Modeling the Multidimensional Approach of Uncertainty in Environmental Measurements: Nanoinstrumentation Issues

A. Lay-Ekuakille, G. Griffo, P. Vergallo
Abstract:
Nanotechnology is an opportunity for environmental measurements. If we consider an environmental matrix like a biological material, it is possible to investigate on it using non invasive technique and applying certain techniques as beamforming. The main idea of the work is to detect, thanks to acoustic waves, metallic materials or plastic ones included in a confined ambient and that are contaminated. There are different sensor techniques based on micro and nanotechnology for investigating on environmental issues. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate an overview and application of processing signal from acoustic nanosensors for localizing materials inside others. A modeling of accuracy, hence uncertainty, is outlined.
