Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.1K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Bias

7.3K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

AC Sources

Direct current is a flow of electric charge in only one direction and has a steady state of constant voltage in the circuit. Rectifiers, batteries, commutator-equipped generators, and fuel cells are some examples of devices that generate direct current. Nowadays, most applications use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current is a flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction. An alternating current is produced by an alternating emf that is generated in a power plant. If...

Position and Displacement01:31

Position and Displacement

25.3K
The position of an object defines its location relative to a convenient frame of reference at any particular time. A frame of reference is an arbitrary set of axes from which the position and motion of an object are described. Earth is often used as a frame of reference, and we often describe the position of an object as it relates to stationary objects on Earth. For example, a rocket launch could be described in terms of the position of the rocket with respect to Earth as a whole. On the other...

Displacement Current01:19

Displacement Current

Ampère's law, in its usual form, does not work in places where the current changes with time and is not steady. Thus, Maxwell suggested including an additional contribution, called the displacement current, Id, to the real conduction current I.

Area of Science:

  • Microfluidics
  • Biotechnology
  • Particle Separation Technology

Background:

  • Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a microfluidic technique for size-based particle separation.
  • Separating particles below the critical diameter in DLD devices remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel particle separation technique combining DLD with orthogonal electrokinetic forces.
  • To enhance the separation of sub-critical diameter particles using tunable AC electric fields.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of planar electrodes into a DLD device to generate orthogonal electrokinetic forces.
  • Application of AC electric fields at varying frequencies to influence particle behavior.
  • Experimental validation using microspheres of 3.0 μm, 1.0 μm, and 500 nm diameters.

Main Results:

  • Electrophoretic (EP) and electroosmotic (EO) forces caused particle oscillations at low frequencies (up to 500 Hz).
  • Dielectrophoresis (DEP) became dominant at higher frequencies, altering particle paths.
  • Enhanced sorting of particles below the critical diameter was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The combined DLD and orthogonal electrokinetic forces technique effectively enhances particle separation.
  • Tunable AC electric fields offer precise control over particle trajectories in microfluidic devices.
  • This method provides a promising approach for high-resolution microparticle sorting.
