Size-Selective Sliding of Sessile Drops on a Slightly Inclined Plane Using Low-Frequency AC Electrowetting by Jiwoo Hong (1782454)

“…When the drop size or the plane’s incline angle is small, the drop is difficult to slide due to a decrease in gravitational force. Here we demonstrate that small drops (0.4–9 μL) on a slightly inclined plane (∼12°, Teflon and parylene-C surface) can be mobilized through patterned electrodes by applying low-frequency ac electrowetting under 400 Hz (110–180 V_rms), which has a mechanism different from that of the high-frequency ac method that induces sliding by reducing contact angle hysteresis. …”

Data_Sheet_2_Can Simulator Sickness Be Avoided? A Review on Temporal Aspects of Simulator Sickness.PDF by Natalia Dużmańska (5932955)

“…As for the first aspect, it is clear that in most cases severity of the simulator sickness symptoms increases with time of exposure, although it is impossible to develop a single, universal pattern for this effect. It has also been proved, that in some cases a threshold level or time point exists, after which the symptoms stop increasing or begin to decrease. …”
