axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron number density and the electron energy distribution function (eedf) have been measured in the double layer (dl) region of an he discharge constriction. excitation processes in the constriction region are studied. using a linearization method for the nonstationary balance equations and choosing appropriate discharge conditions, the ...

introduction: patients administered with a therapeutic dose of 131i for thyroid cancer treatment are potential sources of unacceptably high radiation exposure to other individuals, particularly the patient's immediate family members. the aim of this study is to investigate effects of early liothyronine consumption after radio-iodine therapy on accumulated dose and exposure rate in patients with...

In previous investigations, we have demonstrated that: 1) motor unit discharge rate during maximal voluntary effort is greater in young adults than in older persons, though motor unit discharge rate at 50% of maximal effort is similar in these two groups (Kamen et al., 1995), 2) motor unit discharge rates at submaximal forces declines as a result of resistance exercise training in young and old...

This study investigated the effects of acute psychosocial stress on trapezius single motor unit discharge behaviors. Twenty-one healthy women performed feedback-controlled isometric contractions under conditions of low and high psychosocial stress in the same experimental session. Psychosocial stress was manipulated using a verbal math task combined with social evaluative threat that significan...

Lithium-carbon monofluoride (Li/CF x ) D-sized battery cells discharged at very low rates (C/1800) were found to deliver inconsistent capacities. These effects be absent as the discharge rate was increased C/600. Destructive physical analysis of C/1800 confirmed corrosion, manifesting preferential utilization Li anode around copper current collector, discoloration remaining excess Li, and more ...
