We describe the general phenomenon of ‘induced-charge electro-osmosis’ (ICEO) –
the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs when an applied field acts on the ionic
charge it induces around a polarizable surface. Motivated by a simple physical picture,
we calculate ICEO…

The design and construction of a biomimetic flapping
foil autonomous underwater vehicle is detailed. The vehicle was
designed as a proof of concept for the use of oscillating foils as
the sole source of motive power for a cruising and…

The MIT Libraries'€™ proposed to the Mellon Foundation to plan a preservation archive for
dynamic electronic journals (DEJA : a€“ Dynamic E-Journal Archive) that would be reliable, secure,
enduring, and sustainable over the long term. The Foundation'€™s own request for…

Current modeling of endothelial cell mechanics does not account for the network of F-actin that permeates the
cytoplasm. This network, the distributed cytoplasmic structural actin (DCSA), extends from apical to basal membranes, with
frequent attachments. Stress fibers are intercalated within…

A continuum model describing the steady-state actin dynamics of the cytoskeleton of living cells Has been
developed to aid in the interpretation of photoactivated fluorescence experiments. In a simplified cell geometry, the model
assumes uniform concentrations of cytosolic and cytoskeletal…

DSpace is a joint development project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries and Hewlett-Packard Company. Its mission is to establish a library service to capture, distribute, and preserve the digital, intellectual output of the MIT community. We are developing…
