With over 25 years of experience and zero missed deadlines, you will be delighted with the work and customer service I provide. Transcription, press releases, marketing collateral, editing, proofreading...if it involves the written word, chances are I can do it. I'm a whiz with Constant Contact and I also have significant recent experience creating and managing inbound and outbound marketing programs (email, blogs, social media, landing pages, etc) with HubSpot. I can write/edit blog posts, re-purpose blog posts into white papers (and vice versa), write/edit newsletters and write/edit eLearning courseware.
I am a senior marketing communications professional with over 25 years of experience producing and managing successful marketing communications and educational efforts. I possess outstanding attention to detail, professionalism and ability to complete projects on time and on budget.
I thrive on variety and would be delighted to discuss your project with yo
Service Description
I provide exceptional quality work to all clients on all projects, big or small. I pride myself on producing exceptional work, on time and within budget. My reviews tell the story and the quality of my work speaks for itself. Whether it's transcription, a writing project or data entry, I have zero missed deadlines and many happy clients.
I can handle impossible deadlines, difficult content and exacting standards. I am usually available seven days a week and am compulsive about checking my email for messages from clients. I will never leave you guessing or wondering. If you need me, just ask. If you have a question, just ask. I will always answer promptly whether it's from my computer or my phone. Client satisfaction is my number one priority and nothing is more important to me than my clients, new or returning.
I offer intelligent transcription services, not just transcription. I can clean up the verbal stutters and the false starts or I can provide verbatim transcription and capture all the gory details. I can also edit to produce usable content upon request and actually specialize in turning transcriptions into web content, articles or white papers. I take your audio file and deliver an easy to read, flawless transcript ready to use for whatever you need it for.
I also offer professional writing services, specializing in press releases, articles, collateral, blog postings, white papers and web content. I have over 25 years of experience producing marketing communications materials for scientific, technology and Internet companies and it shows. I have many samples of past writing projects in my portfolio. If there is something specific you would like to see, just ask.
Because of my scientific background, I can easily handle scientific, technical, medical and even financial content in either transcription or writing assignments. I've transcribed everything from a very technical conference discussing international Internet technologies to a simple ebook about relationships. What I don't know, I look up. Google is my friend.
I will be the person doing the project. I do not subcontract projects out. Ever. Your project will receive 100% of my attention during the span of the project. You also will get my personal guarantee that if it's not right, I will fix it. If you're not happy, you don't pay me, it's as simple as that.
One of the most significant mistakes someone can make here on elance is to try to save a few dollars by choosing the cheapest provider around and then discovering the work is poor at best. In the end you will spend way more time and money trying to fix it before you can actually use it. I proofread all of my work very carefully before you ever see it. When I submit something it will be as perfect as I can make it. You won't be disappointed in my work ever, nobody has been yet!
Whether it's transcription, writing, editing or proofreading, your project is my highest priority. My reviews and happy clients speak for themselves. It would be my pleasure to show you what I can do for you. Invite my bid today!

The Fine Arts Building is the first in a series of campus buildings to be commemorated by the Northwestern Historic Preservation Taskforce. A bronze plaque detailing the history of the Fine Arts Building can be seen on the north side of the building, and an interior display featuring photos and additional information hangs on the wall of the building's first floor.
Markers noting the history of Herod Hall and Jesse Dunn are in the works, and funding has been pledged for Carter Hall, Jesse Dunn Annex, Joe Struckle Education Center, J.W. Martin Library, Oklahoma Hall, Percefull Fieldhouse and the President's Home. Sponsorships are still needed for indoor and outdoor displays for Shockley Hall and Vinson Hall. The cost is $1,200 for each building's signage.
A second phase of installations will highlight the former locations of Wyatt Gym and the Castle on the Hill, with a third phase marking Ament Hall, Fryer Hall, Stanley May Industrial Education Building, J.W. Holder Wellness Center and others.
Formed last spring by current and former faculty and staff, alumni, community members and a student, the Northwestern Historic Preservation Taskforce, led by John Barton, includes Jim Barker, Freida Burgess, Thelma Crouch, Kay Decker, Kathy Earnest, Marie Kadavy, Paul Kinzie, Wayne Lane and Austin Prickett.
"This project is one more step toward ensuring that future generations will better understand the history of our campus, its various buildings and the lasting impact of Northwestern to our region of the state," Decker said.
For more information or to sponsor a campus landmark, please contact Barton by phone at 580-327-0406 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

