The authors have applied an advanced set of auto-regressive tools for identifying potentially complex, linear and nonlinear relationships in data, wherein the underlying physical relationships are not well described. In this paper these tools and techniques are described in detail, and the results of the application of these tools to evaluation of diesel engine lubricating oil health (based on ...

A theoretical ac impedance model of biological tissue has been proposed after studying a cellular membrane using X-ray diffraction technique [1], a metal/organic system using ac impedance spectroscopy [2] and reviewing two pieces of literature of similar topics [3,4]. This paper emphasizes ac impedance techniques which can be used to study any heterogeneous materials in order to develop a lumpe...

Impedance spectroscopy with temperature as a parameter is shown to be sensitive to deep-level states in an n-GaAs Schottky diode. A mathematical model is developed which accounts for the influence of electronic transitions involving deep-level states on the impedance response of the device. Regression of the model to the data is shown to require a weighting strategy that accounts for the varian...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy performed on surface-supported bilayer membranes allows for the monitoring of changes in membrane properties, such as thickness, ion permeability, and homogeneity, after exposure to antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). We show that two model cationic peptides, very similar in sequence but different in activity, induce dramatically different changes in membrane p...

This paper is concerned with a physical model of an interdigitated sensor working in a frequency range from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. A theoretical approach is proposed to optimize the use of the sensor for bioimpedance spectroscopy. The correlation between design parameters and frequency behavior in coplanar impedance sensors are described. CoventorWare software was used to model the biological medium...

In this paper, a new approach to the computation of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is presented where the EIS system is represented by a convolutional model, and thus the impedance of the EIS system is computed using robust deconvolution algorithms. Very promising results are obtained .

aisi 304l austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensiticprocess. corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5m hcl solution using open circuitpotential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. also, the correlationbetween the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was asses...

electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) is a suitable and powerful diagnostic testing method for fuel cells (fcs) since it is non-destructive and provides useful information about fc performance and its components. in this study, for the first time, a 500w cascade type 4 cells stack with integrated humidifier, water separator and internal manifolds was designed, fabricated and tested. the ...
