electrode arrays allows for the interpretation of the twodimensional distribution of electrical conductivity in the The analytic element method is used to investigate the spatial subsurface. The electrical conductivity distribution can sensitivity of different electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) arrays. By defining the sensitivity of an array to a subsurface location we then be related to t...

Dalton, F.N. and van Genuchten, M.Th., 1986. The time-domain reflectometry method for measuring soil water content and salinity. Geoderma, 38: 237--250. This paper discusses the physical principles and use of time-domain reflectometry as a new tool for studying water and solute transport in unsaturated soils. In-situ measurements of water content and bulk soil electrical conductivity are shown ...

This study examines the influence of radial thickness on the thermal conductivity of thin metallic wires. While size effects on the electrical conductivity of thin wires have been discussed in the literature, research into size effects on thermal conductivity still requires investigation. At such small length scales, the assumption that the reduced electrical conductivity can be simply related ...

Carbon materials such as graphite and graphene exhibit high electrical conductivity. We examined the electrical conductivity of synthetic and natural graphene powders after the chemical reduction of synthetic and natural graphite oxide from synthetic and natural graphite. The trend of electrical conductivity of both graphene (synthetic and natural) was compared with different graphite materials...

Magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) is a conductivity imaging method based on injecting currents into the object. In this study, a new MR-EIT method, whereby currents are induced inside the object by using external coils, is proposed. This new method is called induced current magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography. In induced current MR-EIT surface electrodes...

abstract wenner direct contact method is a method of estimating apparent electrical conductivity (eca) of agricultural soils in situ. this method can be affected by factors such as quality of electrodes in contact with soil, type of employed electric current, moisture content, clay content and compaction of soil. in this research, the effect of electrode type (rod and plate) and electric curren...

Rheological and electrical properties of polymeric nanoparticle solutions and their influence on the rheological and electrical properties of red blood cell (RBC) suspensions have been studied. Poly(acrylic acid) macromolecules of different architecture and molecular weight were used: (i) a new core-shell type star polymer whose interior forms hyperbranched polystyrene bearing arms of poly(acry...

Subjection of biological cells to high intensity pulsed electric field results in the permeabilization of the cell membrane. Measurement of the electrical conductivity change allows an analysis of the dynamics of the process, determination of the permeabilization thresholds, and ion efflux influence. In this work a compact electro-permeabilization system for controlled treatment of biological c...

In this work, the electrical characterization of graphene films grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a Ni thin film is carried out and a simple relation between the gate-dependent electrical transport and the thickness of the films is presented. Arrays of two-terminal devices with an average graphene film thickness of 6.9 nm were obtained using standard fabrication techniques. A simple t...
