Layer IV of rodent somatosensory cortex contains identifiable networks of neurons, called "barrels," that are related one-to-one to individual whiskers on the face. A previous study (Simons and Carvell, 1989) described differences between the response properties of thalamic and cortical vibrissa neurons and proposed that these transformations can be explained by several features of barrel anato...

An inventing electrical power generation system is developed by integrating simultaneously solar energy, rains energy, wind energy, charged cloud energy, lightning energy, thunder energy which are assigned as nonconventional or renewable energy sources. All the natural wastage energies are used for production of electricity. Electrical power is accomplished with a minimum cost and pollution fre...

Background: Mediodorsal (MD) thalamic nucleus, which is considered to take place between extra pyramidal and limbic feedback circuit, receives projective fibers from ventrolateral neurons of reticular part of substantia nigra (SNr). In order to better understand the influence and chemical reaction of these fibers upon MD nucleus, the morphology and synaptology of them were examined in the prese...

The presence of non-linear loads and the increasing number of distributed generation power systems (DGPS) in electrical grids contribute to change the characteristics of voltage and current waveforms in power systems, which differ from pure sinusoidal constant amplitude signals. Under these conditions advanced signal processing techniques are required for accurate measurement of electrical powe...

Induction motor is the most popular load in the industry, it is very important to study about the effects of voltage quality on induction motor performance. One of the most important voltage quality problems in power system is voltage unbalance. This paper evaluates and compares two methods including finite element method (FEM) and equivalent electrical circuit simulation for investigation ...

power transformers are key components in electrical power supplies and their failure could cause severe consequences on continuity of service and also generates substantial costs. identifying problems at an early stage, before catastrophic failure occurs, is a great benefit for reliable operation of power transformers. frequency response analysis (fra) is a new, well-known and powerful diagnost...

It is commonly claimed that achieving maximum power from a thermoelectric generator necessitates electrical load matching conditions instead of the operating condition derived for maximum generator efficiency. Here we explain why the electrical load matching claim for maximum power in a design optimization is flawed and show that the load condition derived for maximum efficiency always produces...

OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence and type of early developmental lesions in patients with a clinical presentation consistent with electrical status epilepticus in sleep either with or without prominent sleep-potentiated epileptiform activity (PSPEA). METHODS We performed a case-control study and enrolled patients with 1) clinical features consistent with electrical status epilepticus in sl...

Informations for the neural mechanism of pain sensation are still insufficient. Haugen and Melzack (1, 2) have shown that the afferent fibers most closely related to pain per ception caused by electrical stimulation of the tooth pulp project to the sensory cortex through the trigemino-bulbo-thalamic tract, but not via the trigeminal lemniscus. The significance of participation of the thalamic i...
