Piezoelectric energy harvesting is the process of extracting electrical using harvester devices. Any stress in piezoelectric material will generate induced voltage. Previous device with stiff cantilever beam was generated low harvested energy. A flexural proposed to improve Polyvinylidene difluoride a polymer attached flexible circuit made polyimide. Four interdigitated electrode circuits were ...

Developing supernumerary limbs is a rare congenital condition that only a few cases have been documented. Depending on the cause and developmental conditions, they may be single, multiple or complicated, and occur as a syndrome or associated with other anomalies. Polymelia is defined as the presence of extra limb(s) which have been reported in human, mouse, chicken, calf and lamb. It seems that...

In this paper, the energy flux in a pile modelled as an elastic shell, is studied theoretically and experimentally. Based on analysis, new procedure proposed to quantify installation efficiency. This of importance for vibratory foundations offshore wind turbines it believed be first that relies directly propagating down rather than supplied by shaker. The approach tested piles installed two dis...

Voltage gated potassium channels open and inactivate in response to changes of the voltage across the membrane. After removal of the fast N-type inactivation, voltage gated Shaker K-channels (Shaker-IR) are still able to inactivate through a poorly understood closure of the ion conduction pore. This, usually slower, inactivation shares with binding of pore occluding peptide toxin two important ...

We measured unidirectional K+ in- and efflux through an inward rectifier K channel (IRK1) expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The ratio of these unidirectional fluxes differed significantly from expectations based on independent ion movement. In an extracellular solution with a K+ concentration of 25 mM, the data were described by a Ussing flux-ratio exponent, n', of approximately 2.2 and was constan...
