Background: To clarify the mechanism of sperm penetration through the zona pellucida, the flagellar force generated by a hyperactivated spermatozoon was evaluated using the resistive force theory applied to the hyperactivated flagellar waves that were obtained from the mammalian spermatozoa. Materials and Methods: The hydrodynamic calculation of the flagellar force of the activated (non-hyperac...

Abstract. A general theory of the Casimir-Polder interaction of single atoms with dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric bodies is presented, which is based on QED in linear, causal media. Both ground-state and excited atoms are considered. Whereas the Casimir-Polder force acting on a ground-state atom can conveniently be derived from a perturbative calculation of the atom-field coupling en...

The study of rotary steering drilling technology is currently one of the hot topics in the drilling engineering field. It requires accurate well trajectory control instructions when rotary steerable tools are applied to achieve the well trajectory control goal. A drilling trajectory prediction model will benefit this progress. According to the continuous beam theory, a mechanical model of push-...

In 1992, E.E.Podkletnov and R.Nieminen find that, under certain conditions, ceramic superconductor with composite structure has revealed weak shielding properties against gravitational force. In classical Newton’s theory of gravity and even in Einstein’s general theory of gravity, there are no grounds of gravitational shielding effects. But in quantum gauge theory of gravity, the gravitational ...

in this study, the problem of navigation in dynamic and unknown environment is investigated and a navigation method based on force field approach is suggested. it is assumed that the robot performs navigation in unknown environment and builds the map through slam procedure. since the moving objects' location and properties are unknown, they are identified and tracked by kalman filter. kalm...

In the present work, effect of von Karman geometric nonlinearity on the vibration characteristics of a Y-shaped single walled carbon nanotube (Y-SWCNT) conveying viscose fluid is investigated based on Euler Bernoulli beam (EBB) model. The Y-SWCNT is also subjected to a longitudinal magnetic field which produces Lorentz force in transverse direction. In order to consider the small scale effects,...
