Previous studies have shown that electrolytic lesions of the dorsal hippocampus render the instrumental performance of rats insensitive to selective degradation of the action-outcome contingency (Corbit and Balleine, 2000). In the present experiments, we sought to replicate this finding and to examine the effects of excitotoxic lesions. In the first three experiments, rats with either electroly...

The development of methods and apparatus for magnetic measurements capable of an accuracy of i per cent makes it necessary to consider factors which have heretofore been considered negligible. One of these factors, the temperature coefficient of magnetic permeability, is the subject of the present paper. Many workers have studied the effects of temperature on the magnetic permeability of iron a...

National Office of Measures, Budapest, Hungaiy A new method for the absolute determination of electrolytic Conductivity based on direct current and potcntiomctrlc measurements is described. The unique design of the cell uses a removable center section whose length and crosS'Seciional area arc accurately known. Two pairs of matched Ag, AgCI electrodes are used in a four terminal mode of resistan...

In the search for greener treatment technologies, this work studies the coupling of a wind turbine energy supply with an electrolytic cell (CWTEC device) for the remediation of wastewater polluted with pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The discontinuous and unforeseeable supply of energy is the main challenge inspiring this new proposal, which aims at reducing the environmental ...

The motor integration of singe-phase-supplied Variable-Speed Drives (VSDs) is prevented by the significant volume, short lifetime, and operating temperature limit electrolytic capacitors required to buffer pulsating power grid. DC-link energy storage requirement eliminated using kinetic as a buffer. proposed concept called Motor-Integrated Power Pulsation Buffer (MPPB), control technique struct...

The problems of blending electrolyzer and multi-constraint optimization of electrolytic aluminum scheduling in the electrolytic aluminum production process were addressed. Based on a mathematical model analysis, a novel hybrid optimization algorithm is proposed for optimization of blending together the molten aluminum in different electrolytic cells. An affinity degree function was designed to ...

This paper presents an ant colony approach optimization to shunt capacitor placement on distribution systems under capacitor switching constraints. The optimum capacitor allocation solution is found for the system of feeders fed through their transformer and not for any individual feeder. The main advantages due to capacitor installation, such as system capacity release and reduction of overall...
