Orphan date November 2006 Social osmosis is the indirect infusion of social cultural knowledge. Effectively, social content is diffused, and by happenstance authentic experience is displaced by degrees of mediated separation before a subject acquires knowledge of a social phenomenon. Furthermore, an example of social osmosis would be knowing a show exists that you have never seen, and yet possessing detailed information concerning aspects of the show without actively acquiring this knowledge, such as the main character s stage name and the actor actress who plays him her.

Refimprove date December 2007 Osmosis also known as Treasure Trove is a solitaire game played with a deck of 52 playing cards where the object, like many solitaire games, is to put the cards into foundations, although not in numerical order. Image Osmosis.jpg center A game of Osmosis left The layout at the start of the game, right a game at progress. Game play consists of four, vertically arranged reserve piles of four cards each one face up card on top of three face down cards . A seventeenth card is put in the first top of four foundations, which are also arranged vertically to the right of the reserve piles. Cards with the same suit as this card must be moved to this foundation. The other three foundations are also built by suit, but must begin with cards of the same rank as the first card of the top foundation the 17th card previously mentioned . Foundation piles are fanned from left to right. All undealt cards make up the stock. To begin, the top cards in each reserve pile are the only cards in play and must be moved to the foundations if possible. A card can be moved to a foundation if a card of the same value has already been placed in the foundation above it. Once all possible cards have been placed in the foundations, the next face down cards remaining in the reserve piles are turned face up. When placing cards from the reserve piles is no longer possible, one can use the stock, deal three cards at a time, and use its top card to make possible moves.

A reverse osmosis plant is a factory manufacturing plant where the process of reverse osmosis takes place. An average modern reverse osmosis plant needs six kilowatt hours of electricity to desalinate one cubic metre of water. http www.global greenhouse warming.com desalination.html The process also results in an amount of salty briny waste.

Diffusiophoresis is a spontaneous motion of dispersed particle s in a fluid induced by a diffusion gradient also called concentration gradient of molecular substances that are dissolved in the fluid.

nofootnotes date June 2008 Crenation is the contraction of a cell after exposure to a Tonicity Hypertonicity hypertonic solution , due to the loss of water through osmosis . The word is from the Latin crenatus meaning scalloped or notched, and is named for the scalloped edged shape the cells take on when crenated. Crenation occurs because in a hypertonic environment, that is, the cell has a lower concentration of solutes and, therefore, higher water potential than the surrounding extracellular fluid , osmosis the diffusion of water causes a net movement of water out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to decrease in its volume. As a result the cell shrinks and forms abnormal notchings around its edges. The effects of crenation are especially visible in red blood cells , or erythrocytes, as they become distorted in shape rather than maintaining the usual disc like shape with the dimple that the blood cell normally has. Instead, the red blood cell looks as if it has legs extending from a smaller central area, like a spiked ball. Plasmolysis is the term which describes plant cells when the cytoplasm shrinks from the cell wall in a hypertonic environment. In plasmolysis, the cell wall stays intact, but the plasma membrane shrinks and the chloroplasts of the plant cell concentrate in the center of the cell. In an Tonicity Isotonicity isotonic solution , the concentration of the solute in the solution outside of the cell equals the concentration of the solute inside of the cell so there is no net change in the concentrations of either solution.

Microelectrophoresis is a method of studying electrophoresis of various dispersed particles using optical microscopy . This method provides image of moving particles, which is its unique advantage. e.g. observation of RBCs, neutrophiles and bacteria. This type of electrophoresis is carried out in a closed medium with critical observations by focusing and adjusting the lens of microscope. Complexity of this method is associated with electro osmosis generated by electric field influence on the double layers of the sample cell walls. In the usually used closed cells this creates Poiseuille type back flow, leading to Parabola parabolic velocity profile. There are two stationary layers, where fluid does not move. Position of these stationary layer regarding cell walls depends on the cell geometry . It is possible to Focus optics focus microscope on this stationary layers and observe particles motion not affected with electro osmosis. The second complexity comes from necessity of diluting sample, if it was initially concentrated. Concentration must be sufficiently low for observing individual particles. Measurement in the low Chemical polarity polar fluids present additional problems. These systems have low electrical conductivity and low dielectric permittivity . Electrophoretic mobility is low and this requires high electric field, by factor 10 and higher. Details of this method are presented in IUPAC Technical Report ref Measurement and Interpretation of Electrokinetic Phenomena , International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Technical Report, published in Pure Appl.Chem., vol 77, 10, pp.1753 1805, 2005 ref prepared by a group of most known world experts on the electrokinetic phenomena .
