High radical acceleration in microvortices
Article Abstract:
A single re-circulating flow, or microvortex, that can generate a maximum fluid rotation velocity of up to 12 m s and a corresponding radial acceleration in excess of 10 to the power 6 g is described. Such microvortices may be exploited in centrifugal microdevices to investigate the effects of high radial acceleration on biological and chemical processes.

How neurons avoid derailment
Article Abstract:
The mechanism behind the selection of highly specific path in the nervous system by the axons is discussed. Detail studies to explore these mechanisms on different environment are presented.
