Dissociated dorsal root ganglion neuron growth cones and somata from neonatal rats were voltage and current clamped with the use of the perforated-patch whole cell configuration to study the occurrence and properties of slow hyperpolarization-activated currents (Ih) at both regions. Under voltage-clamp conditions Ih, blockable by 2 mM extracellular CsCl, was present in 33% of the growth cones t...

1 Parviz L. Sadigh, MB ChB Jaime E. P. Suarez, MD Seng-Feng Jeng, MD Department of Plastic Surgery E-Da Hospital Yan-Chao District Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Sir: I nature and especially within the specialty of plastic surgery, symmetry is king. Indeed, symmetry is what we strive for in many of our reconstructive pursuits. Not surprisingly, the majority of flaps we harvest also have symmetrical ski...

In this paper, we explore the questions of time, locality and causality in the framework of covariant open bosonic string field theory. We show that if an open string field is expressed as a certain local function on spacetime—in particular, a function of the lightcone component of the midpoint and the transverse center of mass degrees of freedom— that cubic string field theory is nonsingular a...

In this part, a FPGA based implementation of Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation (SHEPWM) as applied to a single-phase A.C. Chopper using Generalized Hopfield Neural Network (GHNN) is designed and implemented. The objective of this part is to eliminate 5 th , 7 th , 11 th and 13 th order harmonics in the output voltage waveform of the single-phase A.C. Chopper while retaining ...
