Understanding the processes, phenomena, and mechanisms occurring at electrode/electrolyte interface is a prerequisite significant for optimizing electrochemical systems. To this end, advent of sub-microsecond laser pulses has paved way eased investigations (e. g., electric double layer), which hitherto difficult. The laser-induced current transient (LICT) potential (LIPT) techniques have proven...

A polymorphism of the alpha-subunit of adducin, Gly460-->Trp, may affect membrane ion transport and be associated with human EH (essential hypertension). The alpha-adducin Gly460-->Trp polymorphism was determined in 242 NC (normal controls) and 73 patients with EH and was related to the membrane ion transport marker in EH, erythrocyte Na/LiCT (sodium-lithium countertransport), in a subgroup of ...

Response spectral matching is a process in which a real recorded earthquake ground motion is modified such that its response spectrum matches a desired target spectrum across a range of periods. Spectral matching algorithms aim to minimise artificial adjustments introduced to the seed, such that original non-stationary characteristics, such as velocity pulses commonly observed in ground motions...
