The objective for this study was to investigate whether the postural control adaptation during galvanic stimulation of the vestibular nerve were similar to that found during vibration stimulation to the calf muscles. A method for adaptation analysis was used to analyze the evoked changes of posture, stimulus responses and the motion dynamics. The adaptive adjustments of postural control were si...

Magnesium is a type of reactive metal, and is susceptible to galvanic corrosion. In the present study, the impact of coexistence of Ti on the corrosion behavior of high purity Mg (HP Mg) was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Increased corrosion rate of HP Mg was demonstrated when Mg and Ti discs were not in contact. The in vivo experiments further confirmed accelerating corrosion of HP Mg...

BACKGROUND: Currently, numerous metal structures are used in dentistry, such as implants, pins, dentures, etc. These often made of various metals and alloys with different electrochemical potentials. This circumstance can lead to the appearance a galvanic cell, consisting structures. In existing literature, no data reveal frequency detection pairs mouth absence syndrome oral mucosal diseases.&#...

We investigated film thickness effects of sulfuric acid anodized aluminum when galvanically coupled with carbon fiber reinforced plastic（CFRP）. The CFRP was electrically to alloys 1050, 5052, 6061, and 7075 in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution at 35 ℃. Galvanic current passing from the 1050 6061 decreased as anodic oxide thickened. For galvanic between 5052 CFRP, elapsed time until corrosion density value...

The intra-body communication is an emerging wireless communication technology. It gives rise to slight wound without any infection, makes relevant devices positioned more easily and plays an important role in realtime monitoring of human body. According to coupling modes of electrodes, the intra-body communication is classified into two types, the capacitive and the galvanic coupling intra-body...

A feature-matching model to account for the effects of novelty and significance on psychophysiological responsivity is presented. 2 experiments based on a modified version of the Guilty Knowledge Technique were designed to test predictions derived from the proposed model. Results of Experiment 1 demonstrated that electrodermal responsivity to the test stimulus reflected the degree to which the ...

Siderite (FeCO3) and cementite (Fe3C) layers develop naturally on carbon steel surfaces in aqueous dioxide (CO2) environments. This study evaluates galvanic corrosion induced by such when coupled to bare steel. In CO2-saturated, 50 °C, pH 5 conditions, the Fe3C-filmed acted as net cathode, significantly enhancing rates. Galvanic currents FeCO3-filmed were much lower, with FeCO3 removed from sur...

BACKGROUND The weightlessness caused by prolonged bed rest results in changes in cerebral circulation and thus, brain functions, which is of interest. METHODS We investigated the effects of 45-day, -6° head-down bed rest, which stimulated microgravity, on working memory in 16 healthy male participants. The 2-back task was used to test the working memory variations on the 2nd day before bed re...
