A significant challenge in the synthesis of uniform membranes via electrospinning is achieving a spatially uniform deposition of electrospun fibers. The problem is more pronounced in the case of a multi-spinneret system due to self repulsion between the jets. In this study, electric field manipulation ( via auxiliary electrodes) is explored as a potential technique for controlling the spatial deposition area of electrospun fiber. It was observed experimentally that the location and size of the deposition area can be moved linearly in response to the applied voltages at the auxiliary electrodes. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to simulate the electric field strength and distribution at a given applied voltage and its effect on the flight path of electrospun fiber. Comparisons between experiments and simulations were made in evaluating the accuracy of simulations. The adaptation of this technique in production would provide a method of controlled deposition for producing uniform electrospun fiber membranes.

Decision Tasks

Decisions in the natural world are rarely made in isolation. Each action that an organism selects will affect the future situations in which it finds itself, and those situations will in turn affect the future actions that are available. Achieving real-world goals often requires successfully navigating a sequence of many actions. An efficient and flexible way to achieve such goals is to construct an internal model of the environment, and use it to plan behavior multiple steps into the future. This process is known as multi-step planning, and its neural mechanisms are only beginning to be understood. Here, we review recent advances in our understanding of these mechanisms, many of which take advantage of multi-step decision tasks for humans and animals.

Nanotechnology has proven its importance in almost all areas, and textile industry is not an expectation. Several applications of nanotechnology can be extended to attain the performance enhancement of textile manufacturing machines and processes. Using different methods like electro spraying and electro spinning, various materials have been used to increase additional functions in textiles. This treatment is applied to give textiles the desired handle, to make further processing easier and to improve the thermal and antistatic properties. In this manuscript, we have summarized the recent advances made in nanotechnology and the methods of fabricating functional fibers by electrospinning and melt spinning preparation. Applications of the nanotechnology in textile industries are also summarized in this paper with some novel ideas that can be utilized for the future research in this area.

David Magnusson has been the most articulate spokesperson for a holistic, systems approach to personality. This paper considers three concepts relevant to a dynamic systems approach to personality: dynamics, systems, and levels. Some of the history of a dynamic view is traced, leading to an emphasis on the need for stressing the interplay among goals. Concepts such as multidetermination, equipotentiality, and equifinality are shown to be important aspects of a systems approach. Finally, attention is drawn to the question of levels of description, analysis, and explanation in a theory of personality. The importance of the issue is emphasized in relation to recent advances in our understanding of biological processes. Integrating such advances into a theory of personality while avoiding the danger of reductionism is a challenge for the future.
