The synthesis and crystallographic, thermodynamic, and transport properties of single crystalline Rh 9 In 4 S 4 were studied. The resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat measurements all clearly indicate bulk superconductivity with a critical temperature, T c ∼ 2.25 K. The Sommerfeld coefficient γ and the Debye temperature(Θ D) were found to be 34 mJ mol −1 K −2 and 217 K, respectively. T...

Inkjet-printed silver gate electrode with low electrical resistivity was fabricated by UV curing method. By adjusting the UV curing time and the distance between the samples and UV lamp, the effects of UV curing conditions on the electrical resistivity of the silver films were studied, and the lowest electrical resistivity of 6.69 × 10-8 Ω·m was obtained. Besides, the UV-cured silver films have...

The action of Ba(++) on membrane potential (E(m)) and resistance (R(m)) of frog (R. pipiens) sartorius fibers was studied. In normal Cl(-) Ringer's, Ba(++) (<9 mM) did not depolarize or induce contractions, but increased R(m) slightly above the control value of 3.8 +/- 0.6 K ohm-cm(2). In Cl(-)-free Ringer's (methane sulfonate) R(m) was 28.8 +/- 2.8 K ohm-cm(2), and low concentrations of Ba(++)...

Ordered Hypothesis Machines (OHM) are large margin classifiers that belong to the class of Generalized Stack Filters which were originally developed for non-linear signal processing. In previous work we showed how OHM classifiers are equivalent to a variation of Nearest Neighbor classifiers, with the advantage that training involves minimizing a loss function which includes a regularization par...

Determination of hydrological properties the aquifer is fundamental importance in hydrogeological and geotechnical studies. An attempt has been made to refine hydraulic conductivity values computed from pumping test by utilizing laboratory. This study uses laboratory rock samples, data conjunction with empirical equations, vertical electric sounding (VES) determine Lower Bari Doab (LBD) Indus B...

Discrete fluctuations in conductance of lipid bilayer membranes may be observed during the initial stages of membrane interaction with EIM ("excitability inducing material"), during destruction of the EIM conductance by proteolysis, and during the potential-dependent transitions between low and high conductance states in the "excitable" membranes. The discrete conductance steps observed during ...

Transmission of electrical signals in biological systems operates under constraints imposed by thematerials used to build the conducting pathways. The conduction medium in nerves is a membrane-enclosed dilute salt solution rather than a metal wire, for example, as in macroscopic physical systems. Axons have been compared for decades to undersea cables that are surrounded by saltwater.However, t...