That's not a theoretical question. Since Thursday, we've been without phone service. We're in a remote part of the Catskills in upstate New York. There's a regular phone, but it's not ours and it doesn't have a calling plan. There is, however, a wireless hotspot.
This happens to us every year when we visit Kari's parents. But this year, we're going to write about it. And we've given it a name: the Skype challenge.
It's one of two weeks this summer where we're giving up our phones and only using Skype to communicate.
Here's what we know so far, based on previous experience.
Timing matters. If you go phone-less during a holiday week (like, say, the Fourth of July week) you can minimize the impact of a phone-free existence. But not as much as you'd think. After all the holiday are a time to reconnect with family, and that means getting on the phone. So in some respects, trying to go cold turkey over the holiday weekend is harder than during a work week.
You don't know how dependent you are — until you know. Voice communication may seem less important to those of us in an always-on, data-driven world. And while my number of phone calls have dropped steadily since I started my journalism career, there are still times when you absolutely must get on the horn with a source or an editor. Can a PC replace that?
Computer-to-computer communication is great, but … Calling someone on another computer works really well, but once you try to hail another phone, things can get dicey. The last time I was in this situation a few years ago, I tried to call an editor at National Geographic, and was instructed to get on a "real" phone. We resorted to using email, which had its own challenges. I'm curious to see how the technology has evolved.
So here's how we're doing it: Starting last Thursday, we've been without a cellular connection and haven't made any regular phone calls. It's now Sunday morning. So far, we've managed to do everything by email. But the biggest hurdles lie ahead. Can we survive Monday and Tuesday, which are work days? And what about the Fourth of July, where every family member will try to reach us?
I have Skype "on" on my laptop computer and iPad all the time. When the family wakes up in the morning, you can hear the familiar "bleep" of Skype coming online. They could make an ad. But will it replace our phones?
We'll see.

Cages are a set of tables that keep safe behind bars your precious books and items. These conceptual furniture objects have an intimidating aesthetic with a ludicrous function allowing easily placing and withdrawing books through its bars, or removing its top to locate bigger objects inside. Cages provoke a dialogue about which is safer, being in or outside lockup, breaking expectations for what an occasional table's function is.
Thank You!

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0818 Monday, 17 April 2000.
Date: Friday, 14 Apr 2000 21:38:15 -0400
Subject: Globe Query
Dear SHAKSPERians,
A friend and I have finished assembling the parts of a small-sized model
of The Globe. As we were giving it the last touches, we started to
wonder if the building had been surrounded by other buildings and what
functions they may have had-only brothels, inns, taverns? Please if you
have information about this, even superficial details such as trees
around the building, mud, etc, let me know. We would like to show the
model on April 23, when we celebrate Shakespeare's and Cervantes' day.
Thank you in advance.

Liberation Maiden
Review by SuperfastSonic
"An ambitious shooter with astounding production values, but leaves me wanting more."
With a team like Grasshopper Manufacture helmed by renowned Suda 51, an assorted all-star collaboration of top animators and composers, and a little promoting power from Level 5 of Professor Layton fame, it would seem Guild01 is the most ambitious 3DSWare project yet, consisting of four completely different games made by four talented developers. And the first one out the gate for the Nintendo 3DS eShop is Liberation Maiden. As president of New Japan, you play as the skin-tight clad lady, Shoko, and pilot a mech called Kamui, as you liberate Japan from "The Dominion", an army of machina that polluted the world, and return Japan to it's former beauty. Liberation Maiden is a free roaming Mission-based shooter, where you'll pilot using the analog stick, while aiming with the touch screen to send missiles and lasers flying. Build up enough combos to send your saber crashing into the battleground. A quick tutorial, and constant support from Shoko's general Kira, will always lead you in the right direction and also point out bonus sub-missions. Gameplay is very fast-based, the bosses varied, and the game offers a well balanced option of difficulties, which give it a very distinct AAA game feel. While it's hard for me to gripe about such a well made game, one factor sticks out like a soar eye: this game is unfairly short. Five stages are no where near enough to satisfy any shooter with an itchy finger, and to make matters worse, the game just ends in a middle of a cut scene after a boss fight that could've very well been the first boss in a different shooter. Anyone expecting at least some story arc will be disappointed for there is literally no character development to be interested in whatsoever. All we know about Shoko is in brief cut scenes where she's blowing stuff up and the camera pointing various viewpoints of her large rump. You might argue that the game is meant for short bursts of play for beating high scores, but then what's the excuse for them not adding an on-line leaderboard? A few obtainable achievements does not warrant constant replayability.
If nothing else, Liberation Maiden is a well made fast-paced shooter despite its shortcomings, though it's hard for me to recommend it for the current asking price. If you want a quick fix it's worth the try, but don't expect an AAA grade title.
Reviewer's Rating: 3.0 - Fair

