Boosting micromachine studies with Stokesian Dynamics
I. Berdakin, V. I. Marconi, Adolfo J. Banchio
Artificial microswimmers, nano and microrobots, are essential in many applications from engineering to biology and medicine. We present a Stokesian Dynamics study of the dynamical…
On the Relationship between Sum-Product Networks and Bayesian Networks
Han Zhao, Mazen Melibari, Pascal Poupart
In this paper, we establish some theoretical connections between Sum-Product Networks (SPNs) and Bayesian Networks (BNs). We prove that every SPN can be converted into a BN in line…
Geometrical guidance and trapping transition of human sperm cells
A. Guidobaldi, Y. Jeyaram, I. Berdakin +5
The guidance of human sperm cells under confinement in quasi 2D microchambers is investigated using a purely physical method to control their distribution. Transport property measu…
Influence of swimming strategy on microorganism separation by asymmetric obstacles
I. Berdakin, Y. Jeyaram, V. V. Moshchalkov +6
It has been shown that a nanoliter chamber separated by a wall of asymmetric obstacles can lead to an inhomogeneous distribution of self-propelled microorganisms. Although it is we…
Quantifying the sorting efficiency of self-propelled run-and-tumble swimmers by geometrical ratchets
I. Berdakin, A. V. Silhanek, H. N. Moyano +2
Suitable asymmetric microstructures can be used to control the direction of motion in microorganism populations. This rectification process makes it possible to accumulate swimmers…
Modeling Rectification Effects in Mesoscopic Superconducting Devices
M. F. Carusela, V. P. Ramunni, V. I. Marconi
We study thermal fluctuations and capacitive effects on small Josephson Junction Rings (JJR) that mimics the rectification phenomena recently observed in triangle shaped mesoscopic…
