensor surface, the additional mass of the cells/spores causes a decrease in the resonance frequency of the biosensor. The detection system was composed of a control sensor, an E2 phage-based biosensor (specific to S. typhimurium) and a JRB7 phage-based biosensor (specific to B. anthracis spores). The frequency response curves of the ME biosensors as a function of exposure time were then measured and the detection limit of the ME biosensor was observed to be 5 x 103 cfu/ml. The results show that phage-based ME biosensors can detect multiple pathogens simultaneously and offer good performance, including good sensitivity and rapid detection.

The set up and control of an underwater measuring instrument for radioactivity pollution in the marine environment is described. The detection system is based on a NaI scintillator (RADAM III) with modifications for use in the marine environment with on-line measurements. The system is simple, has low power consumption and is stable for long-term monitoring (10 months). Before its deployment, the sensor was calibrated in the laboratory in a tank full of water to reproduce the marine environment. The calibrations were performed, by detecting the 661keV and 1461 keV gamma rays of known activity liquid sources 137 Cs and 40 K, respectively. The measured spectra in the laboratory were compared with spectra from a similar detector as acquired in the field. The analysis of the parallel measurement gave satisfactory agreement for the concentration of the potassium (40 K), as calculated from the salinity in the seawater, thus enabling the system for quantitative measurement of the seawater radioactivity.

Multispectral autofluorescence lifetime imaging (maFLIM) can be used to clinically image a plurality of metabolic and biochemical autofluorescence biomarkers of oral epithelial dysplasia and cancer. This study tested the hypothesis that maFLIM-derived autofluorescence biomarkers can be used in machine-learning (ML) models to discriminate dysplastic and cancerous from healthy oral tissue. Clinical widefield maFLIM endoscopy imaging of cancerous and dysplastic oral lesions was performed at two clinical centers. Endoscopic maFLIM images from 34 patients acquired at one of the clinical centers were used to optimize ML models for automated discrimination of dysplastic and cancerous from healthy oral tissue. A computer-aided detection system was developed and applied to a set of endoscopic maFLIM images from 23 patients acquired at the other clinical center, and its performance was quantified in terms of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC). Discrimination of dysplastic and cancerous from healthy oral tissue was achieved with an ROC-AUC of 0.81. This study demonstrates the capabilities of widefield maFLIM endoscopy to clinically image autofluorescence biomarkers that can be used in ML models to discriminate dysplastic and cancerous from healthy oral tissue. Widefield maFLIM endoscopy thus holds potential for automated in situ detection of oral dysplasia and cancer.