Poems I Used to Know by Heart
For Billy Collins
In fourth grade the competition gets hot.
You memorize
line after line—rimes, ballads, elegiac sorrowings
of Mrs. Browning—in the Fifth Grade
you say them,
letter perfect, to Ms. Wheeler before school.
Ms. Wheeler,
her glossy dark hair shining,
bends to enter the number of lines
and, smiling, her precise red lips mouth "Well Done."
The pride that drives you to memorize surges
beneath your dappled skin,
accomplishment shines in your eyes
when you scan Literature for Young Readers, Volume Two
and choose poems on the sole merit of
length. How many lines
can you expect
to have written in pencil
in the rectangle next to your name?
"The boy stood on the burning deck," you reel off
brightly, his hapless figure clear to you,
wanting to help him
considering his abundant heroism
while we lie out here
on the Plains
memorizing poetry
unaware he perished two-hundred years ago.
Yet, by the shores of rust-red water,
By the shining Deep Fork River
you encounter Hiawatha and his faithful friend, Nokomis.
there you truthfully recounted
all the lines and say them clearly,
boldly facing Mrs. Elzie
dainty, aging, Fifth Grade teacher.
her kind smile embraced your effort,
touched your heart and left you fearless.
Hawthorne, Blake, Robert Service
will be yours before you finish.
Odd towns and settings, for none you knew
have run across the accounts set out in
Literature for Children, Volume 2.
You marvel to think of the lady Lou in the Malamute saloon
As Dangerous Dan McGrew
Plays cards
And the kid plays a jag-time tune.
You know them all by heart.
Remember their galloping lines for years,
decades, so well they are in your way, obscure recollection
of other things you want right now.
Your brain was once a two-drawer filing cabinet.
Now it's one.
Full of stuff over which you have no say – now and then
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner disrupts a grocery list,
a telephone conversation,
a lecture,
an especially lively tune on the radio
morphs into "Robinson Crusoe":
"The night was thick and hazy/when the Piccadilly Daisy
carried down the crew and captain in the sea."
It's like the old friends have left you,
one-by-one, like great-aunts dying,
as though good neighbors moved to the lake.
It's like a specter floated in the window
onto the slender joinery on which
stand your accolades.
Sometimes, at night, I see a light is on where
you sit carefully thumbing your Granddad's Bible
memorizing the dates and names.
You will not give them up—names to go with the voices, faces,
resting at previous holiday tables;
you do not need to explain reciting your late night soliloquy,
evoking that schoolroom wall.
My light—also—is on.

