Advances in improving

These areas all promise substantial advances in improving our environment, but will not yield that promise in an atmosphere of on-again, off-again funding. Stability in the EPA research program over several years is needed to attract the best scientific and engineering research talents to these problems and to allow them to work efficiently on their solution.

Immunoaffinitv assay The Irnmunoaffinity assay which Involves the use of an antibody column that traps the mycotoxins has been used for AFBl, AFMl and OTA (8, 9, 13, 36, 83,84). The toxin can be then eluted from the column for subsequent analysis or adsorbed In a solid-phase to which the fluorescence Is then read directly. Thus, the affinity column serves as a specific cleanup and concentration tool for the analysis. Recent advances In Improvement of Instrumentation of fluorescence detection and post-column derlvatlzatlon have led to a wider application of this method for AF detection. An AOAC collaborative study showing good result has been completed (85). In such an assay, AF extracted from the sample Is first diluted with buffer at pH 7.0 and then subjected to a disposable affinity column containing antl-AF antibody Sepharose gel. After washing, AF Is removed from the column with methanol, subjected to treatment with Iodine solution, and the fluorescence determined. Nevertheless, this method cannot be used for mycotoxins, such as TCTCs, which do not have high fluorescence or a chromophore. 

In conclusion, if the potential of recent technological advances in improved aerosol delivery devices is to be fully realized, it is important that we focus on how to get the aerosol to the right site according to the age, maturity, and disease status of the individual. This can be achieved only if both drug delivery and assessment of effectiveness are based on a firm knowledge of the underlying structure and function of the respiratory system in the individual concerned.

In the book Structure Formation in Polymeric Fibers, Cuculo et al. [210] demonstrated the substantial potential of enhancing fiber properties by judiciously controlling the threadline dynamics. In other words, the enhanced fiber properties result not only from higher quality of raw materials but also from improved fiber structures. Hence in this Section, focus will be on advances in improving performance of conventional fibers by manipulating fiber structures, i.e., molecular orientation and crystallization. 

Many of the significant advances in improving the performance of enzymatic fuel cells can be attributed to the introduction of rationally designed electrode materials, particularly the incorporation of nanoscale materials in macroscale architectures in order to improve electron transfer (ET) from the biocatalyst to the electrode [ 1 -9]. For enzymatic fuel cell electrodes, protein interaction and orientation at the nanoscale is imperative, as the enzyme must be positioned in such a way that its redox center can transfer electrons to the transducer surface [10-15]. Because the aspect ratio of a nanomaterial approaches the molecular scale, redox proteins can establish a close and direct association with the material and effectively decrease the electron tunneling distance. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), for example, have dimensions that are uniquely amenable to close physical association with proteins and can facilitate direct electronic interactions with redox catalysts [14]. The incorporation of CNTs into... 

In 1998, Lindinger et al. published a review on PTR-MS which included a summary of their medical applications up to that point in time and which also demonstrated advances in improved VOC detection sensitivity (by then to a few pptv) compared to that reached with their prototype instrument [77]. In that review, the online monitoring of the fast enzymatic conversion of isopropanol into acetone was demonstrated. 

Two key aspects are performance and processability. To meet future challenges in energy production and storage, medical technology, information technology and sustainable development we therefore require significant advancements in improving...
