The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) rotates hundreds of times per second to propel bacteria driven by an electrochemical ion gradient. The motor consists of a rotor 50 nm in diameter surrounded by up to 11 ion-conducting stator units, which exchange between motors and a membrane-bound pool. Measurements of the torque–speed relationship guide the development of models of the motor mechanism. In contrast to previous reports that speed near zero torque is independent of the number of stator units, we observe multiple speeds that we attribute to different numbers of units near zero torque in both Na+- and H+-driven motors. We measure the full torque–speed relationship of one and two H+units inEscherichia coliby selecting the number of H+units and controlling the number of Na+units in hybrid motors. These experiments confirm that speed near zero torque in H+-driven motors increases with the stator number. We also measured 75 torque–speed curves for Na+-driven chimeric motors at different ion-motive force and stator number. Torque and speed were proportional to ion-motive force and number of stator units at all loads, allowing all 77 measured torque–speed curves to be collapsed onto a single curve by simple rescaling.

For a given linear system on a curve, the number of divisors of a certain type contained in this system is known as the formula of de Jonquières. In this paper, we give an algorithm for getting a general de Jonquières formula for a family of nodal curves. Using this algorithm we obtain one of such formulas for a particular case; on a single partition [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] for a one parameter family of nodal curves. Moreover we retrieve the classical de Jonquières’ formula for a single curve using the method developed in this paper.

1. In a previous note the author has examined the systems of tangent planes to a degenerate surface in S3 consisting of n planes, regarded as the limit of a general surface of the same order. It is well known that a pair of space curves which are the limiting form of a non-degenerate curve must have a certain number of intersections; hence, if a surface in higher space degenerates into a number of surfaces, these must intersect in curves of various orders. In the present paper we consider the nature of the envelope to a surface consisting of two general surfaces of S4 having in common a single curve of general character, the degenerate surface being regarded as the limit of some surface of general type. The same conclusions hold for a similar degenerate surface in Sr (r>4).

The elastic-plasticity of the titanium alloy material has certain effect on the stability of the milling system. When the material is incompressible, the curve and the simple tensile curve are the same, and the material’s curve and the one-way shear’s curve are also the same. This may be called single curve theory. This paper is, under simple loading conditions, gets the data in the titanium alloy’s tensile experiment and torsion experiment. It studies the constitutive relation in the state of the multidimensional stress and the strain, by the material data obtained in the simple tensile experiment and torsion experiment according to the single curve theory. In the simple loading condition, it obtains the data of the titanium alloy’s tensile experiment and torsion experiment, and then gets the titanium alloy’s incremental constitutive relation, and by integration, it gets the constitutive relation of the titanium alloy’s total strain theory.

We have quantitatively defined flexibility of polymers. Flexibility Y is not an inverse of the brittleness B, rather, the two equations are compared. The expression for flexibility includes the specific volume and the summation of the strengths of chemical bonds-a concept introduced by Linus Pauling. The flexibility is plotted as a function of dynamic friction, resulting in a representative single curve for polymers.