Abdy Retro Telephones
We are Abdy Retro Telephones, a small family business in the UK who specialise in the restoration, service and sale of classic retro and vintage telephones.
We sell two types of Vintage/Retro telephones:
Our most popular phones are actually original Old BT telephones that we have personally restored, serviced and converted for modern use (including the fitting of a high quality electronic microphone) . However because the original cases and handsets on these vintage telephones were damaged we decided to fit brand new original vintage style cases. These are Original re-cased 1960's 706 vintage telephones and 1970's retro 746 telephones.
We also sell a small number of brand new replica Trimphone and Scandiphone telephones that we have selected because we believe these are the most faithful reproductions of the original vintage telephones available.
These vintage telephones are our passion and we started this site dedicated to British telephones from the 1960's and 70's, we also have a sister website selling older antique telephones. We believe keeping the original 706 and 746 telephones in circulation by fitting new cases and cords is in keeping with our aim of keeping preserving these icons of telephone history.
We hope you see a retro phone to your liking. These old fashioned telephones are vintage phones, old style telephones or antique phones. All the telephones we offer for sale are re-cased originals or replicas of old fashioned phones from the 1960s and 1970s. We make it obvious on our for sale page which is which.
Although this website sells re-cased old BT telephones and a small number or new replicas of old phones we also sell original Antique Telephones at Abdy Antique Telephones our sister website.
We have been servicing, restoring and selling vintage and Antique Bakelite telephones for many years and a lot of our customers have asked us to supply classic phones that have modern push button "tone" dialling. So we decided to also offer a small number of these replica "old style" phones as an alternative to an original old telephone. We believe that these particular "brand new" old style phones are good copies of the original classic telephones.
However if you prefer older (pre 1960's) antique telephone please visit our sister site were you will see our original old telephones for sale.
The brand new retro telephones come with a years guarantee from the manufacturer, whilst the original vintage telephones that we have restored and serviced come with a years guarantee from ourselves.
Please note that the 746 GPO telephones we sell all have original British vintage telephone insides, however we have serviced and adjusted these vintage telephones using our unique knowledge and skills so that they function reliably on a modern telephone line. For example all of our 706 and 746 telephones have a REN (Ring Equivalence Number) of 1, whereas many telephone restorers convert them but leave the REN at 4, using up 4 telephones worth of ringing current. This REN of 4 can cause problems on certain telephone lines and can intermittently effect other telephones on the same phone line. Unlike some other sites we do not sell Replica 746 GPO Telephones that are actually replicas of American 500 series telephones, or just cheap poor quality copies were the bells are a poor imitation of the originals.

Asthma Myths
Medically reviewed by: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
These are some of the many faces of asthma. Most researchers believe that the different patterns of asthma are all related to one condition. Other researchers feel that separate lung conditions exist. There is currently no cure for asthma and no single exact cause has been identified. Therefore, understanding the changes that occur in asthma, how it makes you feel, and how it can behave over time is vital. This knowledge empowers you to take an active role in your own health care.

Bay Nature Institute
The Bay Nature Institute, based in Berkeley, California, is dedicated to educating the people of the San Francisco Bay Area about, and celebrating the beauty of, the surrounding natural world. We do so with the aim of inspiring residents to explore and preserve the diverse and unique natural heritage of the region, and of nurturing productive relationships among the many organizations and individuals working towards these same goals. Bay Nature's programs include:
1. Bay Nature magazine, a full-color quarterly publication launched in January 2001 that explores the landscapes and wildlife of the Bay Area, and highlights the people and organizations that are working to understand them, protect them, and educate others about them. You can subscribe to Bay Nature online; back issues may also be purchased online.
2. Bay Nature Hikes & Events consists of free naturalist-led hikes and outings to places featured in the magazine, as well as occasional community events.

I only wish I'd ordered two sheets, very versitile because of the colors. Love it.
Nice -- haven't decided what I'll use for yet.
This paper is so nice I have been trying to work on getting use of both sides with only one piece so if you don't get the collection pack you might want two. I guess 85% of the time thats the case with any double sided paper.
Uncle really is special.

Cloudy Jewelby Grace Livingston Hill
Jewel Cloud has spent her life caring first for her brothers and sister and then for her ailing mother. When her mother dies, her wealthy college-age nephew and niece ask her to be a surrogate mother to them when they go off to college. They buy a house and live near campus. Julia, whom the children call Cloudy Jewel, enjoys being a mother to these young people and their friends. She re-introduces them to the pleasures of closeness with God and Christ, and the children become a vital force in the church, youth group, and college community. The young people fall in love, and have some good and bad experiences. This book was originally written in 1920. The publisher haas retained the hyphenation and speling of the 1920 edition. Thus words that we don't hyphenate today, like today and upstairs, are hyphenated: to-day, up-stairs. Also, some words are spelled differently, e.g., clue is spelled c l e w instead of c l u e. There is also some dialect.

