In this paper we consider the joint relationship between immigration and unemployment rates
in Canada, conditional on aggregate demand and supply factors, using quarterly data for …

By manipulating colloidal microspheres within customized channels, we have created
micrometer-scale fluid pumps and particulate valves. We describe two positive-displacement …

Effective methods for manipulating, isolating and sorting cells and particles are essential for
the development of microfluidic-based life science research and diagnostic platforms. We …

In the last two decades, risk parity has become quite popular with institutional investors and
is often used to construct both traditional and alternative investments portfolios (see Da Silva…

We demonstrate a new technique for trapping, sorting, and manipulating cells and
micrometer-sized particles within microfluidic systems, using a diode laser bar. This approach …

In this letter, an optical microfabrication and actuation method for the creation of microfluidic
structures is described. In this approach, an optical trap is used to position and polymerize …

Microbot (μbot)–based targeted drug delivery has attracted increasing attention due to its
potential for avoiding side effects associated with systemic delivery. To date, most μbots are …

To overcome the reversible nature of low-Reynolds-number flow, a variety of biomimetic
microrobotic propulsion schemes and devices capable of rapid transport have been developed. …

The natural separation maintained by microfluidic flows is employed as the basis of a particle/cell
sorting device. This method of separating particulate suspensions exploits the inherent …

The measurement of cell elastic parameters using optical forces has great potential as a
reagent-free method for cell classification, identification of phenotype, and detection of disease; …
