Conduction disturbances caused by high current density electric fields.
During internal defibrillation, potential gradients greater than 100 V/cm occur near defibrillation electrodes. Such strong fields may cause deleterious effects, including arrhythmias. This study determined 1) the effects of such strong fields on the propagation of activation and 2) whether these effects were different for monophasic and biphasic shocks. Voltages and potential gradients during ...
متن کاملHigh-altitude electrical discharges associated with thunderstorms and lightning
The purpose of this paper is to introduce electrical discharge phenomena known as transient luminous events above thunderstorms to the lightning protection community. Transient luminous events include the upward electrical discharges from thunderstorms known as starters, jets, and gigantic jets, and electrical discharges initiated in the lower ionosphere such as sprites, halos, and elves. We gi...

متن کاملMotional spin relaxation in large electric fields
We discuss the precession of spin-polarized ultracold neutrons UCNs and He atoms in uniform and static magnetic and electric fields and calculate the spin relaxation effects from motional v E magnetic fields. Particle motion in an electric field creates a motional v E magnetic field, which when combined with collisions produces variations of the total magnetic field and results in spin relaxati...
