This paper reports on methods for the analysis of electrical machines by combined electromagnetic and thermal models using commercial software which can be an aid to the design of these machines. Examples using a brushless permanent-magnet motor and an induction motor illustrate the tools available and techniques possible.

A discussion of factors considered influential in making a polynucleotide an efficient inducer of interferon was presented. These factors were double-strandedness of the polynucleotides, the sugar moiety of the polynucleotides, thermal stability, resistance to enzymatic degradation, and molecular size of the polynucloetides. Recent developments concerning interferon induction during virus infec...

A rapid hot press system in which the heat is supplied by RF induction to rapidly consolidate thermoelectric materials is described. Use of RF induction heating enables rapid heating and consolidation of powdered materials over a wide temperature range. Such rapid consolidation in nanomaterials is typically performed by spark plasma sintering (SPS) which can be much more expensive. Details of t...

Additional losses of asynchronous induction machines utilized in traction drives caused by the inverter have a great impact of the thermal behaviour of such machines. Therefore, an accurate modelling and evaluation of these additional losses is a very important task in particular with the initial design. Based on detailed measurement data from already built machines, a fast and reliable calcula...

In this study, we examined the antinociceptive effect of Cyperi rhizoma (CR) and Corydalis tuber (CT) extracts using a chronic constriction injury-induced neuropathic pain rat model. After the ligation of sciatic nerve, neuropathic pain behavior such as mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were rapidly induced and maintained for 1 month. Repeated treatment of CR or CT (per oral, 10 or ...

We show that the htpG gene of Bacillus subtilis is induced by heat, as has been reported for the Escherichia coli homolog. Analysis of different mutants revealed that the htpG gene belongs to class III heat shock genes in B. subtilis. An about 10-fold induction after thermal upshock was found at the levels of both transcription and translation, and this induction resulted from enhanced synthesi...

Pain is associated with negative affect such as anxiety and depression. The amygdala plays a key role in emotionality and has been shown to undergo neuroplastic changes in models of affective disorders. Many neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) are driven by nociceptive inputs, but the role of the amygdala in persistent pain states is not known. This study is the first to addres...

Induction motors have gained a renewed interest due to this new shift from conventional power sources electric power. These are known for their high commencing torque, adequate speed control and reasonable overload capacity. However, induction an innate thermal issue wherein lifespan performance strongly temperature dependent. Hence, it is highly essential focus on the management aspect of thes...
