Using a minimal model of active Brownian discs, we study the effect crucial parameter, namely softness inter-particle repulsion, on motility-induced phase separation. We show that an increase in particle reduces ability system to phase-separate and exhibit delayed transition. After separation, state properties can be explained by single relevant lengthscale, effective distance. estimate this le...

Interpenetrated polymer network microgels, composed of crosslinked networks poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and polyacrylic acid (PAAc), have been investigated through rheological measurements at four different amounts acid. Both PAAc content crosslinking degree modify particle dimensions, mass softness, thereby strongly affecting the volume fraction system viscosity. Here is derived from flow curv...

People systematically use different touch strategies to perceive object features. When interacting with a deformable object, human typically judge the softness by pressing finger pad into surface or pinching thumb and index finger. However, link between strategy (e.g., pressing) haptic perception needed be explored. To ascertain how people’s perceptions of are impacted strategy, experiments on ...

Aldehydes are electrophilic compounds to which humans are pervasively exposed. Despite a significant health risk due to exposure, the mechanisms of aldehyde toxicity are poorly understood. This ambiguity is likely due to the structural diversity of aldehyde derivatives and corresponding differences in chemical reactions and biological targets. To gain mechanistic insight, we have used parameter...
