Is “capacitive coupling” purely excitatory in the cardiac tissue?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac muscle is a syncytial tissue of electrically coupled cells in which excitation of one cardiomyocyte spreads to all cardiomyocytes. Mechanisms of cell coupling in myocardial tissue can be categorized in two main groups: mechanisms that connect the intracellular parts of myocytes together (i.e., gap junctions), and mechanisms that act through changes in the small extracellular space of intercalated disks (ICD). The latter mechanisms are electric field coupling, ephaptic coupling, K accumulation, and capacitive coupling

A review study on the capacitive desalination set, and experimental fasibility study on coupling of FCDI and solar energy
Producing pottable water is a challenge for Midle Eastern countries including Iran. Desalination technology has been one of interesting subjects for researchers especially in the last decade. In this field, capacitive deionazition (CDI) has been increasingly studied. Study on this system is unavoidable due to its advantages such as low energy usage, low cost, and smaller footprint. In recent ye...
متن کاملUltra Wideband Monopole Antenna Excited by a Capacitive Coupling Feed with Double Band Notch Function
This paper presents the results of a new monopole antenna that exhibits 2.75-10.7 GHz performance. The proposed antenna consists of a radiating patch with notches excited by capacitive coupling feed. Also, the antennas truncated ground-plane incorporates a central notch. This modification significantly improves the antennas impedance bandwidth by 118% over an ultra-wideband frequency range. T...

This paper proposes a Micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) capacitive pressure sensor that relies on the movable electrode displaced like a flat plate equal to the maximum center deflection of diaphragm. The diaphragm, movable electrode and mechanical coupling are made of polysilicon, gold and Si3N4, respectively. The fixed electrode is gold and the substrate is Pyrex glass. This proposed method inc...
متن کاملExcitation/Inhibition Patterns in a System of Coupled Cortical Columns
We study how excitation and inhibition are distributed mesoscopically in small brain regions, by means of a computational model of coupled cortical columns described by neural mass models. Two cortical columns coupled bidirectionally through both excitatory and inhibitory connections can spontaneously organize in a regime in which one of the columns is purely excitatory and the other is purely ...

A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...
