An Interfacial Tensiometer for Universal Use
The important and fundamental works of Quincke, Hardy, McC. Lewis, Morgan, and lately Harkins and his collaborators have thrown much light on the behavior of liquids at interfaces, and it may seem hardly necessary to develop a new method in order to study this phenomenon, as those existing have reached a high degree of accuracy. However, if the values of the interfacial tensions of pure liquids...
متن کاملAn inexpensive Arduino-based LED stimulator system for vision research.
Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are being used increasingly as light sources in life sciences applications such as in vision research, fluorescence microscopy and in brain-computer interfacing. Here we present an inexpensive but effective visual stimulator based on light emitting diodes (LEDs) and open-source Arduino microcontroller prototyping platform. The main design goal of our system was to u...
متن کاملFMCW radars for snow research
Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars have been used by snow scientists for the past 30 years. This radar technology provides a promising alternative to point measurements, as properties such as snow depth can be measured quickly and nondestructively. Recent advances in microwave FMCWradar technology have resulted in lightweight, portable instrumentation. This is in contrast to the ...
متن کاملLate snow melt moderates herbivore disturbance of the Arctic tundra
Resilience of tundra vegetation to disturbance by herbivores can be low and lead to ecosystem state shifts. Pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus are the most numerous herbivore on Svalbard and disturb vegetation when foraging for below-ground plant biomass (grubbing). We assessed grubbing extent (occurrence of vegetation disturbance) and intensity (proportion of vegetation disturbed) in 2006/...
