In this paper, a rectifying tower of a chemical plant is modeled using neural networks and human experts in charge of production control are modeled by fuzzy logic. The neural network models and fuzzy controllers are interconnected for automatic O2 production simulation. Standard multilayer perceptron architecture and backpropagation learning algorithm are used to model a rectifying tower. Real...

This paper presents a novel cylindrical shaped dual-band flexible rectenna capable of harvesting RF energy from number sources available in the entire azimuth plane. The proposed configuration is an array four identical subsystems, printed on lightweight substrate. Here, each subsystem comprises dual-ring monopole antenna and rectifying circuit. designed topology good for popular bands LTE 1.8 ...

The concept of wireless power transfer for powering a low-power electronic circuit is demonstrated in this brief using novel rectifying-antenna (rectenna). proposed rectenna consisted by wide-band antenna and modified rectifier. bandwidth has been optimized to cover both the f1 = 868 MHz f2 915 UHF-RFID bands. A dual-band Class-F harmonic structure employed maximize PCE at low levels radio freq...

We demonstrate current self-complianced and self-rectifying bipolar resistive switching in an Ag-electroded Na-doped ZnO nanowire device. The resistive switching is controlled by the formation and rupture of an Ag nanoisland chain on the surface along the Na-doped ZnO nanowire. Na-doping plays important roles in both the self-compliance and self-rectifying properties.

Infection of human erythrocytes with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum induces new permeability pathways (NPPs) in the host cell membrane. Isotopic flux measurements demonstrated that the NPP are permeable to a wide variety of molecules, thus allowing uptake of nutrients and release of waste products. Recent patch-clamp recordings demonstrated the infection-induced up-regulation of an ...

Heterologous expression of Kir channels offers a tool to modulate excitability of neurons which provide insight into Kir channel functions in general. Inwardly-rectifying K+ channels (Kir channels) are potential candidate proteins to hyperpolarize neuronal cell membranes. However, heterologous expression of inwardly-rectifying K+ channels has previously proven to be difficult. This was mainly d...

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the nature invariance rectifying curve under conformal transformation and obtain a sufficient condition for which such remains conformally invariant. It shown that normal component geodesic curvature homothetic

floorplanning is an important step in physical design of vlsi circuits. it is used to plan the positions of a set of circuit modules on a chip in order to optimize the circuit performance. however, modern floorplanning takes better care of providing extra options to place dedicated modules in the hierarchical designs to align circuit blocks one by one within certain bounding box for helping seq...
