Using a newly developed extracellular vibrating electrode, we have made the first study of the spatial distribution of the growth currents around a single developing egg. This pattern was studied during the current pulses wihic traverse two-celled Pelvetia embryos. These pulses can be stimulated to occur with a periodicity of 70 min by mild acidification of the dea water medium. Current enters ...

In Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) measurement sinusoidal currents are applied on a surface of the human body and voltage response is measured in order to reconstruct conductivity distribution in a body cross-section. We have constructed an experimental system for EIT measurement based on voltage response to short current pulses. In this case resistive components of body impedance are mea...

These experiments were designed to give the dynamic electrolysis conditions of fluidized beds by the use of small palladium particles. Both direct current electrolysis and pulse power electrolysis methods were used in this study. The excess power observed was 90 mW for direct current electrolysis in D2O + 0.1 M LiOD (I=0.300 to 0.400 A). For pulse electrolysis (pulse width 1.0 μs, pulse frequen...

Wire electric discharge machine (WEDM) is spark erosion in unconventional machining technique to cut hard and the conductive material with a wire as an electrode. The blanking die material SKD 11 is a high carbon and high chromium tool steel with high hardness and high wearing resistance property. This tool steel has broad application in press tools and dies making industries. In this research ...

Introduction: High-performance RF coils and shielded Gradient coils [1] for high or ultra high field MRI often require the use of RF shields that are in close proximity to the imaged volume. These shields can sometimes generate Eddy-Currents that are not adequately compensated for using the pre-emphasis algorithm [2] of the scanner. K-space trajectory measurements [3] can be used to compensate ...

Neural oscillations can enhance feature recognition [1], modulate interactions between neurons [2], and improve learning and memory [3]. Simulational studies have shown that coherent oscillations give rise to windows in time during which information transfer can be enhanced in neuronal networks [4–6]. Unanswered questions are: 1) What is the transfer mechanism? And 2) how well can a transfer be...

Abstract – The current source converter represents the dual counter part to the better known and more frequently used voltage source converter. As such due to duality rules many offthe-shelf solutions concerning the VSC can be used in a modified manner to handle the CSC. This work gives a comprehensive overview of CSC PWM methods and shows how they are to be distinguished. Then based on duality...

arterial pulse measurement is one of the most important methods for evaluation of healthy conditions. in traditional iranian medicine (tim), physician may detect radial pulse by holding four fingers on the patient’s wrist. by using this method, under standard condition, the detected pulses are subjective and erroneous, in case of weak and/or abnormal pulses, the ambiguity of diagnosis may rise....

pulsed current plasma arc welding (pcpaw) is one of the most widely used welding processes in sheet metal manufacturing industry. in any fusion arc welding process, the weld bead geometry plays an important role in determining the mechanical properties of the weld and hence quality of the weld.  moreover, the geometry of weld bead involves several simultaneously multiple quality characteristics...
