In the present paper a model is presented for the dynamic response of a family (Droseraceae) of carnivorous plants such as the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea Muscipulu Ellis) and the Waterwheel Plant (Aldrovanda Vesicuha) to external dynamic disturbances. The goal of the present investigation is to apply such modelling to the molecular design of biomimetic materials with sensors and actuators. In model...

This paper reports on the state-of-the-art of technologies for the design and fabrication of MEMS micro-mirrors. We discuss the major design issues, considerations, calculations and restrictions of micro mirrors. The materials employed for the reflective surfaces are described along with their properties. The materials used for the static and dynamic MEMS micro structures as well as the differe...

because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the lattice boltzmann method (lbm) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. the slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. the most used slip boundary condition is the maxwell slip model. the results of maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...

An analysis of map charts Upper Silesia from the second half 18th century allows us to identify at least a few lost settlements and hamlets. There is no doubt that one such settlement existed upon Bierawka river, in vicinity present-day villages Trachy (Althammer) Tworóg Mały (Quarghammer). Regrettably, exact location this has never been identified. archival query test excavations demonstrated ...
