Enculturing brains through patterned practices
Recent findings in neuroscience have shown differential patterns in brain activity in response to similar stimuli and activities across cultural and social differences. This calls for a framework to understand how such differences may come to be implemented in brains and neurons. Based on strands of research in social anthropology, we argue that human practices are characterized by particular p...
متن کاملRobust liquid-infused surfaces through patterned wettability.
Liquid-infused surfaces display advantageous properties that are normally associated with conventional gas-cushioned superhydrophobic surfaces. However, the surfaces can lose their novel properties if the infused liquid drains from the surface. We explore how drainage due to gravity or due to an external flow can be prevented through the use of chemical patterning. A small area of the overall s...
متن کاملDriving Organizational Practices through Knowledge
E-MAIL: [email protected] or [email protected]. Among the central decisions that each week confront a major international weekly news magazine such as TIME Magazine is what to run as its cover story. Barring any sudden or critical global event, which would pre-empt other options, the editorial board faces an array of choices: local politics, cultural trends, a leading celebrity from a particu...
متن کاملFlow of microgel capsules through topographically patterned microchannels.
We investigated the flow dynamics of microgel capsules in topographically patterned microfluidic devices. For microgels flowing through channel constrictions, or orifices, we observed three phenomena: (i) the effect of confinement, (ii) the role of interactions between the microgels and the channel surface, and (iii) the effect of the velocities of microgels prior to their passage through an or...
متن کاملFlow-induced polymer translocation through narrow and patterned channels.
We consider linear and branched polymers driven through narrow and patterned channels by imposing a Poiseuille flow on the ambient solvent. We establish, by means of scaling arguments, that the translocation probability of dendrimers through the pore is independent of the number of monomers and that it takes place above a viscosity-dependent critical external current. When the channel walls are...
