Respiratory protection is critical to minimize airborne infection risk for healthcare workers.The main factor affecting infection risk in the medical scenario is leakage between the respirator and the healthcare work...
This paper reviews three complex interactions between microwave energy and microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). The first interaction comprises the detection of viruses within human blood using a 50-Ohm tran...

High humidity and high dust concentration in deep coal mines may severely challenge the performance of respirators worn by coal miners.This paper aims at quantitatively evaluating the respirators used in deep coal min...
Objective: to solve the problem of capturing the best state of infant chest X-ray photography, to develop an automatic exposure control device for X-ray photography and to improve the exposure timing of infant chest X...
This novel face mask is designed to be a reusable respirator with a small and highly efficient disposable fabric filter.Respirator material requirements are reduced by 75%compared to traditional designs and allow repe...
Non-compliance with respiratory protection programs among firefighters may put them at increased risk of injury and illness from occupational exposures during fire extinguishing activities. This research aims to chara...

Face mask use by the general public for limiting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is controversial,though increasingly recommended,and the potential of this intervention is not well understood.We develop a compartm...
Medical certification of workers for respirator use is an important activity of occupational medicine health professionals. Spirometry is a diagnostic tool to evaluate respiratory distress/insufficiency that may affec...
We describe the design, modeling and production of a 3D printed manifold for attaching multiple respiration masks to a single ventilator machine. During a disaster surge this would allow up to four masks to be connect...