|The last time a playoff team experienced the type of turnover the Sixers have this summer was in 2010 when Miami gutted their roster to make room for Chris Bosh and LeBron James. Obviously, no one in Miami thought twice before making those moves. It's hardly a risk to jettison guys like Michael Beasley to make room for the best player on the planet and an All Star power forward to join forces with Dwyane Wade. The Sixers, however, had to give up value to get value. The first part of this series will examine exactly what they gave up.
|The first three years of Jrue Holiday's career have been equal parts tease, promise and growth. Unbiased observers could say he's been a disappointment, an overachiever or a burgeoning star without being totally off base. Year four, however, is when the ambiguity needs to end.
|With a couple of new contracts for leftover players, the departure of most of last season's roster, and the new additions headlined by Andrew Bynum, it's time to take a look at the Sixers' salary cap situation for this season, and going forward.
|According to more reports than you can shake a stick at, the Philadelphia 76ers will acquire Andrew Bynum (pictured above destroying the Sixers) in a four-team trade. Andre Iguodala, Moe Harkless and Nikola Vucevic are the players reportedly on the move, and Jason Richardson will join Bynum in Philadelphia.
|Adrian Wojnarowski has the scoop on a potential trade in which the Sixers would help facilitate a deal to send Dwight Howard to the Lakers. It's a four-team trade (which makes is highly unlikely), but the Sixers part would be sending Iguodala to Denver and getting Bynum from the Lakers. Sign me up.
Latest comment: from GoSixersSigh...it's nice that people can kick iguodala even when he's gone...

Almost 10 million Greeks voted on Sunday for the second time in six weeks. The make up of the resulting coalition government will have repercussions for economies and markets across the world.
WHEN Sunday, June 17. Polls closed at 5pm GST (midnight AEST). At 9.30pm GMT (8.30am AEST), with 80 per cent of votes counted, New Democracy was projected to have come first, with 29.9 per cent of the vote. The final result is expected mid-morning on Monday AEST.
The centre-right party New Democracy must now form a coalition government. Negotiations will begin on Monday, but it is expected to partner with the Pasok ("Socialist") party, which came third in the election with a projected 12.4 per cent of the vote.
Syriza, the radical left party which came second with a projected 26.7 per cent of the vote, has said it will not join a government of national unity.
New Democracy and Pasok both want to keep the bailout but in a renegotiated form. New conditions will have to be negotiated quickly – otherwise the government is likely to fail.
However forming a new government is not expected to be easy: attempts following the May 6 election were a failure.
Greece may be able to secure longer timelines for restructuring, according to German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle, but he has warned more 'substantial' alterations will not be feasible.
While many Greeks want to be rid of the bailout, most are keen to remain in the euro, and European leaders warn they cannot have both.
Market reaction: A win for New Democracy is Brussels' preferred election outcome. Since the release of election projections on Monday morning, the euro has hit a one-month high against the US dollar, while the Australian dollar is trading higher and at 9am the local sharemarket was expected to open 1 per cent higher.
- Before the Bell | New Democracy's Antonis Samaras has declared that Greece will continue to honour its bailout commitments to the EU and IMF
- More markets coverage, updated throughout the day
■ Pro-bailout:
New Democracy would keep the bailout but ask for more time for restructuring, plus more EU help. (May vote share: 18.85 per cent)
Pasok would keep the bailout but implement fiscal adjustment over three years not two. (May vote share: 13.18 per cent)
■ Anti-bailout:
SYRIZA plans to cancel the bailout, nationalise banks and freeze privatisations but wants to remain in the euro zone. (May vote share: 16.78 per cent)
The Democratic Left would gradually disengage from the bailout but remain in the euro zone. (May vote share: 6.11 per cent)
Golden Dawn The party of the extreme right wants to cancel the bailout but not necessarily abandon the euro. (May vote share: 6.97 per cent)
KKE (Communist) would unilaterally cancel debt, leave the EU and restore the drachma. (May vote share: 8.48 per cent)
Independent Greeks would reject the bailout but remain in the euro zone. (May vote share: 10.40 per cent)
(Sources: BBC, The Guardian)
€240 billion: The value of rescue packages Greece has received so far.
Up to €800 million: The sum withdrawn daily from Greek banks, according to Reuters.
€160 billion-€170 billion: Amount remaining in Greek bank accounts, according to The Economist.
33 per cent: Combined vote share commanded by New Democracy and Pasok – before the debt, the two established parties commanded more than 75 per cent of the vote.
5: The number of years Greece has been in recession.

|multiple axis webapps
|Tue, 25 Apr 2006 22:30:55 GMT
Hi, I'm not sure if this is a Tomcat problem or something to do with AXIS. If the latter apologies for posting it here. I have a Tomcat server that is providing a set of AXIS webservices as well as another webapp that simply displays a welcome page. Recently, I wanted to set up another AXIS based webservice which had to be separate from the original services. Thus my $CATALINE_HOME/webapps directory looked like: axis/ XYZ/ newapp/ where axis/ and XYZ/ were my preexisting webapps. newapp/ is simply a copy of axis/. When I restart Tomcat and try doing: http://localhost:8080/newapp/ I get a 404 error message. However doing http://localhost:8080/axis/ works fine as does the same thing for the XYZ webapp. My problem is: I can't remember how I need to set up a new webapp. I digged through the config files for Tomcat and there are no references to my preexisting services. Furthermore I had figured that Tomcat would simply invoke the webapp based on the name in the URL. The web.xml file for the newapp webapp is identical to the one for the AXIS webapp (except for the name of the attachments directory). I'm totally stumped and any pointers would be appreciated.

