A vertically integrated and serially connected npnp Si-based resonant interband tunnelling diode (RITD) pair is realised with low temperature molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) by monolithically stacking two RITDs with different spacer thicknesses. The asymmetric design manifests as unequal peak current densities that provide for much larger and uniform separation of the holding states for multi-valu...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the limitations of the double sucrose gap voltage clamp technique in the determination of tension-voltage relationships for frog atrial muscle. Tension-voltage relationships were determined under two conditions. In one case we determined both the tension response and slow inward current associated with an apparent step depolarization (step-clamp) as a f...

The peak-load management of a distribution network (DN) has gained attention by increasing the electric power consumption on demand side. By developing smart-grid infrastructures, effective utilization DN’s components and proper DN would create valuable solution for operators. Hence, in this paper, framework is proposed which real-time rating voltage-dependent features loads help operator handl...

1. Voltage-activated currents in cell bodies of the somatic muscle cells of Ascaris suum were studied using a two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. Cells recorded from had resting membrane potentials around -35 mV and had input conductances in the range 1-10 microS. 2. In cells bathed in artificial perienteric fluid, depolarizing steps from a holding potential of -35 mV elicited outward c...

Dendritic mechanisms have been implied to play a key role in the formation of epileptic discharges. However, presently only a handful of direct dendritic recordings have been reported during epileptic discharges. In this study, I performed simultaneous voltage recordings from the soma and apical dendrite of the same neuron combined with calcium-imaging measurements to investigate inter-ictal- a...

The demand for increased voltage in renewable energy sources is relatively high. This study examines the rapid development of technology considering use voltage-increasing transformers. Voltage regulator circuits are generally used to stabilize output rectifier according amount input from transformer. However, components high-voltage stabilizer rare, which becomes an obstacle stabilization outp...

To determine the roles of the individual S4 segments in domains I and II to activation and inactivation kinetics of sodium current (INa) in NaV1.5, we used a tethered biotin and avidin approach after a site-directed cysteine substitution was made in the second outermost Arg in each S4 (DI-R2C and DII-R2C). We first determined the fraction of gating charge contributed by the individual S4's to m...
