Evanescent fields - direct measurement, modeling, and application.

Microscopy research and technique

Huntington ST, Ladouceur F.
PMID: 17279516
Microsc Res Tech. 2007 Mar;70(3):181-5. doi: 10.1002/jemt.20405.

The evanescent field surrounding an exposed planar waveguide in silica is accurately measured using scanning near field optical microscopy (SNOM) and compared to models of the field distribution. Distortions in the field due to edge effects and the proximity...

The amount of ergonomics and user involvement in 151 design processes.

Work (Reading, Mass.)

Kok BN, Slegers K, Vink P.
PMID: 22316850
Work. 2012;41:989-96. doi: 10.3233/WOR-2012-0275-989.

Ergonomics, usability and user-centered design are terms that are well known among designers. Yet, products often seem to fail to meet the users' needs, resulting in a gap between expected and experienced usability. To understand the possible causes of...

Microfluidic automation using elastomeric valves and droplets: reducing reliance on external controllers.

Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)

Kim SJ, Lai D, Park JY, Yokokawa R, Takayama S.
PMID: 22761019
Small. 2012 Oct 08;8(19):2925-34. doi: 10.1002/smll.201200456. Epub 2012 Jul 03.

This paper gives an overview of elastomeric valve- and droplet-based microfluidic systems designed to minimize the need of external pressure to control fluid flow. This Concept article introduces the working principle of representative components in these devices along with...

Micropillar sequence designs for fundamental inertial flow transformations.

Lab on a chip

Stoecklein D, Wu CY, Owsley K, Xie Y, Di Carlo D, Ganapathysubramanian B.
PMID: 25268387
Lab Chip. 2014 Nov 07;14(21):4197-204. doi: 10.1039/c4lc00653d.

The ability to control the shape of a flow in a passive microfluidic device enables potential applications in chemical reaction control, particle separation, and complex material fabrication. Recent work has demonstrated the concept of sculpting fluid streams in a...

Science versus design; comparable, contrastive or conducive?.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials

Verkerke GJ, van der Houwen EB, Broekhuis AA, Bursa J, Catapano G, McCullagh P, Mottaghy K, Niederer P, Reilly R, Rogalewicz V, Segers P, Verdonschot N.
PMID: 23566771
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2013 May;21:195-201. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2013.01.009. Epub 2013 Jan 20.

Science and design are two completely separated areas of expertise with their own specialists. Science analyses the existing world to create new knowledge, design uses existing knowledge to create a new world. This tunnel-vision mentality and narrow-minded approach is...

Virtual Reality Training System for Anytime/Anywhere Acquisition of Surgical Skills: A Pilot Study.

Military medicine

Zahiri M, Booton R, Nelson CA, Oleynikov D, Siu KC.
PMID: 29635551
Mil Med. 2018 Mar 01;183:86-91. doi: 10.1093/milmed/usx138.

This article presents a hardware/software simulation environment suitable for anytime/anywhere surgical skills training. It blends the advantages of physical hardware and task analogs with the flexibility of virtual environments. This is further enhanced by a web-based implementation of training...

Towards Characterization and Adaptive Compensation of Backlash in a Novel Robotic Catheter System for Cardiovascular Interventions.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems

Omisore OM, Han SP, Ren LX, Wang GS, Ou FL, Li H, Wang L.
PMID: 29994773
IEEE Trans Biomed Circuits Syst. 2018 Aug;12(4):824-838. doi: 10.1109/TBCAS.2018.2825359. Epub 2018 May 15.

Despite the success and prospects of the robotic catheter system for the cardiovascular access, loss of vision, and haptics have limited its global adoption. A direct implication is the great difficulty posed when trying to eliminate the backlash in...

Conservation by design.

Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology

Root-Bernstein M, Ladle RJ.
PMID: 20408866
Conserv Biol. 2010 Oct;24(5):1205-11. doi: 10.1111/j.1523-1739.2010.01501.x.

Conservation researchers are increasingly aware of the need to conduct interdisciplinary research and to engage nonscientists in practical applications of conservation biology. But so far, industrial designers have been left out of such collaboration and outreach efforts. Conservation of...
