Discussion. In vitro examinations revealed that although Au@POAP NPs (with a mean size of 9.8 nm) alone represented concentration-dependent cytotoxicity against the B16/F10 cell line, multistep ultrasound irradiation (1 MHz frequency, 1.0 W/cm 2 intensity, 60 s irradiation time) of the cells in the attendance of Au@POAP NPs led to …

Self-assembling of undecanthiol (C11SH) on polycrystalline gold was investigated under two different conditions. The kinetics of C11SH grafting was studied without and under high frequency ultrasound irradiation. Two electrochemical experiments were extensively carried out in order to determine elec …

Ultrasound is sound that has a frequency above the range of human hearing, which is about 20,000 cycles per second or 20 KHz. Diagnostic ultrasound is generated by a vibrating source in a transducer, called the piezoelectric crystal, which is placed on the surface of the skin. The transducer causes molecules in the medium (tissue) also to vibrate.

firms that the higher frequency components are attenuated more in the PDMS layer overlying the acoustic source. The heat transition time from the gold nanoparticles to PDMS is about 100 fs, which is much shorter than the pulse duration. Fast heat transfer like this will generate ultrasound with higher frequency components.

The 28-kHz ultrasonic transducer with a power up to 100 W was attached to the bottom of the flotation cell. The pyrite samples were oxidized in H 2 O 2 solution for 12 min and 20 min. In Fig. 12, after ultrasonic treatment with 0.9-W/cm 2 energy density for 20 s, the contact angle of pyrite was improved by about 30°.

Ultrasound is used in medicine to painlessly and noninvasively monitor patient health and diagnose a wide range of disorders. (credit: abbybatchelder, Flickr) Any sound with a frequency above 20,000 Hz (or 20 kHz)—that is, above the highest audible frequency—is defined to be ultrasound. In practice, it is possible to create ultrasound ...

UCSF Radiologist Dr. Callen explains what the word ultrasound means and how ultrasound imaging works. Humans hear sound between 20 and 20,000 Hz. Ultrasound uses frequencies of sound which is 2-15 MHZ, far above range in normal daily life. Ultrasound started with sonar, sending beam in the water and hits the submarine and it …

He then placed the ore in the cup of an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner and turned it on. According to him, gold particles settled to the bottom of the cup and, as more black sand was added, waste tailings overflowed the cup. He claimed to have recovered over 95% of the gold from about 100 litres of black sand this way which is very …

Acid mine drainage/lakes (AMD/AMLs) have a low pH with high concentrations of metals and sulfate and have been a major environmental problem in the Can Coal Basin, in northwestern Turkey. In this study, metal removal from Hayirtepe AML by using fly ash (FA) and modified fly ash (MFA) was investigated in batch experiments. …

Transducer Morphology. In this work, three kinds of transducers with center frequencies of 100 MHz, 200 MHz and 300 MHz were fabricated and labelled as "LN_100", "LN_200" and "LN_300".

The SU-8 was spin coated on a glass substrate to act as an FP cavity to detect ultrasound. Two gold layers were coated on the two surfaces of the SU-8 to increase the reflectivity. The pulsed-echo ultrasound signals showed a central frequency at 30 MHz with a bandwidth at least 40 MHz. The transmitter can be potentially used as …

Higher-frequency ultrasound would allow greater detail, but it does not penetrate as well as lower frequencies do. The accepted rule of thumb is that you can effectively scan to a depth of about (500 lambda) into tissue. For 7 MHz, this penetration limit is (500 times 0.22 mm), which is 0.11 m. Higher frequencies may be employed in ...

Ultrasound US was applied to metal polluted mine tailings as bioleaching pre-treatment. • Two frequencies (37, 80 kHz) energy dosages (0–18 kJ g −1) and biostimulation was used. • US application increased the leaching rate of Fe, Al, Zn, Mn, and Cu. • A maximum bioleaching rate was obtained using 80 kHz and 10–15 kJ g −1. •

An Explanation of Ultrasonics. Ultrasonic cleaning is a result of sound waves introduced into a cleaning liquid by means of a series of "transducers" mounted to the cleaning tank. The sound travels throughout the tank and creates waves of compression and expansion in the liquid. In the compression wave, the molecules of the cleaning liquid ...

Calculate Velocity of Blood: Doppler-Shifted Ultrasound. Ultrasound that has a frequency of 2.50 MHz is sent toward blood in an artery that is moving toward the source at 20.0 cm/s, as illustrated in Figure 17.46. Use the speed of sound in human tissue as 1540 m/s. (Assume that the frequency of 2.50 MHz is accurate to seven significant figures.)
