Ionic liquids are composed of equal quantities of positive and negative ions. In the bulk, electrical neutrality occurs in these liquids due to Coulombic ordering, in which ion shells of alternating charge form around a central ion. Their structure under confinement is far less well understood. This hinders the widespread application of ionic liquids in technological applications. Here we use s...

The case histories of two individuals exposed to thermal radiation emitted from an electric oven and range were presented. In one patient, earlier exposure to medical diathermy appears to have initiated delayed or late-appearing, capsular cataracts. Instead of the anticipated slow progression, the cataractogenesis was accelerated following recent, repeated exposure to the intense, infrared radi...

We formulate a Euclidean lattice theory of interacting elementary spin-half electric and magnetic charges, which we refer to as electrons and magnetic monopoles respectively. The model uses the polymer representation of the fermion determinant , and exhibits a self-dual symmetry provided electric charge e and magnetic charge g obey the minimal Dirac quantisation condition eg = 2π. In a hopping ...

The dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystals causes director reorientation in an applied electric field and is thus at the heart of electro-optic applications of these materials. The components of the dielectric tensor are frequency dependent. Until recently, this frequency dependence was not accounted for in a description of director dynamics in an electric field. We theoretically derive the r...

In this paper, we focus on the frequent glitches of general family cars. Based on the Neural Network theory and combining with the Micro-chip processor technology, we design an expert system-‘‘Integrated Cars Repairing Tools” (ICRT) and the size of the proposed ICRT is quite small and achieves the following attractive functions: (1) Portable Electric-jack, (2) Electric Tire-pressure-meter, (3) ...

Ferromagnetism and exotic topological structures in SrRuO3 (SRO) induce sign-changing anomalous Hall effect (AHE). Recently, hump have been reported the resistivity of SRO thin films, especially ultra-thin regime. We investigate AHE structure films with an SrTiO3 (STO) capping layer ionic liquid gating. STO results sign changes modulation structure. In particular, is strongly modulated even van...

[1] We present electric and magnetic fields measured at multiple stations between about 300 and 800 m of a cloud-to-ground ‘‘bipolar’’ lightning flash containing two initial positive strokes, separated in time by 53 ms and striking ground at two locations separated by about 800 m, followed by four negative strokes that traversed the same path as the second positive stroke. The leader electric f...

Recent studies have shown that central nervous system neurons in weakly electric fish respond to artificially constructed electrosensory envelopes, but the behavioral relevance of such stimuli is unclear. Here we investigate the possibility that social context creates envelopes that drive behavior. When Eigenmannia virescens are in groups of three or more, the interactions between their pseudo-...
