This paper is used to investigate a novel decentralized pole placement design of lead-lag power system stabilizers using hybrid differential evolution (HDE). Since only local speed deviations are used as the feedback signals, the decentralized stabilizers could be easily implemented. It wants to place the electromechanical modes within a designated region to have enough damping. Participation f...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the immediate effects of muscle strength training and neuromuscular joint facilitation distal resistance training on wrist joints by using electromechanical reaction time. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 12 healthy young people (24.2 ± 3.1 years, 169.7 ± 6.5 cm, 65.3 ± 12.6 kg). Two kinds of isotonic contraction techniques were applied on ...

OBJECTIVE To report the first successful study to date of in vivo electromechanical reshaping of ear cartilage in a rabbit model. METHODS Ears of New Zealand white rabbits were reshaped using percutaneous needle electrode electromechanical reshaping (5 V for 4 minutes) and were then bolstered for 4 weeks. Ten ears were treated, with 2 undergoing sham procedures and serving as controls. The tr...

Electromechanical polymeric transducers have received significant attention recently for many emerging applications, including electromechanical actuators, sensors, electro-active coatings, and artificial muscles. Desirable physical properties for polymeric membranes in electromechanical transducers include high ionic conductivity, tunable modulus versus temperature behavior, efficient response...

Moderate alcohol intoxication in man, a ubiqitious social event, causes acute but reversible myocardial depression, the mechanism of which is unknown. We investigated whether this depression could be due to a direct effect of ethanol on the process of electromechanical coupling by simultaneously measuring the transmembrane action potential and contraction, or the cytosolic calcium transient (vi...

A wide range of direct pressure measuring electromechanical transducers is now commercially available in the market. In such electromechanical type direct indicating devices, the applied pressure is directly measured by a sensing element with a suitable mechanism into an analog / digital electrical signal in terms of voltage, current or frequency. The generation of such signals is based upon so...

This thesis reviews the developments in commercial aviation resulting from More Electric Aircraft initiatives. The present level of electromechanical actuation is considered with discussion of the factors affecting more widespread use. Two rather different electromechanical actuators are presented for commercial aircraft; DEAWS electrical flap actuation and ELGEAR nose wheel steering. Both proj...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the underlying mechanisms are still not clearly elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the atrial electromechanical function, atrial electrophysiological changes and AF inducibility in alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits. METHODS In 8 alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits and 8 controls, ...
