The bacterial flagellar motor of Escherichia coli is a nanoscale rotary engine essential for bacterial propulsion. Studies on the power output of single motors rely on the measurement of motor torque and rotation under external load. Here, we investigate the use of magnetic tweezers, which in principle allow the application and active control of a calibrated load torque, to study single flagell...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three methods in removal of resilon/new epiphany self-etch (se) soft resin endodontic obturation system. materials and methods: thirty extracted single rooted human teeth were prepared for endodontic treatment and obturated with resilon/epiphany se. the roots were randomly divided into three groups; group 1 roots were retre...

Compressor is the single largest consumer of primary energy (usually electricity) in an industrial refrigeration system and often become a focal point for energy efficiency improvement strategies. This is achieved either through the improvement of existing compressor designs, or by the introduction of new designs that is expected to overcome the drawbacks of existing compressors. This paper pre...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the smear layer formed on root canal walls during canal preparation of extracted human teeth by Twisted, Mtwo, and ProTaper rotary nickel titanium instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty single rooted human premolar teeth with root curvature <25(0) were selected and randomly divided into three Groups (n= 20 teeth per Group). Three types of...

INTRODUCTION Root fracture is not an instant phenomenon but a result of gradual development of tiny craze lines in tooth structure. Recent studies have shown that canal instrumentation has the potential to cause dentinal cracks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the formation of dentinal cracks caused by ProTaper rotary system to hand instrumentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS...

The performance of Watson & Ahumada's model of human visual motion sensing is compared against human psychophysical performance. The stimulus consists of random dots undergoing rotary motion, displayed in a circular annulus. The model matches psychophysical observer performance with respect to most parameters. It is able to replicate some key psychophysical findings such as invariance of observ...

This paper presents a time-varying sliding mode adaptive controller in order to handle the stick-slip oscillation of nonlinear rotary drilling system. The time-varying sliding mode controller with strong robust has two time-varying sliding surfaces, one of them induced time-varying integral sliding mode control can control the transient stage of the rotary drilling system and ensure the system ...

With nonlinearity, large lag and time-varying model parameters of cement rotary kiln, this paper proposed a burning zone temperature control system of cement rotary kiln based on CMAC neural network. By Dynamic adjustment of PID controller parameters with CMAC neural network, combined with rotary kiln temperature control mechanism, the temperature controller based on CMAC-PID was designed. Then...
