Designing single-layer PDMS devices for micron to millimeter-scale deformations
Leon V. Gebhard, Alexandre S. Avaro, Gabriel Amselem +1
The elasticity of PDMS has played a central role in advancing important microfluidic technologies, ranging from early valves to sophisticated organ-on-a-chip systems. However, most…
Deformation and organization of droplet-encapsulated soft beads
Shunsuke Saita, Finn Bastian Molzahn, Clara Delahousse +2
Many biological, culinary, and engineering processes lead to the co-encapsulation of several soft particles within a liquid interface. In these situations the particles are bound t…
Motion and hydrodynamic resistance of an elastic bead confined in a square microchannel
Charles Paul Moore, Hiba Belkadi, Brouna Safi +2
Cells and other soft particles are often forced to flow in confined geometries in both laboratory and natural environments, where the elastic deformation induces an additional drag…
Estimation of the lifetime distribution from fluctuations in Bellman-Harris processes
Jules Olayé, Hala Bouzidi, Andrey Aristov +4
The growth of a population is often modeled as branching process where each individual at the end of its life is replaced by a certain number of offspring. An example of these bran…
