background and objective: oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogensis of various diseases, including lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atherosclerosis. total antioxidant capacity plays a significant role in the body’s antioxidant defense, so its assessment is a matter of the utmost importance. currently, assessment of this capacity is performed in various s...

Nanostructured manganese cobalt oxide spinel (MnCo2O4) are prepared by co-precipitation method and calcined at 650 and 750°C. Morphological studies show that by increasing the calcination temperature from 650 to 750°C, morphology of the particles changes from quasi-plate to polyhedral. The MnCo2O4 calcined at 650°C could deliver an initial discharge capacity of 1438 mAh g-1 under current densit...

Background and Objective: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogensis of various diseases, including lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atherosclerosis. Total antioxidant capacity plays a significant role in the body’s antioxidant defense, so its assessment is a matter of the utmost importance.

The progressive application of non-linear loads in distribution systems (DS) increases current harmonics flow in DS's apparatuses, especially distribution transformers (DTs). Since DTs' operating temperature rises due to the harmonics flow, their loading should be reduced such that the hot spot temperature (HST) is preserved under its permissible value. This means that DTs' available capacity i...

Today, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most common rechargeable batteries used in electronic devices. SnO2 with theoretical specific capacity of 782 mAh/g is among the best anode materials for LIBs. In this report, Three-dimensional SnO2 nanowires (NWs) on carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film (SnO2 / CNT) is fabricated using a combination of vacuum filtration and thermal evaporation techniques. The ...

In electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) application, accurate information of state-ofcharge (SOC) and capacity of each cell are required for elaborate SOC/capacity estimation algorithm of the battery pack. However, the measurement of the states of all cells using sophisticated algorithms increases the computation time beyond practicality, because the computation time required...

Most sensory systems encode external signals into action potentials for transmission to the central nervous system, but little is known about the cost or efficiency of this encoding. We measured the information capacity at three stages of encoding in the neurons of a spider slit-sense mechanoreceptor organ. For the receptor current under voltage clamp, the capacity was approximately 1400 bits/s...

In previous work on the alternating current impedance of Arbacia punctulata egg suspensions (Cole and Cole, 1936b), it was found that the unfertilized egg had a static membrane capacity of 0.73/~f./cm. ~ which was independent of the frequency. On fertilization, the low frequency membrane capacity increased to 3.1/~f./cm. 2 and at intermediate frequencies there was evidence of another capacity e...
