Electrocution is one of the rarest modes of suicide. In this case, one school going adolescent committed suicide by electrocution using bare electric wire. This is a rare case of suicidal death by applying live wires around the wrists, simulating the act of judicial electrocution. He positioned himself on armed chair and placed the nude wire loops from a cable around both wrists and switched on...

In the work titled ‘‘Ensuring Safety of Implanted Devices Under MRI Using Reversed RF Polarization,’’ the authors propose a method based on reversed polarization, which can be used as a prescan technique for patients with implants. In their work, to visualize qualitatively the induced radiofrequency (RF) currents on a metallic lead inside the patient, they propose to reverse the RF polarization...

Active filtering of electric power has now become a mature technology for harmonic and reactive power compensation in two-wire (single phase), three-wire (three phase without neutral), and four-wire (three phase with neutral) ac power networks with nonlinear loads. This paper presents a comprehensive review of active filter (AF) configurations, control strategies, selection of components, other...

This paper presents an analysis on the unified Power quality conditioner (UPQC) to improve the electric power quality at distribution levels. Conventional power quality mitigation equipment is a providing to be poor for an increasing number of applications. Different approaches in compensation and recent developments in fields. Single modern and very promising solution that deal with both load ...

We study the conductance of a quantum wire in the presence of weak electron-electron scattering. In a sufficiently long wire the scattering leads to full equilibration of the electron distribution function in the frame moving with the electric current. At nonzero temperature this equilibrium distribution differs from the one supplied by the leads. As a result the contact resistance increases, a...

A primary cause of failure in microelectronic devices is void growth and movement in aluminum wire interconnects. In addition to thermal and mechanical stress, void evolution is driven by the electric field in the wire. Two new boundary element techniques, approximate Green's functions and Galerkin surface derivative evaluation, have been developed to assist in modeling the electromigration pro...

We investigate the transmission characteristics of perfectly conducting two-dimensional wire grid polarizers fabricated in finite and infinite apertures using a rigorous spectral-domain mode-matching method. Specifically, the transmission coefficient for both transverse-electric and transverse-magnetic polarizations, extinction ratio, and diffraction pattern are characterized for a wide variety...

The effectiveness of a new design of electric strained wire fence (CSL fence) for managing rabbits is currently being assessed in a two year trial. It is being compared with a commercially available electric netting fence (Flexinet fence) and also with farmers' normal control methods. The study is taking place on commercial farms in Cornwall, England, where the fences are being erected to prote...
