two poly(oxyethylene) derivatives 1.10-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7,1-tetradecane (l1) and 1,7-bis(2'-benzoic acid)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane (l2) were used as suitable ionophores for the preparation of potassium-selective pvc-membrane electrodes. the resulting electrodes based on l1 and l2 exhibit linear responses to the activity of k+ ions within the concentration ranges of 3.1´10-5 -2.7´10-2 m and 2...

A pulsed arc heater was designed and manufactured at Centrospazio to equip a new hypersonic high-enthalpy blow-down wind tunnel capable of producing flows with a specific total enthalpy up to 2.5 MJ/kg. The heater mainly consists of two coaxial electrodes, separated by a constrictor, and a plenum chamber. The flow is heated by an electric arc ignited between the electrodes and sustained by the ...

We describe an experiment to gather original data on geometrical aspects of pointing. In particular, we are focusing upon the concept of the pointing cone, a geometrical model of a pointing’s extension. In our setting we employed methodological and technical procedures of a new type to integrate data from annotations as well as from tracker recordings. We combined exact information on position ...

the electrocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (mo) on pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes was studied by cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. the results reveal that pbo2-tio2 nanocomposite electrodes possess higher oxygen evolution overpotential than pbo2 electrodes and the electrocatalytic degradation of mo on the electrodes is direct oxidation process. the influence of experimental p...

This thesis presents the design, analysis, and experimental results of a circuit to be used as a position sensor for microfabricated electric motors. The circuit is designed to measure the capacitance between the rotor blades and sensor electrodes implanted into the substrate beneath the rotor. This capacitance typically varies between five and fifteen femtofarads as the rotor turns. Analytic a...

Semi-chronic motorized microdrive and control algorithm for autonomously isolating and maintaining optimal extracellular action potentials. J Neurophysiol 93: 570–579, 2005. First published June 30, 2004; doi: 10.1152/jn.00369.2004. A system was developed that can autonomously position ...

The electrical position of the heart with reference to the electrodes used in studying its field is unknown. For reasons presented. it is more likely eccentric; hence, the equation defining the field of an eccentric dipole in a spherical medium might be useful for projected experimental studies and for better understanding of the way in which a given electrical position determines the electrode...

A literature review of sheet metal forming errors as well as geometrical dimensions and tolerances (GD&T) shows that the theoretical means for the allocation of process tolerances with respect to GD&T are insufficient. In order to judge the influence of geometrical process errors (e.g., angular errors of bends), two typical sheet metal designs with parallelism and a position tolerance are studi...

sol-gel and polymeric membrane electrodes, based on thiacalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier, weresuccessfully developed for the detection of vo2+ in aqueous solutions. the sol-gel and pvcmembrane electrodes exhibited linear response with nernstian slopes of 29.3 and 28.4 mv perdecade, respectively, within the vanadyl ion concentration ranges from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1mol dm-3 and from 1.0 × 1...

We have studied the evolution of dipole-dipole all-plasmonic Fano resonances (FRs) in symmetric multilayered nanoshells as a function of their geometrical parameters. We demonstrate that symmetry breaking is not mandatory for controlling the Fano resonance in such multilayer structures. By carefully selecting the geometrical parameters, the position of the FR can be tuned between 600 and 950 nm...
