Flagella can be used to make magnetically-controlled microfluidic and nanoscale devices for biomedical applications in both vitro and vivo environments. They are capable of operating with high precision on the cellular and subcellular level. So far, scientists and engineers have successfully used monolithic inorganic materials or photoactive polymers [1] to mimic the helical bacterial flagella whose rotary-propulsion mechanism effectively overcomes the dominant viscous forces that prevail in a low Reynolds-number environment. Here, we focus on bacterial flagella and their rotary motion. The bacterial flagellum is an ideal biomaterial for constructing self-propelling nanoswimmers because it can reversibly change its geometry in response to different environmental stimuli such as pH, the local concentration of certain organic solvents, and mechanical force on the flagella. The bacterial flagellum is very easy to manipulate because it is composed of flagellin which can be mechanically isolated through vortexing and centrifugation, which enables flagella to be used as nanoscale sensors and mechanical transducers. Our project focuses on fabricating a bacterial flagella forest which consists of an ordered array of flagella on a glass substrate. Flagella are attached to magnetic nanobeads via biotin-avidin bonding for actuation by oscillating magnetic field.
The effect of multimedia conference system is the main factor influencing people's communication.In this article, we will try our best to enhance the quality of video effect and improve the efficiency of multimedia transmission. Through using high compression video codec (H.264), cutting the data at the sending part, catching and sorting the data at the receiving part, we can minimize the data of video, reduce the loss rate through network and improve the decoding rate at the receiving part. By using those methods, the software can acquire better real time and higher quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
