A theoretical analysis of the circuits for a nitrogen laser driven by the Blumlein or capacitor charge transfer transmission line is given in detail. The electrical characteristics of the charge line for a special case of resonant charging are discussed and the effects of various parameters on voltage and current are investigated. By using MICRO-CAP software the transient behavior of the curren...

Ever since the picturesque description of "animal electricity" by Galvani in the latter part of the eighteenth century, it has been tacitly assumed that electrical phenomena could be found associated with many biological processes. In fact, in recent years, a score or more of distinguished investigators have been studying the alternating current characteristics of the nervous system. These stud...

External direct coupled recordings from the neurons of the mechanosensory hairs of insects show nerve impulses and graded slow potentials in response to deformation of the hair. These slow potentials or receptor potentials are negative going, vary directly with the magnitude of the stimulus, and show no overshoot when returning to baseline. The impulses have an initial positive phase which vari...

Introduction: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique utilized in various medical applications, including brain imaging and other neurological diseases. Recognizing the physiological and anatomical characteristics of organs based on their electrical properties is one of the main applications of EIT, as each variety of tissue structure has its own electrical characteris...
