2.1 Hydrophilic Ions in the Case of ξ > λD The first direct measurements of the critical Casimir force were carried out by the group of Bechinger, using the TIRM technique [24–26]. In the experiments, the interaction between a hydrophilic or a hydrophobic substrate and a hydrophilic or ...
Such a solvent-mediated interaction between chain sections is called hydrodynamic interaction (HI). These interactions render the underlying dynamics nonlinear and play a very important role in many polymeric systems. For example, they give rise to a scaling of the chain diffusion coefficient DN∝ 1...
Severing enzymes and molecular motors extract tubulin from the walls of microtubules by exerting mechanical force on subunits buried in the lattice. However, how much force is needed to remove tubulin from microtubules is not known, nor is the pathway by
Schistosoma mansoni, an intravascular parasitic worm and the causative agent of schistosomiasis, relies on its tegument (outer layer) for survival and host interaction. This study explored the morphology and mechanical properties of S. mansoni tegument using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Notably, we...
To switch an engine output between a low load time and a high load time so as to suppress a power loss by detecting a load applied on a work machine driven by an engine and changing an engine ignition time so as to increase its output more than the application of a low load when a...
Two springs (6, 7) force the weights apart and exert contact pressure on a friction pad (4) rigidly fixed to a central sleeve attached to the input shaft of the pump. The line of action of the one spring (6) lies just within the line between the pivot centres. In operation the ...
To develop a wrist robotic exoskeleton-type interface (REI) for force interaction, it should have a suitable range of motion similar to human wrist activities of daily living, large torque output performance, and low moving parts inertia for dynamic motion response to cover the human behavior freq...
Undoubtedly, these studies provide innovative tools and theoretical foundations for the polishing of complex curved parts. Moreover, the mutual and pivotal concept in these studies is keeping the uniformity of the removal effect by maintaining a constant interaction between the polishing tool and the ...
The mouse interface device includes a mouse object and a linkage coupled to the mouse that includes a plurality of members rotatably coupled to each other in a planar closed-loop linkage, two of the members coupled to ground and rotatable about the same axis. Two actuators, preferably ...
