introduction: as a physical treatment, electrochemical therapy (echt) has provided an effective and useful  approach  for  treating  localized  tumors.  the  chemical  changes  due  to  a  direct  electric  current  destroy  the  tumor. this study evaluates the effect of electrical dose and polarity on the efficacy of the treatment of a  colon tumor model.  materials and methods: in order to in...

We report here that the rich functional chemistry of poly(aryleneethynylene)s (such as PPE) allows us to prepare various single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with tunable functionalities and solubilities. In contrast to pristine SWNTs, soluble SWNTs can be homogeneously dispersed in commercial polymers such as polycarbonate, polystyrene etc. These composites showed dramatic improvements in th...

Extensive experimental results for various square spiral inductors on GaAs substrate are presented in this paper. Through detailed studies of the inductances extracted from the de-embedded onchip measured S-parameters, the relationships between the electrical characteristics and the geometrical parameters of the spiral inductors are revealed. Based on the curve fitting technique, a behavioral m...

Residential electrical wiring safety practices in the US result in the possibility of a small voltage (up to a few tenths of a volt) on appliance surfaces with respect to water pipes or other grounded surfaces. This "open circuit voltage" (V(OC)) will cause "contact current" to flow in a person who touches the appliance and completes an electrical circuit to ground. This paper presents data sug...

Voltage fluctuation is one of the important types of power quality aspects originated from heavy fluctuating loads. This phenomenon can influence the behavior of induction motors, produce excessive vibration and increase the ohmic losses. In this paper a simplified model to evaluate the electrical characteristics of three phase induction motors under voltage fluctuation conditions will be prese...

this paper presents a formulation of unit commitment for thermal units integrated with wind and solar energy systems and electrical vehicles with emphasizing on mixed integer nonlinear programming (minlp). the renewable energy resources are included in this model due to their low electricity cost and positive effect on environment. as well as, coordinated charging strategy of electrical vehicle...
