A film-stacked structure consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films stacked in a gap of 20 µm that can be combined with 96-well microplates used in biochemical analysis has been developed by the authors. When this structure is inserted into a well and rotated, convection flow is generated in the narrow gaps between the films to enhance the chemical/bio reaction between the molecules. However, since the main component of the flow is a swirling flow, only a part of the solution circulates into the gaps, and reaction efficiency is not achieved as designed. In this study, an unsteady rotation is applied to promote the analyte transport into the gaps using the secondary flow generated on the surface of the rotating disk. Finite element analysis is used to evaluate the changes in flow and concentration distribution for each rotation operation and to optimize the rotation conditions. In addition, the molecular binding ratio for each rotation condition is evaluated. It is shown that the unsteady rotation accelerates the binding reaction of proteins in an ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay), a type of immunoassay.

Background/hypothesis: Motion sensitivity symptoms, such as dizziness or unsteadiness, are frequently reported as non-headache symptoms of migraine. Postural imbalance has been observed in subjects with vestibular migraine, chronic migraine, and aura. We aimed to assess the ability of largest Lyapunov's exponent for a short time series (sLLE), which reflects the ability to cope with internal perturbations during gait, to detect differences in local dynamic stability between individuals with migraine without aura (MO) with an episodic pattern between attacks and healthy subjects (HS).

: Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a frequent diagnosis in patients with chronic dizziness, ineffective postural control, visual dependence, and emotional symptoms. : 53 patients with PPPD (25-84 years old) and 53 adults (29-84 years old) with no vestibular disease agreed to participate in this study. Assessments included: vestibular function tests (sinusoidal yaw rotation and vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials); accuracy and precision of Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) estimation while static and during on-axis yaw rotation; static posturography with open/closed eyes and 30° neck extension, while standing on hard/soft surface; questionnaires on symptoms of unsteadiness, spatial anxiety, dizziness-related handicap, anxiety/depression, depersonalization/derealization, and perceived stress.

Insects' flight is imbued with endless mysteries, offering valuable inspiration to the flapping-wing robots. Particularly, the multi-mode wingbeat motion such as flapping, sweeping and twisting in coordination presents advantages in promoting unsteady aerodynamics and enhancing lift force. To achieve the flapping-twisting-sweeping motion capability, this paper proposes an at-scale three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) mechanism driven by three piezoelectric actuators, which consists of three four-bar mechanisms and a parallel spherical mechanism.

The main objective of the current endeavor is to monitor hypothetical processes utilizing a Sisko tri-hybrid fluid over a rotating disk with entropy generation suspended in Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium. Electro Magneto Hydro Dynamics (EMHD), non-linear thermal radiation and exponential and thermal- space dependent heat source/sink coefficients are considered with the intent of conceiving an Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with shooting procedures integrated with a combination of an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA). Then, ANFIS-RSA, is used to predict the Nusselt number, skin friction co-efficient in radial and tangential velocities.

We study the general periodic motion of a set of three point vortices in the plane, as well as the potentially chaotic motion of one or more tracer particles. While the motion of three vortices is simple in that it can only be periodic, the actual orbits can be surprisingly complex and varied. This rich behavior arises from the existence of both co-linear and equilateral relative equilibria (steady motion in a rotating frame of reference).
