Introduction:  Electroporation  is  a  technique  for  increasing  the  permeability  of  the  cell  membrane  to  otherwise  non-permeate  molecules  due  to  an  external  electric  field.  This  permeability  enhancement  is  detectable if the induced transmembrane voltage becomes greater than a critical value which depends on the  pulse  strength  threshold.  In  this  study,  the  variabil...

The a.c. electric field distribution is studied in a composite, containing materials with small local losses. The possibility that 2D two-component system can have effective absorption in the absence of local absorption was evidented [1]. We study the second and higher moments of electric field and show that they diverge with the decrease of local absorption. The 3D system near the percolation ...

Studies of Rydberg atom collision processes, especially those with small reaction rate constants, are frequently complicated by spurious background signals associated with photoionization by thermal blackbody radiation and with ionization resulting from collisions with background gas. Here we demonstrate that the magnitude and relative importance of the signals that result from these processes ...

Abstract The liquid crystal director distribution is determined for a confined chiral nematic slab. The molecular director distribution of the field-controlled chiral nematic slab is directly calculated. The director profiles for the tilt and the twist angles, under different applied fields, are calculated in the slab with weak boundary conditions. Then, the dependence of the threshold field on...
