Three cases of suicides due to electricity, which happened outside the bathtub, are presented. In favour of suicide there spoke farewell letters, the situation of discovery or known depressive personality changes. In all three cases it was about male persons at the age of 19, 30 and 50. Low-voltage electricity was used. The locations chosen for the employed electric cables were: right wrist/lef...

Due to rising fossil fuel and electricity prices and the overall need to reduce carbon emissions, there is a growing interest in the utilisation of micro-generation amongst electricity consumers and governments alike. Electricity consumers are installing small scale generators on their premises, which are also being connected to existing low voltage (LV) electricity supply networks. High penetr...

in this paper coupled nonlinear equations of motion of a suspended cable with time dependent tension and velocity are derived by using hamilton’s principal. a modal analysis for a stationary sagged cable is initially carried out in order to identify the dynamic system. the natural solution is directed to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the free vibration of a suspended cable....

The extract of Jambol o (java plum), Eugenia jambolana Lam, was used as a natural sensitizer of a wide band-gap semiconductor (TiO2) in photoelectrochemical solar cells. The natural dye, adsorbed onto the semiconductor surface, absorbs visible light and promotes electron transfer across the dye/semiconductor interface. Photogenerated current and voltage as high as 2.3 mA and 711 mV, respectivel...

We consider a new and extended spatial neuron model in which the neuronal electrical depolarization from resting level satisfies a cable partial differential equation. The synaptic input current is also a function of space and time and satisfies a first order linear partial differential equation driven by a two-parameter random process. A natural choice for these random input processes is to ma...

The Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor is used to detect the temperature of the high voltage cable. The temperature measurement system is constructed and the functions of each part of the system is stated in detail. This temperature measurement systems presented in this paper is usefull for the operation of the power cable.

Empirical evidence exists that some marine animals perceive and orient to local distortions in the earth's main static geomagnetic field. The magnetic fields produced by undersea electric power cables that carry electricity from hydrokinetic energy sources to shore-based power stations may produce similar local distortions in the earth's main field. Concerns exist that animals migrating along t...

Voltage clamps for protecting low-voltage dc circuits require a new approach to circuit design. Many commonly used voltage clamps were built for systems of 5 V or higher, but lower-voltage systems require distinctive clamping abilities. The use of very-low-voltage precision enhancement-mode MOSFETs play a pivotal role in designing voltage clamps in low-voltage applications. Today’s electronic s...

The epidemics of obesity and diabetes most apparent in recent years had their origins with Thomas Edison's development of distributed electricity in New York City in 1882. His original direct current (DC) generators suffered serious commutator brush arcing which is a major source of high-frequency voltage transients (dirty electricity). From the onset of the electrical grid, electrified populat...
