A Universal Way to Manipulate Droplet via Light‐Fueled Thermocapillary Convection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A non‐contact light‐induced droplet manipulation strategy fueled by mid‐infrared (MIR) light irradiation is introduced. No additional additives and/or complex substrate are required. Here, thermocapillary convection, directly generated by temperature gradient at outer surface of droplet via localized surface heating, plays a key role to propel the ...

Stimulation of drop coalescence with acoustic cavitation [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991 A standing acoustic field was used to levitate a pair of anisole (methoxybenzene) drops in an aqueous surfactant solution containing Teflon particles to act as cavitation nuclei. The drops were brought into contact with each other by the levitation field but did not coalesce immediately because of the surfactant in the water.

Engineering Highly Cellularized Living Materials via Mechanical Agitation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A mechanical agitation strategy is developed to engineer highly cellularized living materials, achieving cell densities of up to 1 billion cells per milliliter. By precisely tuning properties such as stiffness and toughness in blood clots, the approach is validated in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Medicare 1971: Changing Attitudes and Changing Legislation [PDF]
, 1970 Bone conduction (BC) is the way sound energy is transmitted by the skull bones to the cochlea causing a sound perception. Even if the BC sound transmission involves several pathways including sound pressure induced in the ear canal, inertial forces ...

Tunable and Recyclable Piezoelectric Biomaterials via Ion‐Directed Guanine‐Quadruplex Assembly
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Guanine‐quadruplex (GQ) assemblies, formed via ion‐mediated self‐assembly of amphiphilic guanine derivatives, are introduced as tunable and recyclable piezoelectric biomaterials. Distinct alkali ions induce unique dipole configurations and piezoelectric outputs, with K⁺ yielding the highest performance.

Articulating: the neural mechanisms of speech production [PDF]
, 2019 Speech production is a highly complex sensorimotor task involving tightly coordinated processing across large expanses of the cerebral cortex. Historically, the study of the neural underpinnings of speech suffered from the lack of an animal model.

Perceptual and electrophysiological masking of the auditory brainstem response : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1987 Effective masking levels of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to tonepips were established on 10 normal-hearing subjects at 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz, using white noise.
