The dynamic clamp introduces artificial conductances into cells to simulate electrical coupling, votage-dependent, leak, and synaptic conductances. This review describes how the dynamic clamp has been used to address various questions in the cardiac, endocrine, and nervous systems.

This study presents a designing process for refurbishing of a 32 MW rotor-generator damaged coupling. The reason of rotor damage was being hit by the quivers of an explosion. The original coupling was union with the rotor formed after a machining process on a mono block forged rotor. In some areas imposed damages caused the breaking off and detachment of some parts in the coupling flange. Becau...

The vertebrate retina has a very high dynamic range. This is due to the concerted action of its diverse cell types. Ganglion cells, which are the output cells of the retina, have to preserve this high dynamic range to convey it to higher brain areas. Experimental evidence shows that the firing response of ganglion cells is strongly correlated with their total dendritic area and only weakly corr...

The onshore oil and natural gas industries of China have started a large-scale development when crude oil reserves have been difficult to recover. The stratum fracture modification is an indispensable measure to efficiently develop oil and gas fields. Hydraulic fracturing is the most important reservoir stimulation technique, but it is still faced with various problems such as the failure to fr...

Reusable launch vehicle (RLV) in the reentry process exhibit fast time-variation, strongly nonlinear and coupling characteristics, they all increase the complexity of attitude control system. After a vehicle’s mathematical model is built for the analysis of RLV movement and attitude control system design, then some operating points are selected from the trajectory and linearized. Several common...
