Brown ghost knife fish (Apteronotus leptorhynchus) can briefly increase their electric organ discharge (EOD) frequency to produce electrocommunication signals termed chirps. The chirp rate increases when fish are presented with conspecific fish or high-frequency (700-1100 Hz) electric signals that mimic conspecific fish. We examined whether A. leptorhynchus also chirps in response to artificial...

electric motors are the largest consumer of world electric energy, consuming more than twice as much as lighting, the next largest consumer. electric motors account for between 43 and 46% of all global electricity consumption approximately. they give rise to about 6 040 mt of co2 emissions. end‐users approximately spend usd 565 billion per year on electricity [1]. in recent years, increase in e...

Propose: Standard electroporation and electrochemotherapy caused the endothe- lial cell permeability and reduction in tumor blood flow. The effects of low voltage and high frequency electroporation on the endothelial cells permeability and viability were expected. Therefore, the propose of present study was to evaluate the effect of electroporation with bleomycin or alone on viability and perme...

In this paper, the effects of plasma discharge parameters on the nano particles formation process in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) reactor using a model based on equations of ionization kinetics for different active species are studied. A radio frequency applied electric field causes ionization inside the reactor and consequently different reaction schemically active speci...

In a case-control study of childhood leukemia in relation to exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields (EMF), 399 children resident in five Canadian provinces who were diagnosed at ages 0-14 years between 1990 and 1994 (June 1995 in British Columbia and Quebec) were enrolled, along with 399 controls. Exposure assessment included 48-hour personal EMF measurement, wire coding and m...

A rather novel method has been studied, referred to here as electric-field-induced coherent Raman scattering (E-CRS). Two beams of laser pulses of frequencies, whose energy difference matches to the Raman transition, produce an infrared (IR) coherent beam corresponding to the Raman transition energy in the presence of a direct-current (dc) electric field. The IR light may be considered as an an...
