    Abstract
    The spread of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has substantial social, health, and economic impacts. High viral load in the air in hospitals poses a risk to medical personnel. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a new technology based on the emission in the air of reactive species, neutral particles, UV radiation, and electromagnetic field. CAP has the potential as an antiviral agent. In this study, an 80-day clinical trial took place at Nicosia General Hospital to evaluate the application of CAP devices for lowering the viral load in the COVID rooms.

  • Water level sensing: State of the art review and performance evaluation of a low-cost measurement system

    Elsevier

    Nowadays, the management of water is of paramount importance for modern societies due to the high water-availability requirements. The application of water management schemes requires the installation of water level data-acquisition systems in multiple, geographically isolated large-scale storage tanks of water distribution networks. Existing techniques for liquid level sensing have either been applied over a relatively small measurement range, or require special scientific equipment of high…

    Nowadays, the management of water is of paramount importance for modern societies due to the high water-availability requirements. The application of water management schemes requires the installation of water level data-acquisition systems in multiple, geographically isolated large-scale storage tanks of water distribution networks. Existing techniques for liquid level sensing have either been applied over a relatively small measurement range, or require special scientific equipment of high cost, or they are not convenient for transportation, installation and long-term maintenance in multiple large-scale water storage tanks of water distribution networks in cities, communities etc. In this paper, a review of prior art on liquid level sensing is initially presented.

  • A low-cost sensor based on Time-Domain Reflectometry for water level monitoring in environmental applications

    IEEE

    The implementation of water management techniques in various environmental applications requires the measurement of the level of water stored in artificial storage tanks (e.g. in cities, communities etc.) or natural reservoirs. In this paper, the design of a water-level sensor is presented, which is based on the Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique. The proposed TDR sensor comprises a sensing probe constructed using low-cost and widely-available multilayer and stainless steel tubes. A…

    The implementation of water management techniques in various environmental applications requires the measurement of the level of water stored in artificial storage tanks (e.g. in cities, communities etc.) or natural reservoirs. In this paper, the design of a water-level sensor is presented, which is based on the Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique. The proposed TDR sensor comprises a sensing probe constructed using low-cost and widely-available multilayer and stainless steel tubes. A simple signal-conditioning circuit has been designed for interfacing the acquired measurements to a digital data-acquisition device through an I2C communication bus. Thus, the manufacturing cost and power consumption of the proposed sensor are relatively low, enabling its incorporation in Wireless Sensor Networks which are power-supplied by Renewable Energy Sources. The operation of the proposed sensor has been tested in a city-scale storage tank of drinking water. The experimental results verify that the proposed sensor achieves equivalent accuracy performance with a commercially available ultrasound water-level sensor, which, however, is of higher cost.

  • A low-cost capacitive sensor for water level monitoring in large-scale storage tanks

    IEEE

    Water-level sensors are indispensable for monitoring the level of water in storage tanks, which are used in drinking water distribution networks. In this paper, a long-range capacitive-type water-level sensor is presented. The proposed sensor is constructed using widely-available multilayer tubes, which are used for building drinking water systems. Thus, both the manufacturing cost of the sensor and the cost of the associated electronic circuits, which are used for interfacing the sensor to a…

The proposed sensor is constructed using widely-available multilayer tubes, which are used for building drinking water systems. Thus, both the manufacturing cost of the sensor and the cost of the associated electronic circuits, which are used for interfacing the sensor to a digital data-acquisition unit, are low. The performance of the proposed sensor has been evaluated in a water storage tank of a city-scale water distribution network. The experimental results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed experimental prototype sensor is equivalent to that of a commercially available ultrasound water level sensor, while, additionally, its manufacturing cost is significantly lower.
