This paper reports on a novel method for on-chip continuous separation of dividing and non-dividing cells based on differences in their dielectric properties. By means of two opposite dielectrophoretic force fields at multiple frequencies, the two populations of cells flowing through the microfluidic device are focused towards distinct equilibrium positions, which can be correlated to their cel...

In this work, we are interested in the controllability of Vlasov-Poisson systems in the presence of an external force field (namely a bounded force field or a magnetic field), by means of a local interior control. We are able to extend the results of [7], where the only present force was the self-consistent electric field.

Wireless Field Force Automation (WFFA) is a wireless solution designed to support field staff such as service personnel, repair or installation employees, technical teams, or medical workers. Certain companies try to provide their field workers with this sort of solution to improve their productivity, their effectiveness and to reduce administrative costs, but more than 50% of these projects fa...

in this paper, the direct extrusion process of bimetallic rods in conical dies is analyzed by an improved upper bound method. the deformation zone is subdivided into six smaller zones and by considering a non-spherical entrance boundary to the deformation zone, a velocity field is presented which is different from velocity fields employed in previous studies. the total power consumption of the ...

The derivation of the van der Waals parameters for the aliphatic CH united atoms of the GROMOS96 force field is presented. The parameters n have been adjusted to reproduce the experimental enthalpies of vaporization and vapor pressures or densities of a set of nine alkanes in the liquid state at 298 Ž . K or at the boiling point in the case of methane , using a cutoff radius for the van der Waa...

casimir forces of massive ferrnionic dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. it is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields casimir force for each degree of freedom. we argue this equality ex...

The effect of the force chain network on sound propagation in a granular material is poorly understood. To quantitatively study these effects, we perform acoustics experiments in a two dimensional photoelastic granular material in which force chains are visible. We send acoustic pulses into the material from a point source and measure the effects of this pulse via two methods: accelerometers wi...
