A Maxwellian Valve based on centrifugal forces

Maxwellian Valves based on centrifugal forces

A mechanism is described which can create a chemical potential gradient from a single heat reservoir. The mechanism is equivalent to a Maxwellian valve. Heat supplies the energy through thermal fluctuations to form the gradient contrary to the second law. A quantitative analysis of the system is given.

A Maxwellian Perspective on Particle Acceleration

In a Maxwellian view, an accelerator of charged particles converts electromagnetic field energy into mechanical energy of the particles. A conventional accelerator based on a resonant cavity emphasizes interference between the drive fields and the the spontaneous radiation fields (those fields radiated when charged particles pass through an otherwise empty cavity). In this case the interference...

task-based language teaching in iran: a mixed study through constructing and validating a new questionnaire based on theoretical, sociocultural, and educational frameworks

جنبه های گوناگونی از زندگی در ایران را از جمله سبک زندگی، علم و امکانات فنی و تکنولوژیکی می توان کم یا بیش وارداتی در نظر گرفت. زبان انگلیسی و روش تدریس آن نیز از این قاعده مثتسنی نیست. با این حال گاهی سوال پیش می آید که آیا یک روش خاص با زیر ساخت های نظری، فرهنگی اجتماعی و آموزشی جامعه ایرانی سازگاری دارد یا خیر. این تحقیق بر اساس روش های ترکیبی انجام شده است.پرسش نامه ای نیز برای زبان آموزان ...

Isolation and retrieval of circulating tumor cells using centrifugal forces

Presence and frequency of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in bloodstreams of cancer patients are pivotal to early cancer detection and treatment monitoring. Here, we use a spiral microchannel with inherent centrifugal forces for continuous, size-based separation of CTCs from blood (Dean Flow Fractionation (DFF)) which facilitates easy coupling with conventional downstream biological assays....
