∆u = ∂2u ∂x1 + ∂2u ∂x2 where x = (x1, x2) ∈ IR 2 are Cartesian coordinates. Even though the Poisson equation looks very special it is an important model case representing several problems from physics based on energy minimisation. Variations of the techniques we will study apply to a wide class of second order so-called elliptic problems. It is known that there are cases where no classical (i.e...

This article presents a millimetre-wave (MMW) wideband multibeam antenna array with pillbox transition using multilayer low-temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The mushroom structure dual resonant modes offers performance for radiating array, while an integrated reflector achieves scheme. To reduce the design complexity of electrically large system, two popular transitions are invest...

BACKGROUND Mutations in genes encoding the L-type cardiac calcium channel (LTCC) are associated with various types of inherited arrhythmias, including Brugada syndrome (BrS). However, the frequency in Asian populations remains unknown. This study aimed to elucidate disease-causing mutations in LTCC-related genes in Japanese patients diagnosed as BrS or idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF),...

Cell viability monitoring is an important part of biosafety evaluation for the detection of toxic effects on cells caused by nanomaterials, preferably by label-free, noninvasive, fast, and cost effective methods. These requirements can be met by monitoring cell viability with a capacitance-sensing integrated circuit (IC) microchip. The capacitance provides a measurement of the surface attachmen...

L-type calcium channels (LTCC) are responsible for Ca2+ influx into muscle and neurons. These macromolecular complexes minimally comprise the main poreforming CaVα1 and auxiliary subunits CaVβ and CaVα2δ1. The ultrastructure of the oligomeric LTCC complexes from heart and skeletal muscle has been reported previously at ≈ 20 Å, a resolution that prevent identification of structural domains. Rece...

In this paper, we present design, implementation, and measurement of a three-dimensional (3-D)-deployed RF front-end system-on-package (SOP) in a standard multi-layer low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. A compact 14 GHz GaAs MESFET-based transmitter module integrated with an embedded band pass filter was built on LTCC 951AT tapes. The up-converter MMIC integrated with a voltage ...

The dimensions of discrete passives, passive integrated components (arrays, networks) and embedded integral ones should be reduced significantly in the nearest future. Therefore the relations between technological accuracy and limitations, minimal geometrical dimensions and electrical as well as stability properties becomemore andmore important. This paper presents systematic studies of thick-f...

The interactions of L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) and NMDA receptors (NMDARs) in memories are poorly understood. Here we investigated the specific roles of anterior piriform cortex (aPC) LTCCs and NMDARs in early odor preference memory in mice. Using calcium imaging in aPC slices, LTCC activation was shown to be dependent on NMDAR activation. Either D-APV (NMDAR antagonist) or nifedipine (LTC...

In longwall top coal caving (LTCC), due to the fracture and migration of coal, roof will break collapse, which causes serious impact damage hydraulic support. Therefore, we aimed reveal relationship between instability effect bearing characteristics support in LTCC face. Based on occurrence conditions 08 mining area Shilawusu Coal Mine, model upper immediate was established, working resistance ...
