Introduction: Different ATP-sensitive potassium channels have been detected in the mitochondrial inner membrane of cells. They are suggested to be involved in cell processes including cell protection. Here, we characterized the biophysical and electropharmacological properties of a KATP channel in the brain mitochondrial inner membranes. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain...

Submarine channels are ubiquitous on the seafloor and their inception and evolution is a result of dynamic interaction between turbidity currents and the evolving seafloor. However, the morphodynamic links between channel inception and flow dynamics have not yet been monitored in experiments and only in one instance on the modern seafloor. Previous experimental flows did not show channel incept...

Methods for identifying the size, or scale, of hillslopes and the extent of channel networks from digital elevation models (DEMs) are examined critically. We show that a constant critical support area, the method most commonly used at present for channel network extraction from DEMs, is more appropriate for depicting the hillslope/valley transition than for identifying channel heads. Analysis o...

Double Gate FinFET devices are suitable for nano electronic circuits due to better scalability, higher on-current (Ion), improved Sub-threshold Slope (SS) and undoped body (no random dopant fluctuation). Body thickness (TSi) increases the gate control over the channel resulting in reduced short channel effects (SCEs). Thin Tsi increases the quantum confinement of charge, resulting increased thr...

Knowledge of habitat requirements of aquatic animals plays an important role in fisheries and protection programs of aquatic ecosystems. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the suitability indexes of habitat use and habitat suitability index (HSI) of Barbus cyri in its distribution range in Tootkabon River. A number of environmental variables, including elevation, water depth, river ...

[1] Scale and slope dependence of hydrologic response are investigated for two channel network source areas (unchanneled valleys) in the Oregon Coast Range. Observations of response to both natural and applied precipitation reveal that runoff occurred as subsurface flow in which water passed through partially saturated soil, into the shallow fractured bedrock, to emerge as subsurface partial so...

In this paper, path loss (PL) model for IEEE 802.11n in large rectangular room is determined on basis of PL measurements. It is found that PL model can be described by a TGn channel model and free-space model at small distances with PL exponent of 2.67 and 2. At large distances PL model can be described by one-slope model with PL exponent of 1.6. Further, it is determined PL exponent increases ...
