چکیده
We report the preparation of polymer particles via convective polymer assembly (CPA). Convection is used to move polymer solutions and cargo through an agarose gel that contains immobilized template particles. This method both coats and washes the particles in a process that is amenable to automation, and does not depend on passive diffusion or electrical currents, thus facilitating incorporation of fragile and nanoscale objects, such as liposomes and gold nanoparticles, into the thin polymer films. Template dissolution leads to the formation of stable polymer particles and capsules.

متن کاملA synergy-based hand control is encoded in human motor cortical areas
How the human brain controls hand movements to carry out different tasks is still debated. The concept of synergy has been proposed to indicate functional modules that may simplify the control of hand postures by simultaneously recruiting sets of muscles and joints. However, whether and to what extent synergic hand postures are encoded as such at a cortical level remains unknown. Here, we combi...
متن کاملContext-Aware Mobile Professional Learning in PRiME
Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in professional and organizational settings is increasingly gaining importance. The high availability of mobile end devices and their ability to support learning across contexts open up new perspectives for effective professional learning and knowledge management.

متن کاملIn the Eye of the Beholder: Promoting Learner-Centric Design to Develop Mobile Games for Learning
Out of the project EMuRgency a game-based learning environment evolved, which trains school children in providing reanimation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The application gets players to act as if they were in a real case of emergency. This paper reports on a formal usability study conducted with two different groups of learners, regular learners and learners with special educationa...
متن کاملThe brain‐derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met polymorphism affects encoding of object locations during active navigation
The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was shown to be involved in spatial memory and spatial strategy preference. A naturally occurring single nucleotide polymorphism of the BDNF gene (Val66Met) affects activity-dependent secretion of BDNF. The current event-related fMRI study on preselected groups of 'Met' carriers and homozygotes of the 'Val' allele investigated the role of this polymo...
