Various Factors on Electroosmosis (1)

Electroosmosis in Nitella

The role of electroosmosis was studied directly in Nitella. The cells were mounted in a water-tight barrier between two chambers containing reversible electrodes for the application of potentials, and fitted with calibrated capillaries to measure water movement. No water movement was found when small existing bioelectric potentials were short-circuited through an external connection, nor when e...

Microfluidic Transport by AC Electroosmosis

AC Electro-osmosis (ACEO) is a newly developed microfluidic mechanism, which can transport fluids and particles with low voltage that is suitable for integration with IC circuitry. We observed line formation of particles on electrodes by ACEO, leading to better understanding of ACEO microflows. Also by identifying a new ACEO mechanism from electrochemical reaction, we developed Asymmetric Polar...

Effects of Various Risk Factors on Myopia Progression

Background: Myopia has different prevalence rate worldwide and there is controversial points about its environmental risk factors. The prevalence of myopia in medical interns atShirazMedicalSchool and its probable risk factors were studied. Method: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, three hundred interns (7th-year medical students) at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences were examine...
