In this paper, we study the thermal response functions for two one-dimensional models, namely, the Hubbard and spinless fermion t-V model, respectively. By exactly diagonalizing finite sized systems, we calculate dynamical, electrical, thermoelectrical, and thermal conductivities via the Kubo formalism J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 12, 57

A level set based shape and topology optimization approach to electrical impedance tomography (EIT) problems with piecewise constant conductivities is introduced. The proposed solution algorithm is initialized by using topological sensitivity analysis. Then it relies on the notion of shape derivatives to update the shape of the domains where the conductivity takes its different values.

Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a recently developed imaging technique that combines MRI and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). In MREIT, cross-sectional electrical conductivity images are reconstructed from the internal magnetic field density data produced inside an electrically conducting subject when an electrical current is injected into the subject. In thi...

A comprehensive model has been developed for calculating electrical conductivities of aqueous or mixed-solvent electrolyte systems ranging from dilute solutions to fused salts. The model consists of a correlation for calculating ionic conductivities at infinite dilution as a function of solvent composition and a method for predicting the effect of finite electrolyte concentration. The effect of...

Submicron fibers of polyaniline (PAni) doped with (+)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (HCSA) and blended with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or poly(ethylene oxide) were electrospun over a range of compositions. Continuous, pure PAni fibers doped with HCSA were also produced by co-axial electrospinning and subsequent removal of the PMMA shell polymer. The electrical conductivities of both the fibers...

Unique macrostructures known as spun carbon-nanotube fibers (CNT yarns) can be manufactured from vertically aligned forests of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). These yarns behave as semiconductors with room-temperature conductivities of about 5 x 10(2) S cm(-1). Their potential use as, for example, microelectrodes in medical implants, wires in microelectronics, or lightweight conductors i...

Root and crown rot (gummosis) is known as the most destructive disease affecting pistachio in Iran. The efficiency of bacterial strains to reduce the growth rate of Phytophthora pistaciae was studied under different electrical conductivities (EC, 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 ds/m). Soil and rhizosphere samples were collected from pistachio growing regions in Kerman province, Iran, during 2011 - 2012. Overall...

We describe a scalable method for producing continuous graphene networks by tape casting surfactant-stabilized aqueous suspensions of functionalized graphene sheets. Similar to all other highly connected graphene-containing networks, the degree of overlap between the sheets controls the tapes' electrical and mechanical properties. However, unlike other graphene-containing networks, the specific...
