The role of affordances In our opinion the model would be improved if affordance for action mechanisms were integrated: The potentiation of motor interactions consistent with the conventional use of a perceived tool (Bub et al., 2008). Affordances would easily explain the mechanism underlying the quick choice of the most appropriate tool when an action goal is given. In Figure 1A, bidirectional...

Background In recent years, the use of disposables in the pharmaceutical industry has increased extensively. Disposables can be used in many areas of biopharmaceutical production. The use of disposables not only reduces investment costs, but also requires less manpower to operate, since time consuming change-over procedures are significantly reduced. In addition, disposables enable a high flexi...
