We report a molecular engineering study on optical, structural and electrical properties of seven silole derivates aiming at enhancing the balance of charge carrier in single-layer devices. By functionalizing two hole-transporting groups, dipyridylamine or anthracene, on the silole ring, we have investigated the influence of both entity types on the hole current. We have concluded that in contr...

The sources and rates of metabolic acid production in relation to renal net acid excretion and thus acid balance in humans have remained controversial. The techniques and possible errors in these measurements are reviewed, as is the relationship of charge balance to acid balance. The results demonstrate that when acid production is experimentally increased among healthy subjects, renal net acid...

How We Calculate Interest We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the daily rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the following balance types, as applicable: purchases and balances subject to different interest rates, plans or special promotions. See below for more de...

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) has been explored in order to restore the capabilities of the nervous system in patients that suffer from paralysis. This area of research and of clinical practice greatly benefits from any technological improvement yielding miniaturization. In this regard, we recently proposed and demonstrated an innovative electrical stimulation method based on implante...

We consider a classical system of n charged particles confined by an external potential in any dimension d bigger than 2. The particles interact via pairwise repulsive Coulomb forces and the pair-interaction strength scales as the inverse of n (mean-field regime). The goal is to investigate the microscopic structure of the minimizers. It has been proved by Sandier-Serfaty (d=2) and Rougerie-Ser...

A collisionless plasma is modelled by the Vlasov-Poisson system in three space dimensions. A fixed background of positive charge—dependant upon only velocity— is assumed. The situation in which mobile negative ions balance the positive charge as x → is considered. Thus, the total positive charge and the total negative charge are both infinite. Smooth solutions with appropriate asymptotic behavi...
