Credit: 4D-BIOMAP The overarching idea of this research project is to influence different biological processes at the cellular level (i.e., wound healing, brain synapses or nervous system responses) by developing timely engineering applications , explains 4D-BIOMAP s lead researcher, Daniel García González from the UC3M s Department of Continuum Mechanics and Structural Analysis.
The so-called magneto-active polymers are revolutionising the fields of solid mechanics and materials science. These composites consist of a polymeric matrix (i.e., an elastomer) that contains magnetic particles (i.e., iron) that react mechanically by changing their shape and volume. The idea is that the application of an external magnetic field leads to internal forces in the material. These forces result in alterations of its mechanical properties, such as stiffness or even shape and volume changes which may interact with the cellular systems , explains Daniel García González.The researc
Five (inexpensive) things to do with Mom this Mother s Day
Staff Report
And proudly presenting a dandelion bouquet picked fresh from the front yard.
It also is a good day to venture outside and perhaps have a fun and affordable time with dear ol mom.
Here are five inexpensive places in the area to enjoy on Mother s Day:
Secrest Arboretum
For a place where mom can enjoy a variety of theme gardens and stroll paved walkways through forests and meadows, Secrest Arboretum in Wooster doesn t disappoint.
Secrest Arboretum is a 115-acre arboretum located on the campus of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) at the intersection of Pine Road and Green Drive in Wooster.
Kingwood Storybook Trail
Kingwood Center Gardens is featuring a new book on the Storybook Trail for the spring season. “The Thing About Spring,” written by Daniel Kirk, follows Bear, Bird and Mouse who have waited for spring to come. Their friend Rabbit loves winter and does not share their excitement about the changing of the seasons. Rabbit learns from his friends the many things there are to love about spring.
The Storybook Trail is open during garden hours, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and is located along the Nature Trail that begins at the Peacock Playhouse.
Senior Art and Design Exhibition
Every year the University of Georgia searches through a pool of incoming freshmen to find the next class of Foundation Fellows. These students rank the highest in areas of merit, leadership and intellectual pursuits.
This year two seniors from the local Clarke Central High School, Daniel GarcÃa-Pozo and Kurali Grantham, were chosen for this honor out of over 1,200 applicants. Typically, the university only chooses around 30 recipients out of its applicant pool.
Planning for the future
GarcÃa-Pozo, an intended education major, grew up in Athens and has always wanted to attend UGA.
âI ve wanted to go to UGA since I was a kid, but I never thought I d have the financial opportunities to do that,â GarcÃa-Pozo said. âBut Iâm really glad I got the opportunity to not only be able to go to UGA but to be a part of a program like Foundation Fellows.â
