In order for droplet formation to occur, two immiscible phases, referred to as the continuous phase (medium in which droplets are generated) and dispersed phase (the droplet phase), must be used. The size of the generated droplets is mainly controlled by the flow rate ratio of the continuous phase and dispersed phase, ...

c_dv78mrcuofd4
Passive droplet formation tends to be more common than active as it produces similar results with simpler device designs. Generally, three types of microfluidic geometries are utilized for passive droplet generation: (i) Cross-Flowing, (ii) Flow focusing, and (iii) Co-Flowing. Droplet based microfluidics often operate ...

One main assumption for this method is that the motion is small (less than 1 pixel between two images for example). If the motion is large and violates this assumption, one technique is to reduce the resolution of images first and then apply the Lucas–Kanade method.In order to achieve motion tracking with this method, ...

In order for farmers to create a corn maze they must carefully plan their production, design, and marketing techniques in advance. Planting the correct variety of corn is important for the success of a corn maze. Farmers must consider stalk strength and height when selecting the right hybrid to plant.
Corn maze
c_4be9257c2nx7
Farmers must watch for stalk rot since it is one of the most frequently observed diseases. Key factors for stalk rot include improper fertilization, moisture stress, and disease development. Moderate plant population (about 20,000 plants per acre) would be considered ideal.

In order for needle ice to form there needs to be a process of ice segregation, which only occurs in a porous medium when supercooled water freezes into existing ice, growing away from the ice/water interface.

Places where the soil is much deeper and richer can affect the growth of the ice. Consequently, the deeper the soil, the larger the water content allows it to develop.

In order for originally horizontal beds to form the allochthonous salts, they must first break free of their geological restraints.

Hydraulic signaling in plants
c_6bvrwpwsrfj2
The daily physiological behavior of plants is tightly controlled by hydraulic signals. Gradients of water potentials are transferred across the plant through hydraulic signals. If the hydraulic signal originated in the root, it will result in local water potential changes, and consequently turgor changes.
Hydraulic signaling in plants
c_ou3fz6li9mlo
The water potential changes can be due to dry soil, water loss via transpiration or physically wounding the plant. These local water potential changes are then transmitted quickly over long-distances as hydraulic signals. Hydraulic signaling is fast and effective because of the cohesion and tension properties of water.
Hydraulic signaling in plants
c_34csixk9qrkg
Hydraulic signals can be propagated downward or upward, relaying water potential gradients throughout the entire plant. Hydraulic signals can be sensed in a few ways all relating to how an increase in water potential affects the plants. Because water leaves the cell, there is a reduction in the pressure potential and a...
Hydraulic signaling in plants
c_mwjyaxczlt9e
This is one way the hydraulic signal can be sensed, through sensing the osmotic environment. Increase in water potential also causes mechanical forces on the cell wall and plasma membrane of the cell. This is the second way to sense hydraulic signaling, by sensing the changes in the mechanical forces on the cell wall.

Once the polymerase nears the end of the gene it is transcribing, it encounters a series of G nucleotides which causes it to stall.