Organic conjugated polymers (conducting polymers) have emerged as potential candidates for electrochemical sensors. Due to their straightforward preparation methods, unique properties, and stability in air, conducting polymers have been applied to energy storage, electrochemical devices, memory devices, chemical sensors, and electrocatalysts. Conducting polymers are also known to be compatible with biological molecules in a neutral aqueous solution. Thus, these are extensively used in the fabrication of accurate, fast, and inexpensive devices, such as biosensors and chemical sensors in the medical diagnostic laboratories. Conducting polymer-based electrochemical sensors and biosensors play an important role in the improvement of public health and environment because rapid detection, high sensitivity, small size, and specificity are achievable for environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics. In this review, we summarized the recent advances in conducting polymer-based electrochemical sensors, which covers chemical sensors (potentiometric, voltammetric, amperometric) and biosensors (enzyme based biosensors, immunosensors, DNA sensors).
Organic conjugated polymer (conducting polymers) [
Many types of analytical applications of the conducting polymers have been reported since their discovery. These compounds have useful applications in the development of chemical sensors. During the last two decades, conducting polymers have emerged as one of the most interesting materials for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors [
Conducting polymers are also known for their ability to be compatible with biological molecules in neutral aqueous solutions [
Amongst many analytical techniques available, the development of chemical sensors has made significant strides in the last two decades. The rapidly growing applications of chemical sensors reflect the extent to which analytical chemists require these devices for cheap, accurate, convenient and quick analysis of various samples. Chemical sensors are miniaturized analytical devices, which can deliver real-time and on-line information about the presence of specific compounds or ions in complex samples. Usually an analyte recognition process takes place followed by the conversion of chemical information into an electrical or optical signal (
A number of instrumental techniques such as UV-visible and infrared spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry, flame photometry, fluorometry, mass spectrometry and chromatography etc. are available at the disposal of analytical chemists. Generally these methods provide reproducible results with high sensitivity and good selectivity. However, all these analytical techniques require sophisticated instruments and chemical manipulation of sample before measurement which may be time consuming and inconvenient. The chemical sensors have no such requirements. These provide accurate, reproducible, fast and often selective determination of various chemical species. Not only this, the technique could be non-destructive, adaptable to small sample volumes and to on-line monitoring due to these merits. The utility of chemical sensors is being increasingly realized in medicinal, environmental, agricultural, and industrial fields.
Generally electrochemical methods are based on the transformation of chemical information into an analytically useful signal. Any sensor used in electroanalytical determination contains two basic functional units; one receptor part, which transforms the chemical information into a form of energy and one transducer part which transforms the energy, bearing chemical information, into a useful signal. A broad range of electrochemical techniques can be used for this purpose. Some of the most commonly used, are described below:
Voltammetry: Voltammetry refers to the measurement of current resulting from the application of potential. It utilizes three or two electrode electrochemical cell systems. The use of the three electrodes (working, auxiliary, and reference) along with the potentiostat allows accurate application of potential functions and the measurement of the resultant current. The electrode potential is ramped linearly to a more negative potential, and is then ramped in reverse back to the starting voltage. The forward scan produces a current peak for any analytes that can be reduced through the range of the potential scan. The current will increase as the potential reaches the reduction potential of the analyte, but then declines as the concentration of the analyte is depleted close to the electrode surface. As the applied potential is reversed, it will reach a potential that will re-oxidize the product formed in the first reduction reaction, and produce a current of reverse polarity from the forward scan. This oxidation peak will usually have a similar shape to the reduction peak. The potential difference between the reduction and oxidation peaks is theoretically 59 mV for a reversible reaction. In practice, the difference is typically 70-100 mV. Larger differences, or nonsymmetric reduction and oxidation peaks are an indication of a nonreversible reaction.
Amperometry: Basically in amperometry, a uniform potential is applied and the change in current is monitored as a function of time. The determination of the concentration of a material in a sample is carried out by measuring the current passing through a cell containing the solution. During amperometric assays the potential of the indicator electrode is adjusted to a value on the plateau of the voltammetric wave. The current that flows between the indicator electrode and a second electrode in the solution is measured and related to the concentration of the analyte.
Potentiometry: Potentiometry is based on the measurement of a potential under no current flow. The measured potential may then be used to determine the analytical concentration of some components of the analyte gas or solution. The signal is measured as the potential difference between the indicator electrode (ion-selective electrode, redox electrode, metal-meta1 oxide electrode) and the reference electrode. The potential that develops in the electrochemical cell is the result of the free energy change that would occur if the chemical phenomena were to proceed until the equilibrium condition has been satisfied. This concept is typically introduced in quantitative analysis courses in relation to electrochemical cells. For these electrochemical cells, the potential difference between the cathodic potential and the anodic potential is the potential of the electrochemical cell which can be calculated by using the Nernst equation. Physical phenomena which do not involve explicit redox reactions, however whose initial conditions have a non-zero free energy, also will generate a potential. An example of this would be ion concentration gradients across a semi-permeable membrane. This can also be potentiometric phenomena, and is the basis of measurements that use ion-selective electrodes. The following equation is generally used to determine the concentration of the analyte in test solutions: Emem= Constant – RT/zi F ln ai, where zi and ai are the charge and the activity of the ion of interest respectively.
Impedometry: The approach is to perturb the cell with an alternating potential in small magnitude and to observe the way in which the system follows the perturbation at steady state. Many advantages attribute to these techniques. The most important includes a) an experimental ability to make sensitive measurements because the response may be indefinitely steady and can therefore be averaged over a long term, b) an ability to treat the response theoretically by linearized current-potential characteristics and c) measurement over a wide time or frequency range (104 to 10−6 s or 10−4 to 106 Hz). Since this usually works close to equilibrium, one often does not require detailed knowledge about the behavior of the current-potential curve over great ranges of over potential. This advantage leads to important simplifications in treating kinetics and diffusion.
Conductometry: The capability of the analyte to conduct an electrical current is monitored. From Ohm's law (E = IR) it is apparent that the electric current (I) is inversely proportional to the resistance (R), where E represents potential difference. The inverse of the resistance is the conductance (G = 1/R). In conductometry, the electrical conductivity of a sample is used to determine the components and their concentration. However, conductivity measurements are difficult due to the variable ionic background of the samples and relatively small conductivity changes that are observed in such high ionic strength solutions.

