We have identified in organic solvent extracts of whole cells of the gram-positive pathogen Rhodococcus equi two channel-forming proteins with different and complementary properties. The isolated proteins were able to increase the specific conductance of artificial lipid bilayer membranes made from phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylserine mixtures by the formation of channels able to be permeated...

Electrochemical flow cells have found widespread use in analytical chemistry due to their short response time, high sensitivity and selectivity [1, 2]. The geometrical flexibility and therefore, the ease of coupling the electrochemical to other experimental techniques has attracted considerable interest for applications in electrocatalytic research as well. Such coupling is far more cumbersome ...

The article presents the results of a study lubricant flow in narrow wedge-shaped slot with movable wall. A solution to problem slip boundary conditions on channel walls is obtained. effect slippage change hydrostatic lift and hydraulic resistance slotted shown.
 It was determined work that an increase intensity (an value Knudsen number), pressure variation weakens. This due weakening inte...

In the present study, we investigate the effect of wall flexibility on the plug propagation and the resulting wall stresses in small airway models with experimental measurements and numerical simulations. Experimentally, a flexible microchannel was fabricated to mimic the flexible small airways using soft lithography. Liquid plugs were generated and propagated through the microchannels. The loc...

The convective heat transfer in the Micro/ Nanoscale channel is of significant importance engineering applications, and classical macroscopic theory invalid at depicting its physical processes mechanisms. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to investigate liquid argon flow through a nanoscale channel. results show that fully developed bulk temperature agrees with co...
