Electrical stimulation of baroreceptor afferents was used in the 1960's in several species, including human beings, for the treatment of refractory hypertension. This approach bypasses the site of baroreceptor mechanosensory transduction. Chronic electrical stimulation of arterial baroreceptors, particularly of the carotid sinus nerve (Hering's nerve), was proposed as an ultimate effort to trea...

The authors are with the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Pittsburgh, PA 15236 USA Abstract—This paper updates an earlier report by the authors that studied electrical injuries from 1992 to 1998. The previous information is expanded and supplemented with fatal and nonfatal injury rates and trends through 2002. Injury numbers and rates were u...

in this paper, a neural network model reference adaptive system speed observer is designed, which can be used in speed control of linear induction motors (lims). dynamical equations of lim have been considered accurate. in other words, the end effect and the electrical losses of the motor have been included in the motor equivalent circuit. then equations of the reference model and adaptive mode...

The study of the electrical resistivity ρL of alkali Na-based binary alloys Na1−xLix, Na1−xKx, Na1−xRbx and Na1−xCsx have been made by well-recognized model potential of Gajjar et al. The most recent exchange and correlation functions due to Farid et al (F) and Sarkar et al (S) are used for the first time in the study of electrical resistivity of liquid binary mixtures and found suitable for su...

As implied by its name, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is to reconstruct an impedance distribution in an object of interest from electrical measurement on the boundary of the object. Because of its non-invasiveness, portability and practical utilities, EIT has been actively studied since 1970s and led to many useful and inspiring results. There are already two books on this subject. One ...

A strong interaction between light and a magnet can produce a hybrid system with energy levels distinct from either the light or the magnet on its own. In this “strong coupling” regime, quantum information can be easily transferred from the light to the magnet and vice versa. This feature could be useful in quantum information technologies or as a way to use one component (say, the light) to pr...

Scientists freely acknowledge that more than 80% of the matter and energy in the universe is “dark matter” and “dark energy” where “dark” only means that we cannot readily see that form of matter and energy. The highly respected British scientist Dr Harold Aspden, has been awarded a patent for a system to collect this energy directly. The patent, which is one of several similar patents included...

Knowledge of the electrical conductivity properties of excitable tissues is essential for relating the electromagnetic fields generated by the tissue to the underlying electrophysiological currents. Efforts to characterize these endogenous currents from measurements of the associated electromagnetic fields would significantly benefit from the ability to measure the electrical conductivity prope...
