The primary goal of the pilot is to determine whether a 3-D current model that can supply forecasts, nowcasts, and hindcasts of currents and hydrography with sufficient accuracy to be useful to a sizeable constituency around the Gulf of Mexico. Secondary goals include better identifying and meeting the needs of the various beneficiaries of such a model, increasing our understanding of Gulf of M...

This paper presents an overview of existing and emerging technologies on electron sources that can service various energy recovering linacs under consideration. Photocathodes that can deliver average currents from 1mA to 1A, the pros and cons associated with these cathodes are addressed. Status of emerging technologies such as secondary emitters, cesiated dispenser cathodes, field and photon as...

− Methods enabling a determination of errors εI and δI for a high transformation ratio difference between a standard and tested instrument current transformers (ICT) are described in this article. A widespread method uses an automatic transformer test set for the measurement of a difference between a standard and tested ICT. A method transforming secondary currents to voltages and an indirect m...

The average bed and sidewall shear stresses in smooth rectangular open-channel flows are determined after solving the continuity and momentum equations. The analysis shows that the shear stresses are function of three components: (1) gravitational; (2) secondary flows; and (3) interfacial shear stress. An analytical solution in terms of series expansion is obtained for the case of constant eddy...

Mechanisms for the Ca2+-dependent gating of single large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels from cultured rat skeletal muscle were developed using two-dimensional analysis of single-channel currents recorded with the patch clamp technique. To extract and display the essential kinetic information, the kinetic structure, from the single channel currents, adjacent open and closed intervals wer...

Grounding provides safety and in some cases a return circuit for load currents and also an uniform distribution of the voltage on the surface of the earth at power plants. If grounding conductors are damaged, it may cause unintended protective relay operation causing feeders to be tripped. It can also result in failure of the grounding device itself, secondary circuits’ cables and structural el...

Abstract—In this paper, the equivalent circuit of the ideal singlephase power transformer with its appropriate voltage current measurement was presented. The calculated values of the voltages and currents of the different connections single phase normal transformer and the results of the simulation process are compared. As it can be seen, the calculated results are the same as the simulated res...

Tumor-necrosis-factor-a (TNF-a) prevented secondary death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) after axotomy of the optic nerve in vivo. This RGC rescue was confirmed in vitro in a mixed retinal culture model. In accordance with our previous findings, TNF-a decreased outward potassium currents in RGCs. Antagonism of the TNF-a-induced decrease in outward potassium currents with the potassium channel...

Introduction: In the present work, spontaneous postsynaptic currents were assessed to investigate the postnatal development of excitatory postsynaptic currents in locus coeruleus neurons. Methods: In this study, AMPA and NMDA receptor-mediated spontaneous synaptic currents in the neurons of locus coeruleus were assessed using whole cell voltage-clamp recording during the first three weeks. ...
