Capillary Attraction 1

Tunable capillary-induced attraction between vertical cylinders.

Deformation of a fluid interface caused by the presence of objects at the interface can lead to large lateral forces between objects. We explore these fluid-mediated attractive force between partially submerged vertical cylinders. Forces are experimentally measured by slowly separating cylinder pairs and cylinder triplets after capillary rise is initially established for cylinders in contact. F...

Fatal attraction: chemokines and type 1 diabetes.

Research discoveries within the past few years have dramatically reshaped our collective thought on the pathogenesis and natural history of type 1 diabetes (1). Many concepts once held as dogmas (e.g., B lymphocytes play no pathogenic role in type 1 diabetes; autoantibodies only serve as markers of the disease process; and Th1 cytokines are bad, in terms of the disease, whereas Th2 cytokines ar...

Exploring the basins of attraction of tapping mode atomic force microscopy with capillary force interactions

We numerically explore the nonlinear dynamics of the oscillating cantilever tip in tapping mode atomic force microscopy. The cantilever dynamics are determined by complex force interactions between the sample surface and the oscillating cantilever tip which are dominated by attractive, adhesive, and repulsive contributions depending on the instantaneous position of the cantilever. We use a mode...

Familiarity and Interpersonal Attraction 1 Running Head: FAMILIARTY AND INTERPERSONAL ATTRACTION When Does Familiarity Promote Versus Undermine Interpersonal Attraction? An Integrative Model from Erstwhile Adversaries

This article began as an adversarial collaboration between two groups of researchers with competing views on a longstanding question: Does familiarity promote or undermine interpersonal attraction? As we explored our respective positions, it became clear that the limitations of our conceptualizations of the familiarity–attraction link, as well as the limitations of prior research, was masking a...
