An Abiotic Glass-Bead Collector Exhibiting Active Transport
Animals relocate objects as needed by active motion. Active transport is ubiquitous in living organisms but has been difficult to realize in abiotic systems. Here we show that a self-propelled droplet can gather scattered beads toward one place on a floor and sweep it clean. This is a biomimetic active transport with loadings and unloadings, because the transport was performed by a carrier and ...
متن کاملRetention of platelets by glass bead filters.
Whole blood was passed through glass bead filters and the retention of platelets studied under various experimental conditions. Platelet retention was similar over a wide range of blood flow rates; however, it was decreased at fast rates of flow. Platelet retention was not influenced by the haematocrit value of the blood over a wide range. Retention in filters containing siliconized beads was s...
متن کاملGlass Bead Calorimeter and Fiber Optic Readout
Large volume calorimeters are traditionally based on construction from high-density material or a “sandwich” construction of alternating layers of active and passive material. Dense scintillating material, made from materials such as BGO or lead-glass, is too costly to be used on a very large scale. In sandwich technology, energy resolution is often reduced due to a large fraction of the signal...
متن کاملMagnetically and biologically active bead-patterned hydrogels.
We present a new approach to the direct patterning of biologically and magnetically active microbeads in nonbiofouling polymer scaffolds for use in microfluidic devices. Briefly, the process involves treatment of a glass substrate, conformal contact bonding of a PDMS microchannel on the substrate, filling of the channel with beads and prepolymer solution, and UV-initiated photopolymerization of...
متن کاملThe Modeling of Nature as a Glass Bead Game
In his novel The Glass Bead Game, Hermann Hesse introduces an essentially cosmic game within a symbolical Universe which recently has been compared with a „neuronal network of the cosmic mind“. In his game all those games which are known to us today appear to be summarized. Hence, by closer inspection, the glass bead game shows up as a meta-game, a proto-game, and as a playful paradigm of playi...
