Abstract
Radio Frequency (RF) sensor is widely used to monitor physiological signals. Generally, RF sensor simulation is mostly done using a layered model, which sometimes cannot model the accurate properties in the real world. A voxel vascular structure-based mannequin-like arm electromagnetic model (VVS-MaM) is proposed to evaluate the RF sensor, which mainly gathers the real physiological signal. This model is built with high-precision Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and it can finish fast simulation while there is also a voxel-like part in it which means it has the advantages of both the layered model and the real human model. After modelling, both simulation and in-vivo experiments are designed to test this sensor. In the simulation, the simulated standard resonant frequency of the equivalent model is 1.8137 GHz, and the relative error of the VVS-MaM is 0.012 GHz, which is closer to the standard value than the layer model result of 0.049 GHz. Meanwhile, in the in-vivo experiments, an RF sensor based on a composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) and complementary split resonator rings (CSRRs) are fabricated, and the measurements from the real experiments are gathered and stored to compare with that of the simulation. The comparison shows that the relative error of the VVS-MaM (0.08804 GHz)is closer to the in-vivo measurements than that of the layer model (0.09891 GHz), which validates the performance of VVS-MaM.Clinical Relevance-Radio Frequency, magnetic resonance imaging, scattering parameter, composite right/left-handed, complementary split resonator ring.

Abstract
Controlling environmental pollution is a burning problem for all countries more than ever. Currently, due to the increasing industrialization, the number of days when the limits of air pollutants are over the threshold levels exceeds 80-85% of the year. Therefore, cheap and effective sensors are always welcome. One idea is to combine such solutions with cars and provide real-time information about the current pollution level. However, the environmental conditions are demanding, and thus the developed sensors need to be characterized by the high 3S parameters: sensitivity, stability and selectivity. In this paper, we present the results on the heterostructure of CuO/SnOx and SnOx/CuO as a possible approach for selective NO2 detection. The developed gas sensors exhibited lower operating temperature and high response in the wide range of NO2 and in a wide range of relative humidity changes. Material characterizations and impedance spectroscopy measurements were also conducted to analyze the chemical and electrical behavior.

Abstract
In this work, a broad overview in the field of strontium titanate (ST, SrTiO3)-, barium titanate (BT, BaTiO3)- and barium strontium titanate (BST, BaSrTiO3)-based gas sensors is presented and discussed. The above-mentioned materials are characterized by a perovskite structure with long-term stability and therefore are very promising materials for commercial gas-sensing applications. Within the last 20 years, the number of papers where ST, BT and BST materials were tested as gas-sensitive materials has ten times increased and therefore an actual review about them in this field has been expected by readers, who are researchers involved in gas-sensing applications and novel materials investigations, as well as industry research and development center members, who are constantly searching for gas-sensing materials exhibiting high 3S parameters (sensitivity, selectivity and stability) that can be adapted for commercial realizations. Finally, the NO2-sensing characteristics of the BST-based gas sensors deposited by the authors with the utilization of magnetron sputtering technology are presented.

Abstract
Initially inspired by the work of Richard Feynman in 1959 during his famous talk "There is plenty of room at the bottom", nanoscience and nanotechnology have moved during the 2000s from laboratory developments to daily life applications [...].
