“We then have to sacrifice our precious sleep,” he sighs, “and work to earn money to pay those costs.” Sasaki blends jargon (rational thought is a “cool system,” emotion a hot one) with a few observations from science, as when he notes that remaking habitual behavior is largely unconscious activity: We do what we do in order to receive the psychic reward of dopamine. “I didn’t decide to quit drinking because I understood the disadvantages of drinking,” he writes, “it was because I had personally accumulated a lot of experiences of regret.” One of those regrets, it seems, is one that the author, who is unmarried and lives alone in a tiny apartment, does not share-namely, the daily grind of paying for a child’s education or a car bought on installments, which he considers an exercise in poor prioritization. Much of the reform he urges in this book about forming better habits involves just that, though it’s rarely much fun.

“I think this is going to be the last ‘self-help’ book for me,” writes Sasaki, who, some 270 winding pages later, announces that his next book is tentatively titled Quit Alcohol in a Fun Way. A minimalist guru delivers a tepid discussion of remaking one’s rotten behavior. For different microcavity morphologies, the microcapillaries, microbottles and microbubbles have attracted attentions due to their natural optofluidic channels, which was always combined with the microfluidic technology for analyte delivery. We summarize the methods for fabricating and packaging the microbu The optical WGM microcavities studied thus far include microrings, microtoroids, microdisks, microcylinders, microcapillaries, microspheres, microbottles and microbubbles, as shown in Figure 2.

The favo optical characteristics of the microbubble resonators, such as their high Q-factor and s mode volume, have made them a focus of research in the studying of various sensor In this paper, we systematically review and summarize the information optofluidic microbubble resonators, including their optical characteristics and sen mechanisms, the fabrication and packaging methods and various sensing applicat Firstly, different sensing mechanisms of the microbubble resonators are introduce Section 2. In the same year, they demonstrated that the tunable bandwidth of a silica microbubble resonator approximately two times of its azimuthal free spectral range (FSR).
