Surface-chemical and -morphological gradients
Surface gradients of chemistry or morphology represent powerful tools for the high-throughput investigation of interfacial phenomena in the areas of physics, chemistry, materials science and biology. A wide variety of methods for the fabrication of such gradients has been developed in recent years, relying on principles ranging from diffusion to time-dependent irradiation in order to achieve a ...
متن کاملPrinting chemical gradients.
We describe a method to exploit the mass-transfer limitations of microcontact printing for the fabrication of surfaces with well-defined, arbitrarily shaped composition variations. An analysis of the transport processes reveals that the printing of hexadecanethiol (HDT) from poly(dimethylsiloxane) is purely diffusion-controlled. Stamps with geometries that enhance surface-normal diffusion paths...
متن کاملChemical gradients and chemotropism in yeast.
Chemical gradients of peptide mating pheromones are necessary for directional growth, which is critical for yeast mating. These gradients are generated by cell-type specific secretion or export and specific degradation in receiving cells. Spatial information is sensed by dedicated seven-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors and yeast cells are able to detect extremely small differences in l...
متن کاملHierachic Texture Classification Using Morphological Gradients and Genetic Algorithms
A novel method for adaptively selecting texture features is presented. We use genetic algorithm to search for an optimal set of structuring elements which provides the best discrimination of textures. Moreover, a tree structure containing the selected set of structuring elements has been set up for classification. Experiments show that by the proposed method can achieve high classification accu...
متن کاملIntracellular chemical gradients: morphing principle in bacteria
Advances in computational biology allow systematic investigations to ascertain whether internal chemical gradients can be maintained in bacteria - an open question at the resolution limit of fluorescence microscopy. While it was previously believed that the small bacterial cell size and fast diffusion in the cytoplasm effectively remove any such gradient, a new computational study published in ...
