BACKGROUND Non-linear dielectric spectroscopy (NLDS) of microorganism was characterized by the generation of harmonics in the polarization current when a microorganism suspension was exposed to a sinusoidal electric field. The biological nonlinear response initially described was not well verified by other authors and the results were susceptible to ambiguous interpretation. In this paper NLDS ...

INTRODUCTION Chromosomal changes are widespread in the vast majority of colon carcinomas and aneuploidy is an established prognostic factor. However, this knowledge so far has no influence on tumor classification. We reported a morphology-based classification scheme, the core classification, that correlates with DNA ploidy. In particular, tripolar mitoses were identified as surrogate markers of...

transcranial current stimulation (tcs) is a neuromodulation method in which the patient is exposed to a mild electric current (direct or alternating) at 1-2 ma, resulting in an increase or a decrease in the brain excitability. this modi.cation in neural activities can be used as a method for functional human brain mapping with causal inferences. this method might also facilitate the treatments ...

The properties of cyclic structures (toroidal oscillators) based on classical tripolar (colour) fields are discussed, in particular, those of a cyclic structure formed of three colour singlets spinning around a ring-closed axis. It is shown that the helicity and handedness of this structure can be related to the quantum properties of the electron. The symmetry of this structure corresponds to t...

Dislocation of a total hip replacement (THR) is common following total hip arthroplasty (THA). When nonoperative management fails to maintain reduction, revision surgery is considered. The use of constrained acetabular liners has been extensively described. Complete removal of the old cement mantle during revision THA can be challenging and is associated with significant complications. Cement-i...

background: based on classical two-cell, two-gonadotropin theory, in the follicle, follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh) put on their main effects on the granulosa and theca cells. lh is essential for androgens production. androgens are used for estradiol production by granulosa cells. profound suppression of lh concentrations in some normogonadotropic patients can cau...

A nerve cuff electrode interface capable of both stimulating and recording from a nerve is described. The interface also rejects the EMG contamination in the recordings using reactive components without adding noise to the ENG signal. A transformer is added to the design for noise matching and the signal-to-noise ratio improvement is evaluated for a specific amplifier INTRODUCTION Electroneurog...

We consider special rational triangular Bézier surfaces of degree 2 on the sphere in standard form and show that these surfaces are parameterized by chord lengths. More precisely, it is shown that the ratios of the three distances of a point to the patch vertices and the ratios of the distances of the parameter point to the three vertices of the (suitably chosen) domain triangle are identical. ...
