The experimentally measured mechanical efficiency of the F(1)-ATPase under viscous loading is nearly 100%, far higher than any other hydrolysis-driven molecular motor (Yasuda et al., 1998). Here we give a molecular explanation for this remarkable property.

This article addresses the effects of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions in peristaltic transport of Carreau fluid in a channel with wall properties. Mathematical modelling and analysis have been carried out in the presence of Hall current. The channel walls satisfy the more realistic convective conditions. The governing partial differential equations along with long wavelength and low Reynold...

Mathematical modeling of blood flows in the arteries is an important and challenging problem. This study investigates the pulsatile simulations of blood flow through two three-dimensional models of an arterial stenosis and an aneurysm. Four non-Newtonian blood models, namely the Power Law , Casson, Carreau and the Generalized Power Law, as well as the Newtonian model of blood viscosity, are use...

Biometric Authentication Protocols (BAPs) have increasingly been employed to guarantee reliable access control to places and services. However, it is well-known that biometric traits contain sensitive information of individuals and if compromised could lead to serious security and privacy breaches. Yasuda et al. [23] proposed a distributed privacy-preserving BAP which Abidin et al. [1] have sho...

We consider the nite element approximation of a non-Newtonian ow, where the viscosity obeys a general law including the Carreau or power law. For suuciently regular solutions we prove energy type error bounds for the velocity and pressure. These bounds improve on existing results in the literature. A key step in the analysis is to prove abstract error bounds initially in a quasi-norm, which nat...
