Run-and-tumble-like motion of active colloids in viscoelastic media
Run-and-tumblemotion is a prominent locomotion strategy employed bymany livingmicroorganisms. It is characterized by straight swimming intervals (runs), which are interrupted by sudden reorientation events (tumbles). In contrast, directional changes of syntheticmicroswimmers (active particles) are caused by rotational diffusion, which is superimposedwith their translationalmotion and thus leads...
متن کاملActive-passive calibration of optical tweezers in viscoelastic media.
In order to use optical tweezers as a force measuring tool inside a viscoelastic medium such as the cytoplasm of a living cell, it is crucial to perform an exact force calibration within the complex medium. This is a nontrivial task, as many of the physical characteristics of the medium and probe, e.g., viscosity, elasticity, shape, and density, are often unknown. Here, we suggest how to calibr...
متن کاملImage Selective Segmentation under Geometrical Constraints Using an Active Contour Approach
In this paper we propose a new model for segmentation of an image under some geometrical constraints in order to detect special regions of interest. Our work is based on the recent work by Gout et al. [Numer. Algorithms, 39 (2005), pp. 155-173 and 48 (2008), pp. 105-133] using geodesic active contours models, by combining it with the idea of a piecewise constant Mumford-Shah model as with the n...
متن کاملGeometrical complexity of conformations of ring polymers under topological constraints.
One measure of geometrical complexity of a spatial curve is the average of the number of crossings appearing in its planar projection. The mean number of crossings averaged over some directions have been numerically evaluated for N-noded ring polymers with a fixed knot type. When N is large, the average crossing number of ring polymers under the topological constraint is smaller than that of no...
متن کاملEmergent behavior in active colloids
Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain how artificial microswimmers move forward by generating near-surface flow fields via self-phoresis or the self-induced Marangoni effect. We then discuss generic features of the dynamics of single active colloids in bulk ...
