The Surface Evolver has been used to minimise the surface area of various ordered structures for monodisperse foam. Additional features have enabled its application to fo...

2014 Using relations between the various energies of a wave and the variation theorem, the authors deduce equations from which the influence of parameters on the dispersion curve can be easily calculated. In the second part, the above results are applied to the axisymmetrical mode (surface wave) which is propagated along a plasma column. In particular, it is shown that the wave damping depends ...

Antigen 43 (Ag43), a self-recognizing outer membrane protein of Escherichia coli, has been converted into an efficient and versatile tool for surface display of foreign protein segments. Ag43 is an autotransporter protein characterized by the feature that all information required for transport to the outer membrane and secretion through the cell envelope is contained within the protein itself. ...

A locus encoding two repetitive proteins that have LPXTG cell wall anchoring signals from Lactobacillus fermentum BR11 has been identified by using an antiserum raised against whole L. fermentum BR11 cells. The first protein, Rlp, is similar to the Rib surface protein from Streptococcus agalactiae, while the other protein, Mlp, is similar to the mucus binding protein Mub from Lactobacillus reut...

In this paper we present a novel technique to calibrate multiple casually aligned projectors on fiducial-free piecewise smooth vertically extruded surfaces using a single camera. Such surfaces include cylindrical displays and CAVEs, common in immersive virtual reality systems. We impose two priors to the display surface. We assume the surface is a piecewise smooth vertically extruded surface fo...

M13 bacteriophage display presents polypeptides as fusions to phage coat proteins. Such phage-displayed ligands offer useful reagents for biosensors. Here, we report a modified phage propagation protocol for the consistent and robust display of two different genetically encoded ligands on the major coat protein, P8. The results demonstrate that the phage surface reaches a saturation point for m...

Flexible display devices allow users to interact with the device by deforming the surface of the display to trigger a command. When these devices become mainstream, for example as smart phones, e-readers, or tablets, they will require a means of authenticating legitimate users. In this poster, we present an authentication scheme for flexible display devices, its implementation on a flexible dis...

We present an electrostatic tactile display for stimulus localization. The 240-Hz electrostatic force was generated by the beat phenomenon in a region where excited X electrodes cross excited Y electrodes, which presents localized tactile sensation out of the entire surface. A 10.4in. visual-tactile integrated display was successfully demonstrated. key words: tactile display, electrostatic forc...

Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium of proven safety for use in human oral applications. For this purpose, surface display of recombinant proteins is important, and new approaches for it are being sought. Analysis of the bacterial surface proteome is essential in identifying new candidate carrier proteins for surface display. We have made two different predictions of surface-associate...
