Schlieren visualization of ultrasonic standing waves in mm-sized chambers for ultrasonic particle manipulation

BACKGROUND For the design and characterization of ultrasonic particle manipulation devices the pressure field in the fluid cavity is of great interest. The schlieren method provides an optical tool for the visualization of such pressure fields. Due to its purely optical nature this experimental method has got some unique advantages compared to methods like particle tracking. RESULTS A vertica...

This article presents recent patents and advances on electrical methods for particle manipulation in a microfluidic environment. At microscale, electric fields have unique advantages in performing analytical functions such as manipulation of biological molecules and cells. The advent of AC electrokinetics in recent years further promotes the development of laboratory on a chip, providing versat...

Advances in Soft Computing Techniques and Applications

between cities are unstable in time. The second paper, written by Nuser, presents a molecular-inspired computing approach to solve the classical three-partition problem. Besides the computational complexity, the approach is investigated in terms of specific elements, such as number of strands, tubes and the longest library strand. In the third paper, Singh et al. adopted the features of an ABC ...
