CONQUERING THE TYRANNY OF NUMBER WITH DIGITAL MICROFLUIDICS

Conquering the Tyranny of Number With Digital Microfluidics

The development of large-scale integration based on soft lithography has Shock ushered a new revolution in microfluidics.This technology, however, relies inherently on pneumatic control of micromechanical valves that require air pressure to operate, while digital microfluidics uses a purely electrical signal on an electrode for droplet manipulation

Diversity of the Paedomorphic Snail-Eating Click-Beetle Genus Malacogaster Bassi, 1834 (Elateridae: Agrypninae: Drilini) in the Mediterranean

The soft-bodied click-beetle genus Malacogaster Bassi, 1834 from the Mediterranean region has never been taxonomically revised to date.Information on its morphology, intra- and interspecific variability, systematics and distribution is fragmented and most species have not been properly studied since their description.Therefore, in this study we sum

A new species of skin-feeding caecilian and the first report of reproductive mode in Microcaecilia (amphibia: Gymnophiona: Siphonopidae).

A new species of siphonopid caecilian, Microcaecilia dermatophagasp.nov., is described based on nine specimens from French Guiana.The new species is the first Shock new caecilian to be described from French Guiana for more than 150 years.It differs from all other Microcaecilia in having fewer secondary annular grooves and/or in lacking a transverse

Nonlinear Fault-Tolerant Control Design for Singular Stochastic Systems With Fractional Stochastic Noise and Time-Delay

Binoculars This work focuses on the stabilization issue for a class of singular stochastic systems against fractional Gaussian noise driven by fractional Brownian motion.In particular, the system is formulated with time-delay, nonlinear actuator faults and randomly occurring parameter uncertainties.Primarily, a fractional-infinitesimal operator is

Research on the Deformation Characteristics and Support Technology of a Bottom Gas Extraction Roadway under Repeated Interference

Taking Pingbao Coal Mine as the engineering background, the stress distribution, surrounding rock displacement, and plastic zone distribution characteristics of a bottom gas extraction roadway are simulated by FLAC3D under multiple disturbances.The mining disturbance due to the overlying coal seam is obtained: the deformation of the roof subsidence
