Piezo proteins have recently been identified as ion channels mediating mechanosensory transduction in mammalian cells. Characterization of these channels has yielded important insights into mechanisms of somatosensation, as well as other mechano-associated biologic processes such as sensing of shear stress, particularly in the vasculature, and regulation of urine flow and bladder distention. Ot...

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is not only used in human assisted reproduction (ART), but it is also widely employed for veterinary in vitro fertilization during rare species preservation, germ-line rescue of transgenic animals or for any veterinary assisted conception. Piezo-assisted ICSI, which was first described in 1995 [1], can be employed for assisted conception in animals in whi...

Bu bildiride, açık döngülü piezo-elektrik doğrusal sürücüler için yüksek çözünürlükte histerez telafisi gösterilmektedir. Piezo-elektrik malzemelerde yapıları gereği mevcut olan doğrusalsızlıklar, Bouc-Wen modeli kullanılarak model tabanlı bir kontrol algoritması ile telafi edilmiştir. Telafi için kullanılan yöntemin histerez davranışında zaman, değişen frekans ve farklı hareket genişliği neden...

Micro Piezo technology is offering superior features in ink ejection performance, compatibility with a wide variety of inks, and durability. As a result, this technology has already being utilized effectively in various commercial and industrial fields such as photo lab printing, digital printing, textile printing, and color filter manufacturing. However, new printheads that have a larger numbe...

The separation distances between the pressure, the luminous, the ionization and the current front in a magnetically driven shock tube were investigated under discharge conditions of constant voltage and variable pressures. In order to achieve a steady-state, one-dimensional flowparallelplate electrodes and a constant voltage energy source were chosen, onventional magnetic probe and piezo-electr...

It is generally believed that the magnetic free energy accumulated in the corona serves as a main energy source for solar explosions such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In the framework of the flux rope catastrophe model for CMEs, the energy may be abruptly released either by an ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) catastrophe, which belongs to a global magnetic topological instability of the sys...

We investigate the non-linear interaction of a strong Gravitational Wave with the plasma during the collapse of a massive magnetized star to form a black hole, or during the merging of neutron star binaries (central engine). We found that under certain conditions this coupling may result in an efficient energy space diffusion of particles. We suggest that the atmosphere created around the centr...

We investigate the nonlinear interaction of a strong gravitational wave with the plasma during the collapse of a massive magnetized star and subsequent formation of a black hole or during the merging of neutron star binaries (the central engine). We found that under certain conditions this coupling may result in an efficient energy-space diffusion of particles. We suggest that the atmosphere cr...

We show that Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the interlayer resistivity of the organic superconductor beta(")-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3 become very pronounced in magnetic fields approximately 60 T. The conductivity minima exhibit thermally activated behavior that can be explained simply by the presence of a Landau gap, with the quasi-one-dimensional Fermi surface sheets contributing negligibly ...
