Abstract In the process of inflammation, the hydrodynamic process of circulating leukocyte recruitment to the inflammatory site requires the rolling adhesion of leukocytes in blood vessels mediated by selectin and integrin molecules. Although a number of experiments have demonstrated that cooperative effects exist between selectins and integrins in leukocyte rolling adhesion under shear flow, the mechanisms underlying how the mechanics of selectins and integrins synergistically may govern the dynamics of cell rolling is not yet fully resolved. Here we present a mechanical model on selectin- and integrin- jointly mediated rolling adhesion of leukocyte in shear flow, by considering two pairs' binding/unbinding events as Markov processes and describing kinetics of leukocyte by the approach of continuum mechanics. Through examining the dynamics of leukocyte rolling as a function of relative fraction of selectin and integrin pairs, we show that, during recruitment, the elongation of intermittent weak selectin bonds consuming the kinetic energy of rolling leukocyte decelerates the rolling speed and enables the integrin pairs to form strong bonds, therefore achieving the arrestment of leukocyte (firm adhesion). The coexistence of selectins and integrins may also be required for effective phase transition from firm adhesion to rolling adhesion, due to dynamic competition in pairs' formation and elongation. These results are verified by the relevant Monte Carlo simulations and related to reported experimental observations.

A system of 16 motor variables was used to determine thestructure of motor skills in a sample of 84 students at the Faculty of SecuritySciences in Banja Luka. By using factor analysis according to the Kaiser-Guttmanrule, 6 latent motor dimensions were determined. The first factor is defined asthe factor for the structuring movement mechanism, because it is presentedwith the variables used to assess coordination and movement frequency. Thesecond factor is defined as the factor for the mechanism for regulating excitationduration, because it is represented by the measures used to assess the repetitiveand static strength of arms, body, and legs. The third factor is defined as thefactor for the tone regulation and synergistic regulation mechanism, becauseit is represented by the variables used to assess the measures of flexibility. Thefourth factor is defined as the factor for the excitation intensity mechanism,because it is represented by the variable used to assess explosive power throughthe run speed capability. The fifth factor is also defined as the factor forsynergistic regulation and tonus regulation, because it is represented by thevariable used to assess balance, while the sixth factor is defined as the factor forexcitation intensity, because it is represented by three variables used to assessexplosive power and one variable used to assess flexibility. This paper is anattempt to demonstrate that the distinguished hierarchical structure of motorskills is of exceptional theoretical and practical value, whereby these factorsshould represent a determinant for predicting motor skills and programingoperator training in special physical education classes.

AbstractHydrophilic polymer coatings can improve the surface characteristics of artificial implants. However, because they are used in vivo, they inevitably come into contact with biomolecules that affect their interfacial tribological properties. In this paper, the friction behaviors of poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA)-modified Ti6Al4V and polytetrafluorethylene balls were analyzed using albumin, globulin, aggrecan, and hyaluronic acid as lubricants. The interaction properties and dynamic adsorption characteristics of the biomolecules and PVPA molecules were explored by a quartz crystal microbalance to identify the cause of the friction difference. It was found that protein molecules disturbed the superlubricity of the PVPA-phosphate-buffered saline system because of the formation of a stable adsorption film, which replaced the interfacial characteristics of the PVPA coating. Polysaccharides, with their excellent hydration properties and polymer structure, had an unstable dynamic interaction or zero adsorption with PVPA molecules, and hardly changed the superlubricity of the PVPA and phosphate-buffered-saline system. The influence mechanism of the specific friction of proteins and polysaccharides was analyzed. Interactions were observed among different biomolecules. Polysaccharides can potentially reduce protein adsorption. The result of the synergistic regulation of the friction coefficient for PVPA-modified Ti6Al4V is approximately 0.017. The results of this study will provide a theoretical basis for the use of polymer coatings in vivo.

A low friction coefficient and high bearing capacity can improve the service life of implants in the human body. In this study, we firstly investigate the mechanical properties of inorganic thermal oxide coatings on titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). Tribological experiments were performed for different tribo-pairs under uniform conditions. The inorganic thermal oxide coating on Ti6Al4V formed at 300℃ was found to have excellent tribological properties and can effectively improve the bearing capacity of Ti6Al4V. The organic poly (vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) on Ti6Al4V has excellent anti-friction properties, which can help achieve superlubricity. An inorganic thermal oxide/organic PVPA composite coating was fabricated on Ti6Al4V to obtain a surface with low friction and high bearing capacity. It is found that the presence of the thermal oxide doubled the bearing capacity of the composite coating compared to that of the PVPA coating alone. This study can serve as a guide for the modification of artificial joints.

An innovative approach to energy harvesting is to integrate the capture of fragmented energy with micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) to achieve the power self-sufficiency needed for the circuit to function as an autonomous system. This study used a micro-motor as a micro-generator for capturing not only fragmented energy, but also instantaneous energy. The experimental results confirm that energy can be captured from uncollected daily rotational mechanical energy with sufficiently high efficiency and low cost to replace the conventional battery power used in wireless sensors. Applications of this technology in green buildings can not only reduce the energy wasted by wiring, but can also improve internal aesthetics.
