“…Here the limiting factor is the accuracy of numerical methods (such as the finite element method [22][23][24]) in the computation of fields in shelled particles with layers of very different thicknesses and electrical properties. Therefore, although this approach has been used extensively in the literature, it has been mostly applied to homogeneous spherical particles in slightly nonuniform electric fields [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], and to our knowledge, no work appears to assess the influence of higher order multipole contributions to forces and torques under typical experimental conditions for nonhomogeneous, multilayered particles.…”

We use the Maxwell stress tensor to calculate the dielectrophoretic force and electrorotational torque acting on a realistic four-shelled model of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a nonuniform rotating electric field generated by four coplanar square electrodes. The comparison of these results with numerical calculations of the dipolar and quadrupolar contributions obtained from an integral equation for the polarization charge density shows the effect of the quadrupole contribution in the proximity of the electrode plane. We also show that under typical experimental conditions the substitution of the multilayered cell by an equivalent cell with homogeneous permittivity underestimates the quadrupole contribution to the force and torque by 1 order of magnitude.

“…The experimental technology includes application of the neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, neurochemical, and behavioral techniques to the research questions concerning neural structures and functions, e.g., Emson (1983) and Robinson (1983). The next higher level includes, for instance, the models for neural membrane behavior (e.g., Chizmadzhev & Pastushenko, 1985), sensory system functions (e.g., Spitzer & Hochstein, 1985), and motor program generators (e.g., Arbib, 1980). If one inquires about theory in the neurosciences, it is usually this level to which attention is given.…”

The general designations of neural systems and their levels of organization as presently applied in the neurosciences are described as being at variance with rigorous systems thinking. It is proposed that the rule-driven use of systems terminology and hierarchies would facilitate investigations of neural functioning in the natural case. General systems theory with its major propositions for hierarchical organization, open systems, and equifinality, is presented as providing the guidelines for developing systems-type theories for neuroscience investigations. General systems theory as metatheory is also used to evaluate hierarchies and systems designations in the neurosciences as these concepts are now applied in theories, models, and research. The metatheory is comprised of three sets of rules: the criteria for hierarchies; the properties of the open biological system; the criteria for the final conditions of open biological systems. The notion of the discovery of neural systems is contrasted with the apparent design of systems as frequently practiced by neuroscientists. The metatheory is summarized as directions for developing theories and as questions directed toward any neuroscience theory proposing levels of organization and systems.