The control of diseases is essential to improve the quality of our lives, which is greatly dependent on diagnosis by monitoring various biochemical compounds in the body fluid. The diagnosis of a disease by measuring the constituents in body fluids first took place in the middle ages. For example, diabetes mellitus was then diagnosed by tasting the sweetness of urine [
Most biosensors described in literature use an enzyme as biological recognition element (
A novel amperometric biosensor based on horseradish peroxidase/polypyrrole (PPy) deposited onto the surface of ferrocenecraboxylic acid functionalized sol-gel derived composite carbon electrode for the detection of H2O2 has been reported [
Electrochemical immunosensors (
A label free and reagentless immunosensor based on direct incorporation of antibodies into conducting polymer films at the surface of the screen-printed electrode (SPE) using ac impedimetric electrochemical interrogation has been reported [
Electrochemical methods for DNA hybridization detection (
The electrochemically prepared conducting polypyrrole/polyvinyl sulphonate films have been used to immobilize
Conducting polymers are now widely used in the design of electrochemical biosensors. Conductive polymers improve the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical sensors and biosensors due to their electrical conductivity or charge transport properties. Conducting polymers can be electrochemically grown on very small size of electrode, thus allowing for in vivo monitoring of biomolecules. Biomolecules, such as enzyme, antibody, DNA, aptamer etc. can be immobilized onto conducting polymers without any loss of activity, which makes conducting polymers biocompatible with biological molecules in neutral aqueous solutions. Conducting polymers can act as an electron promoter. Moreover, conducting polymers can be deposited over defined areas of electrodes. The unique properties of conducting polymers have been exploited for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors and biosensors.

Â I don't want something dated, and I can't discern the age. Â Also, I don't want a sack suit, even though that's what Oxxford is known for.
