Cutaneous metabolism and active trans- port in transdermal drug delivery. In: Monteiro-Riviere N, editor. Toxicology of the Skin. Boca Raton, FL: Taylor & Francis Group LLC; 2010.Y. Dancik, C. Thompson, K. Krishnan, M.S. Roberts, Cutaneous metabolism and ac- tive transport in ...
This chapter discusses the role of pumps and exchangers in active transport. Movement of ions across cell membranes involves a change in the free energy that depends on the concentration of the ion on both sides of the membrane, the charge on the ion, and the membrane potential. At rest in...
Identify a similarity and difference between facilitated transport and active transport. Provide examples about the difference between active and passive transport across the plasma membrane in the human body. Describe the differences between osmosis and active transport. (a) Describe the structure of t...
In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that do not occur in equilibrium and that are robust against certain perturbations. In recent years, a fruitful method for...
In addition, it is a type of physical activity which benefits public health. Several health experts recommend at least 30 min of daily physical activities, and some research showed the benefits of daily walking (e.g., walking to public transport stations) for achieving this goal (Besser and...
All of these diverse phenomena can be explained with the concept of chiral active matter, where the internal stresses between the rotating units imply the emergence of anti-symmetric transport coefficients that are absent in usual non-chiral matter [53,54]. Moreover, these anti-symmetric contributi...
Here, frictional damping dominates viscous dissipation of the momentum and, therefore, the active forcing is balanced by the friction. Under these conditions, the nematic approaches the so-called ‘dry’ limit, where there is no long-range transport of momentum19,63. Although the continuum ...
The increasing demand for minimal to noninvasive in situ analysis of body fluids, such as sweat, interstitial fluid, and tears, has driven rapid development of electrochemically active materials and wearable biosensors. The mechanically soft and deformab
In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that do not occur in equilibrium and that are robust against certain perturbations.

Active school transport (AST) may increase the time that children spend in physical activity (PA). This study examined relationships between AST and weekday moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), sedentary time (SED) and total activity during naturally organiz...
