Note that we can give the same physical interpretation to every subsequent iteration in the iterative scheme (7.26). According to formulae (7.12) and (7.43), the direction of the steepest ascent I (p ) on each iteration can be computed using migration of the residual field (Q — gr (C)], which is the difference between the predicted field on the n-th iteration, g , and the observed gravity field gr ... 

Separation processes not involving phase separation can arise fi om differential migration of components in a gas or liquid, under gravity fields such as diffusion and ultra centrifiigation, or electrical fields, such as electrophoresis. In this chapter, phase separations will be described.

There are three types of mass transport processes within a microfluidic system convection, diffusion, and immigration. Much more common are mixtures of three types of mass transport. It is essential to design a well-controlled transport scheme for the microsystem. Convection can be generated by different forces, such as capillary effect, thermal difference, gravity, a pressurized air bladder, the centripetal forces in a spinning disk, mechanical and electroosmotic pumps, in the microsystem. The mechanical and electroosmotic pumps are often used for transport in a microfluidic system due to their convenience, and will be further discussed in section 11.5.2. The migration is a direct transport of molecules in response to an electric field. In most cases, the moving... 

Pressure or vacuums may be applied to filtering systems to hasten the removal of contaminants. Other systems only use gravity, which involves percolating contaminated water through artificial beds or columns containing sand and other materials. In the field, artificial or natural sediment layers routinely filter water as it migrates into the subsurface (Jekel, 1994, 129). Although many filtration systems will not remove dissolved arsenic, filters can physically remove iron (oxy)(hydr)oxides and other particles that coprecipitate and sorb arsenic. 

In two-dimensional electrophoresis the charged particle migrates in a field of two forces which act perpendicularly to one another. The first force F creates a vertical hydrodynamic field. A flow of liquid runs by gravity down a vertical curtainlike supporting medium to which we shall refer as the substrate. The liquid is a buffer solution which through its pH and ionic strength determines the mobility of the particle. 

Let US examine the basic properties of the migration density distribution Pm (C) 1 obtained as the result of gravity migration. Using representation (7.42) of the migration field in the form of the field generated by the sources shifted to the upper half-plane, and taking into account formula (7.35), we compute a real part of ... 

Figure 11. Separation of treated and untreated human erythrocytes by low-electric-field electrophoresis. Human erythrocytes (5 x 107) treated with neuraminidase are mixed with 5 x 107 untreated erythrocytes to a final volume of 5 ml and layered onto a linear gradient of 1.5-cm height. Electrophoresis proceeds for 25 min at 5°C at a constant current of 90 mA. An identical suspension is subjected to velocity sedimentation at unit gravity only. (O) Separation at unit gravity ( ) separation at unit gravity and by electrophoresis. Areas under the migration profile are depicted in shading. Gravity and electric forces act in the same direction (to the right). (Figures 8—11 reproduced with kind permission of the editor of Anal. Biochem.)...
