The characterization of the mechanical properties of the cell is of great importance for estimating its biological state and physiology. Among the different measurement techniques, through the microrheometer it is possible to characterize the viscoelastic properties. In this report we consider a measurement experiment of a paramagnetic bead microrheometer and Read more…
The equivalent circuit model for a parallel electrode impedance cytometer is analyzed together with Maxwell’s theory of homogenization of mixtures. It deals with both single shell and double shell cell modeling. The results show that even small errors in parameter estimation lead to variations in model predictions. Furthermore, the possibility Read more…
Glucose is essential for human life and its concentration in the blood is strictly regulated. Alterations in blood glucose are a sign of numerous diseases and several clinical tests are used for diagnosis. The IVGTT test is a clinical exam that analyzes two important parameters such as the efficacy of Read more…
In impedance cytometry, various design and post processing techniques have been developed to improve measurement accuracy. One of the parameters that most afflicts cytometry measurements is the dependence of the signal on the position of the cell within the channel so that identical cells, passing in different positions, give rise Read more…
A linear model of lung mechanics is analyzed in the following report. The model corresponds to an RLC circuit with unknown parameters. Parametric identification allows to trace the system governance coefficients once a mathematical model has been estimated. Different approaches allow to minimize the difference between the estimated parameters and Read more…
The concept of “customization” has become quite common nowadays, especially when it comes to the technological field: a certain object becomes of interest to us when it satisfies our specific needs, whatever they may be. The importance of personalization is further accentuated when we talk about technologies for the health Read more…
