We establish a lipid monolayer supported by a polymer interface that offers advantages over conventional solid-supported membranes for determining the frictional drag at the membrane-protein interface as well as for electric field manipulation of membrane-anchored proteins. Polymer-supported monolayers with functional lipid anchors allow for the specific docking of His-tagged green fluorescent ...

Electrokinetic is an effective method for the extraction of contaminants from low-permeable soils. This work examines influence Ca+2 ions on electroosmotic flow and effect electric potential, current, pH variations removal Pb2+, Na+, Cl? artificially contaminated soil during vertical electrokinetic experiments. The DC field 1 Vcm?1 was applied across specimen via steel mesh electrodes 24, 48, 7...

On-chip immuno-sensors are a hot topic in the microfluidic community, which is usually limited by slow diffusion-dominated transport of analytes in confined microchannels. Specifically, the antigen-antibody binding reaction at a functionalized area cannot be provided with enough antigen source near the reaction surface, since a small diffusion flux cannot match with the quick rate of surface re...

Emerging bio-microfluidic systems are embracing electroosmosis mechanisms to supervise ionised physiological fluids. Impelled by the exploration of electro-micro-pumping in bio-engineering domains, present inquisition, a research policy associated with hemodynamical deportment blood circulation under suspension gold and alumina nanoparticles diverging fatty artery subject electro-osmotic drivin...

Abstract The process of lubricant penetration into frictional interfaces has not been fully established, hence compromising their tribological performance. In this study, the characteristics deionized water (DI water) containing an electroosmotic suppressant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) and promoter (sodium lauriminodipropionate (SLI)), were investigated using steel-on-steel friction...

The long-term maintenance of stable redox-flow-battery performance requires a strategy to manage dynamic volume imbalances between electrolyte reservoirs. Even with ion-selective membranes as separators, bulk liquid exchange can occur within the reactor because pressure differences across its positive and negative chambers. Disproportionation chemistries, wherein both reservoirs have identical ...

This paper explains the procedure and results of electro osmosis treatment of a dispersive soil. A number of cylindrical specimens of a dispersive soil were subjected to the electro osmosis effect and the subsequent cation changes in the soil, inlet water and outlet water were measured. The tests were carried out using distilled water and lime extract in anode. It was observed that with distill...

The transport of molecules through nanoscale confined space is relevant in biology, biosensing, and industrial filtration. Microscopically modeling nanopores required for a fundamental understanding guiding engineering, but the short duration low replica number existing simulation approaches limit statistically insight. Here we explore protein with high-throughput computational method that real...
