Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate01:25

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate

1.2K
Aggregate shape is classified based on the relative sharpness or roundness of the edges and corners. This classification includes categories like rounded, angular, elongated, and flaky, each with specific characteristics. Rounded aggregates, fully shaped by attrition, are typical of river or seashore gravel, while angular aggregates, such as crushed rock, have well-defined edges. Aggregates that are elongated and flaky are less desirable, as they can reduce the workability and strength of...

Microbial Morphologies

5.0K
Bacterial and archaeal cells exhibit remarkable diversity in shape and structure, critical in their adaptability and functionality. Among bacteria, the most commonly observed shapes include cocci and bacilli. Cocci are spherical and may exist singly or in groupings such as pairs (diplococci), chains (streptococci), clusters (staphylococci), or tetrads. Bacilli, in contrast, are rod-shaped and can also occur as single cells, in pairs, or chains, depending on their environmental and genetic...

Pore Size Distribution01:23

Pore Size Distribution

634
In concrete, the pore size distribution significantly influences the material's properties. Capillary pores, markedly larger than gel pores, form a vast network within partially hydrated cement paste, reducing the concrete's strength and increasing its permeability. This heightened permeability leads to a greater risk of damage from environmental factors like freeze-thaw cycles and chemical attacks, with the extent of vulnerability also being tied to the water-to-cement ratio.

Types of Membrane Protrusions01:28

Types of Membrane Protrusions

4.0K
The protrusion of the cell surface is an initial step for several cellular processes, including cell migration, phagocytosis, and neurite outgrowth. These membrane protrusions are a result of cytoskeletal rearrangement. The most  widely observed cell protrusions include lamellipodia, pseudopodia, filopodia, microvilli, invadopodia, and podosomes. These protrusions can be of two types — static or dynamic.
The microvilli, an example of stable protrusions, are finger-like projections...

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy01:18

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

12.3K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Classification of Bones01:18

Classification of Bones

15.6K
The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The...

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Biophysics
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • The resistive-pulse technique measures particle volume by detecting ion current changes through a pore.
  • Current limitations prevent distinguishing particles of similar volume but different shapes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a resistive-pulse method capable of differentiating particle shapes (spherical vs. rod-shaped) and lengths.
  • To utilize pores with longitudinal irregularities for enhanced particle characterization.

Main Methods:

  • Experiments were conducted using pores with engineered longitudinal irregularities.
  • The ion current modulations within resistive pulses were analyzed to extract particle information.
  • Spherical and rod-shaped particles of varying lengths were translocated through the pores.

Main Results:

  • Pores with longitudinal irregularities successfully distinguished between spherical and rod-shaped particles.
  • Ion current modulations provided information on the length of translocating objects.
  • Rod-shaped particles exhibited rotation and displaced a larger effective volume than their geometric volume, dependent on pore diameter.

Conclusions:

  • Irregularly shaped pores offer a sensitive approach to particle shape and length discrimination.
  • The resistive-pulse technique can be advanced for more detailed particle analysis beyond volume.
  • Understanding particle translocation dynamics, including rotation and effective volume displacement, is crucial for accurate characterization.
