Current in vitro models for evaluating contact lenses (CLs) and other eye-related applications are severely limited. The presented ocular platform simulates physiological tear flow, tear volume, air exposure and mechanical wear. This system is highly versatile and can be applied to various in vitro analyses with CLs.

Contact Angle

When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces. The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive force...

Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a murine experimental model of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). CHS is based on sensitization with reactive hapten by painting the shaved skin of the chest and abdomen, with a subsequent ear skin challenge with a diluted hapten, causing a swelling reaction that is assessed in various ways.

Larval Contact Assay: A Procedure to Evaluate Mosquito Larval Mortality following Direct Contact with Test Larvicidal Compound
0 Views •
2025
In this video, we describe the larval contact assay to evaluate the toxicity of the dopamine receptor antagonist amitriptyline on the third instar stage larvae of mosquitoes, known vectors of several human infectious diseases. Assessing the larval mortality upon incubation with different amitriptyline concentrations over different time intervals helps determine its lethal concentration 50.

Direction and duration provide two core signals, but neither has a fixed meaning by itself. A person’s gaze may indicate engagement, regulate when someone speaks, or contribute to judgments about emotion, interest, and intention. Psychological interpretation therefore depends on the surrounding interaction, the relationship between people, and the cultural setting.
Eye contact supports interaction by coordinating attention and helping participants manage turn-taking. Looking toward another person can communicate engagement, while changes in gaze help organize the flow of conversation. This makes visual behavior part of the interaction itself, rather than merely an accompaniment to spoken language, and helps explain its relevance to communication research.
Eye contact cannot be interpreted using a single universal rule. Its social meaning changes with context, culture, relationship, and individual differences. Consequently, the same amount or pattern of looking may not communicate the same emotion, interest, or intention across people. Psychological accounts must therefore treat gaze as context-dependent rather than assuming one standard level is appropriate.
Researchers can study eye contact by examining gaze direction and duration alongside coordinated attention and social interpretation. This approach connects observable visual behavior with judgments about engagement, emotion, interest, and intention. It also allows investigators to relate visual attention to turn-taking and communication outcomes without treating any single gaze pattern as universally meaningful.
In psychology, eye contact provides a way to investigate how visual attention relates to social cognition and interpersonal behavior. It is especially relevant to research on anxiety and autism, where scientists can examine how gaze, attention, and social interpretation relate to communication. The topic therefore links observable interaction patterns with broader questions about social functioning.
Studies of eye contact can also address trust, rapport, and communication outcomes. By considering gaze together with relationship and context, researchers can ask whether visual attention contributes to a stronger perceived connection or affects how interaction is understood. This perspective avoids reducing communication quality to eye contact alone and emphasizes its role within a wider social exchange.
