Opis

Many people have an incorrect concept of God as an angry taskmaster, which hinders them from coming to Him and receiving what Jesus died to purchase for them. Because God is actually full of love, He offers each person salvation, healing, deliverance, peace, and every other good thing listed in His Word. In BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE, previously published by Harrison House, Gloria Copeland shows readers how to embrace God's goodness and learn to trust Him with every area of their lives. She confirms, "Only by placing our lives in His hands can we open the way for Him to save us, and bless us, and work through us," generating lives of faith, hope, and confidence.

This book covers two key topics in Lab-on-Chips. The first topic, rapid pathogen detection, is of the utmost importance for human health and safety reasons. The most common problem encountered with current pathogen monitoring techniques is the inverse relationship between specificity and speed. One strategy to overcome this challenge is to develop a front-end technology that can quickly concentrate an environmental sample and by doing so improves the signal to noise ratio in the back-end assay. We have thus explored the suitability of an insulator based dielectrophoretic (iDEP) pressure-driven microfluidic device which provides an elegant means of achieving selective biophysical sample concentration. For the second topic, I will describe a pulse generating microfluidic device for single cell analysis. At present, single cell analysis is challenging since it requires single cell trapping and local biofluidic delivery. To address this need, I have designed and fabricated a microfluidic device that can trap an array of cells and deliver pulsed biochemical reagent to these cells.
