The reaction of blinded goldfish to rotation in a centrifuge.
Blinded goldfish are known to respond to absolute rotation about the vertical axis by swimming so as to counteract the imposed rotation (Harden Jones, 1957). This reaction has also been found in blind cave fish, Anoptichthys jordam, and in normal goldfish in visual and absolute darkness (Howland, 1958). The experiments of Harden Jones in which the fish and the bowl containing the fish were rota...
متن کاملAn optical apparatus for rotation and trapping.
We present details of the design, construction, and testing of a single-beam optical tweezers apparatus capable of measuring and exerting torque, as well as force, on microfabricated, optically anisotropic particles (an "optical torque wrench"). The control of angular orientation is achieved by rotating the linear polarization of a trapping laser with an electro-optic modulator (EOM), which aff...
متن کاملForced Convection Heat Transfer of Giesekus Viscoelastic Fluid in Concentric Annulus with both Cylinders Rotation
A theoretical solution is presented for the forced convection heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid obeying the Giesekus constitutive equation in a concentric annulus under steady state, laminar, and purely tangential flow. A relative rotational motion exists between the inner and the outer cylinders, which induces the flow. A constant temperature was set in both cylinders, in this study. The f...
متن کاملControlled rotation of birefringent particles in an optical trap.
Optical traps have been used in a multitude of applications requiring the sensing and application of forces. However, optical traps also have the ability to accurately apply and sense torques. Birefringent particles experience a torque when trapped in elliptically polarized light. By measuring the frequency content of the exiting beam, the rotational rates can be set up in a feedback loop and a...
متن کاملResonant Magneto-Optical Rotation: New Twists in an Old Plot
Faraday e ect [1] is the rotation of the plane of linear light polarization by a medium in a magnetic eld applied in the direction of light propagation. In 1898, Macaluso and Corbino [2], studying absorption spectra of the alkali atoms in the presence of magnetic elds, discovered that the Faraday e ect in the vicinity of resonance absorption lines also had a distinct resonant character. The ess...
