  1. 46. Tracking the growth of cells using microfluidic sensors
    Michel Godin

    Medical and Biological Physics / Physique médicale et biologique (DMBP-DPMB)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Monitoring the growth of cells is of fundamental interest in biology and biomedicine. Over the decades, various approaches have been developed to infer growth patterns, but different studies often reach irreconcilable conclusions due to a lack of resolution or to population averaging. In recent years, the integration of biosensors within microfluidic environments has yielded improved...

  2. 29. Shear-induced enhancement of solute mass transport in flows of concentrated suspensions through microchannels
    Dr Arun Ramachandran (University of Toronto)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The transport of a solute carried in the suspending fluid of a particulate suspension flowing in sub-millimeter-sized conduits is an important problem that has relevance in several different fields: metabolite exchange between blood and tissues, design of dialysis machines, drilling mud selection, organic and nutrient transport in microbial suspensions in anaerobic reactors, etc. A mechanism...

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    Undulatory motion is utilized by crawlers and swimmers, such as snakes and sperm, at length scales ranging more than seven orders of magnitude. The understanding of this highly efficient form of locomotion requires an experimental characterization of the passive material properties of the crawler, as well as of its active force output on the surrounding medium. Here we present a novel...

  4. 134. Dynamics of field-driven colloids
    Anand Yethiraj (Memorial University)

    Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    External electric fields modify inter-particle colloidal interactions and the resulting ´´electrorheological´´ structures are well documented [1]. However, the dynamics of colloids in the presence of these external fields is less studied [2]. In this work, the dynamics of colloids is reported in three regimes. At high frequencies, inter-particle dipolar interactions dominate. At...
