BACKGROUND Electrochemotherapy and gene electrotransfer are novel promising treatments employing locally applied high electric pulses to introduce chemotherapeutic drugs into tumor cells or genes into target cells based on the cell membrane electroporation. The main focus of this paper was to calculate analytically and numerically local electric field distribution inside the treated tissue in t...

We investigate in this paper the non-uniform sampling of EEG dipolar potentials and its impact on source analysis. We suppose some a priori knowledge on the approximate location of the dipole. We show that, in a noise-free situation, the electrode spacing needs to be around 3cm in the region of the dipole only, whereas it can drop to 8cm in remote regions.

A tailored conversion-reaction anode material of 1-D MoS2 nanofibers with a vine-like shape composed of MoS2 nanoflakes delivers exceptionally high Na capacity and exhibits excellent rate properties. The improved cycleability of the MoS2 nanofiber electrode is achieved by a uniform TiO2 coating, which effectively minimized the sulfur dissolution.

Selective local N-doped TiO(2) electrodes were fabricated using a pulsed laser deposition method. Different from the uniform nitrogen-doping in TiO(2) electrodes showing the diminution of IPCE in the UV light region, the inner nitrogen-doped TiO(2) electrode uniquely enhanced IPCE in the UV light region significantly (up to 95% at 320 nm, 1.23 V vs. SHE).

An alternative approach to the rotating disk electrode (RDE) for characterising fuel cell electrocatalysts is presented. The approach combines high mass transport with a flat, uniform, and homogeneous catalyst deposition process, well suited for studying intrinsic catalyst properties at realistic operating conditions of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). Uniform catalyst layers were produc...

Most applications of thoracic EIT use a single plane of electrodes on the chest from which a transverse image 'slice' is calculated. However, interpretation of EIT images is made difficult by the large region above and below the electrode plane to which EIT is sensitive. Volumetric EIT images using two (or more) electrode planes should help compensate, but are little used currently. The Graz co...

The article is concerned with a new nonlocal model based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and generalized thermoelasticity. A study is made of the magneto-thermoelastic waves in an isotropic conducting thermoelastic finite rod subjected to moving heat sources permeated by a primary uniform magnetic field and rotating with a uniform angular velocity. The Laplace transform technique with respect ...

The arc phenomena occurring on interaction of shock-heated plasma with a magnetic field were studied in order to achieve an approximately uniform current distribution in a certain volume using a number of small electrodes. This is necessary for producing plane gasdynamical effects such as reflected shocks and one-dimensional flow behind them in order to compare experimental results with theory....

We have investigated motional heating of laser-cooled Be ions held in radio-frequency ~Paul! traps. We have measured heating rates in a variety of traps with different geometries, electrode materials, and characteristic sizes. The results show that heating is due to electric-field noise from the trap electrodes that exerts a stochastic fluctuating force on the ion. The scaling of the heating ra...

Coaxial (wire-cylinder) electrodes arrangements are widely used for electrostatic deposition of dust particles in flue gases, when a high voltage is applied to immersed air and provide strongly non-uniform electric field. The efficiency filters mainly depends on the value distribution In this work, two-dimensional computer simulation was constructed study effect different voltages (20, 22, 25, ...
