The concept of peace in the Tao Te Ching
Get PDFThis thesis represents a first attempt to analyze Lao Tzu's main method of resolving the social and political problems in Ch'un Ch'iu and Warring States Periods. Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, suggested many solutions that could bring an end to the conflicts and to the ending of the disunity of China. Examples of these include the reform or abolishment of some ancient Chinese institutions as well as new principles for the enhancement and preservation of life. All these ideas were to become crystallised in Tao Te Ch'ing, which became an important religious text. In particular, the aspect of Lao Tzu's methods for solving the social and political problems of China in the Warring States Period needs more attention. In each chapter of the Tao Te Ch'ing there was a main emphasis on peace as the main method of developing social cohesion and as a cure to all fundamental human problems. Therefore, Lao Tzu's ideas about peace and his methods of solving the problems of the Warring States period are significant and from the main focus of the thesis
THE CYCLIC WHOLENESS OF BING, TAO AND LAW IN SUN TZU’S THE ART OF WAR
Get PDFThe Art of War by Sun Tzu (Pingyin: Sunzi Bing Fa)is well-known as one of the oldest writings in Chinesehistory attributed to an individual author. It is the mostfamous treatise of the Military School (Bingjia), of TheHundred Schools of Thought of the Pre-Qin and Han period.However, the text is often misunderstood in the based uponthe misunderstanding of its terms. Readers and scholarsoften interpret the text in a pragmatic or utilitarian way,ignoring its philosophical Taoist subtexts. In the text, theterm translated as war – Bing – is related to two complicatedphilosophical terms and concepts: Tao (Dao) and Law (Fa).Therefore, for fully understanding Sun Tzu’s philosophicaltreatise on Bing, this paper will investigate, how changesof Tao (Dao) and Law (Fa) in relation to Bing occur in aholistic cycle. Bing, Tao and Law must be coordinated,otherwise any operation whether military or political willnot be in conformity with the Grand Tao, and will not beable to achieve its aims

Single cell microfluidic impedance cytometry – a review
No full textLab on chip technologies are being developed for multiplexed single cell assays. Impedance offers a simple non-invasive method for counting, identifying and monitoring cellular function. A number of different microfluidic devices for single cell impedance have been developed. These have potential applications ranging from simple cell counting and label-free identification of different cell types or detecting changes in cell morphology after invasion by parasites. Devices have also been developed that trap single cells and continuously record impedance data. This technology has applications in basic research, diagnostics or non-invasively probing cell function at the single-cell level. This review will describe the underlying principles of impedance analysis of particles. It then describes the state of the art in the field of microfluidic impedance flow cytometry. Finally future directions and challenges are discussed
Microfluidic impedance cytometry-measuring single cells at high speed
No full textHigh throughput single cell microfluidic analysis platforms offer the ability to characterize large numbers of individual cells (or more generally particles) at high speed. Miniature flow cytometers offer new methods for the rapid analysis of single cells. Impedance analysis of single cells provides information on cell size (volume), membrane and cytoplasmic characteristics. The technology has developed rapidly and offers the prospects of new approaches for counting and differentiating cells with applications from basic research to point of care diagnostics
AC electrokinetic particle manipulation in microsystems
No full textLab-on-Chip systems integrate multiple functionalities on a single platform. Automated or remote manipulation and analysis of particles and fluids is a key element in microfluidic devices. Microelectrodes can be integrated into these devices to generate large electric fields and field gradients using low voltages. Electrokinetics is an attractive method for integrating particle manipulation and separation within such systems. The electrokinetic forces are easy to control by designing optimum electrode structures and choice of field and frequency. In this chapter, the theory of AC electrokinetics is reviewed and example applications for manipulation of particles are provided. The use of dielectrophoresis (DEP) for manipulating micro particles is then described, together with a discussion on scaling issues
Single cell impedance spectroscopy
No full textCellular analysis requires a combination of biophysical and biochemical approaches for counting, manipulation and characterization of biological cells. In recent years, considerable attentions have been paid to single cell analysis based on Lab-On-a-Chip (LOC) technology, which offers the characterization of a large amount of cells one by one [1-3]. Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides a high speed, non-invasive and label-free technique for single cell analysis. We have fabricated microfluidic chips with integrated microelectrodes inside the microchannel to perform a differential impedance measurement, as shown in figure 1. Two pairs of parallel facing electrodes define a detection and reference volume. AC excitation voltages at mixed frequencies are applied to the microelectrodes, generating electric field in the channel. As a cell passes by, it modifies the current lines through each of the two detection volumes in turn. A positive and negative peak variation in the measured differential current signal can be observed. Due to differences in the dielectric properties and sizes of various cells, specific information can be obtained from a single cell membrane, cytoplasm or nucleus at distinct frequencies
