LUTZ, MICHAEL D., JEAN CARDINAL, AND MAURICE B, BURG. Electrical resishnce of renal proximal tubule perfused z’n vitro. Am. J. Physiol. 225(3) : 729-734. 1973 .-Two techniques to measure potential differences (PD) and electrical resistance in isolated renal proximal tubules of the rabbit are described. Cable analysis was used to calculate the transepithelial resistance (RT). The applicability o...

Improving the power handling capability of direct contact RF MEMS switches requires a knowledge of conditions at the contact. This paper models the temperature rise in a direct contact RF MEMS switch, including the effects of electrical and thermal contact resistance. The maximum temperature in the beam is found to depend strongly on the power dissipation at the contact, with almost no contribu...

Two series, each consisting of seven high-volume fly ash concrete mixtures with conductive carbon fibers, were used in this investigation. The first series of the concrete mixtures contained ASTM Class C fly ash and 0, 1, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, and 20 lbs. carbon fibers per cubic yard of concrete. The second series of concrete mixtures contained high-carbon fly ash in addition to the materials used in ...

Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECCs) are novel cement-based ultraductile materials which is crack resistant and undergoes strain hardening when loaded in tension. In particular, the material is piezoresistive with changes in electrical resistance correlated with mechanical strain. The unique electrical properties of ECC render them a smart material capable of measuring strain and the evolu...

Junctional resistance between coupled receptor cells in Necturus taste buds was estimated by modeling the results from single patch pipette voltage clamp studies on lingual slices. The membrane capacitance and input resistance of coupled taste receptor cells were measured to monitor electrical coupling and the results compared with those calculated by a simple model of electrically coupled tast...
