We have examined the responses of 141 layer VI cells in the feline visual cortex. Within this group we compared the responses of a subpopulation of cells checked for connectivity by electrical stimulation in the dLGN and the visual claustrum. The antidromically identified corticogeniculate projecting cells had relatively short receptive fields, as judged from length response curves, measured qu...

Compact fluorescent and solid-state lights rapidly gain ground in the lighting market. Developments in the size, efficiency and reliability of these light sources are accompanied by advancements in the embedded electronics driving them. The long lifetime of these light sources requires that the electronics parts last at least equally long. The power transistor, a transistor specially designed t...

Cell fusion is induced between guard cell and mesophyll cell protoplasts of Vicia faba by electrical field application. The process of fusion is initiated by electrical breakdown of the cell membrane. Prior to the application of an external electrical field pulse which brings about reversible breakdown of the membrane, the cells (suspended in a low-conducting medium) are brought into close cont...

The deformation / motion of a droplet suspended in a viscous liquid under the influence of an applied external electrical field are investigated through numerical simulations. The two-phase flow field of the drop suspension system is simulated using a front tracking / finite volume method for solving the full Navier-Stokes equations. Three different electric field models are applied in order to...

Surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are propagating electromagnetic modes bound at a metal-dielectric interface. We report on electrical generation of SPPs by reproducing the analogue in the near field of the slit-doublet experiment, in a device which includes all the building blocks required for a fully integrated plasmonic active source: an electrical generator of SPPs, a coupler, and a passive...

We calculate the electrical and thermal conductivities and the thermoelectric coefficient of a class of strongly interacting 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories with anti-de Sitter space duals. We obtain these transport coefficients as a function of charge density, background magnetic field, temperature and frequency. We show that the thermal conductivity and thermoelectric coefficient are...

two dimensional single frequency scalar vlf data modeling has been studied in this research. vlf method is one of the electromagnetic investigation methods. radio frequency waves are used for investigation of conductive deposits (paal, 1968). synthetic modeling and inversion of single frequency and multiple frequencies of vlf signals was done by oskooi (2004) for two dimensional simple structur...

the effect of pulse electric field on mass transfer in sugar beet cossettes with different thicknesses were investigated and compared with traditional thermal processing. two kinds of sugar beet cossettes 3±0.5 cm and 2±0.5 thicknesses with 3–5 cm long subjected to pulse electric field (3kv, 8 µf, and 20 pulse) and compared with heat treated samples (80ºc for15 minutes) as conventional thermal ...
