The discharge patterns of the primary vestibular afferents of the anesthetized pigeon were studied. The mean resting discharge of these cells is similar to that reported for mammals. Neurons varied with respect to rate and regularity of resting discharge. It was found that the higher the mean rate the more regular the resting discharge. Depolarizing currents directly applied to the ampulla of t...

The aging characteristics of lithium titanate batteries under ultra-high discharge rate were studied in this paper. is highly temperature-dependent 55C rate. capacity retention about 73% after 100 cycles discharge. in-situ analysis incremental (ICA) was used to analyze the mechanism, and it found that main reason for fading loss active material positive electrode, which leads an increase polari...

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that acute illness and hospitalization may increase the risk for falls. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the rate of falls, and associated risk factors, for 90 days following hospital discharge. METHODS We consecutively enrolled 311 patients, aged 65 years and older, discharged from the hospital after an acute medical illness and receiving home-nursing services. Patients w...

1. Single unitary activity in primate somatosensory cortex (SI) was recorded while monkeys maintained a range of static arm postures. Unit discharge was related to parameters defining the posture of the arm by multiple linear regression techniques. 2. Two monkeys were trained to grasp a manipulandum presented at locations distributed throughout their workspace. The discharge of single units in ...

Electrical discharging machining (EDM) has become an outstanding approach in the field of metal cutting especially for conductive metals. It’s very difficult to cut the conducting metals with the aid of traditional machining. The main object of the present work has to investigate the effects of various EDM input parameters like pulse on time (Ton) pulse off time (TOFF) as well as the influence ...
