Understanding fixed motor pattern diversity across related species provides a window for exploring the evolution of their underlying neural mechanisms. The electric organ discharges of weakly electric fishes offer several advantages as paradigmatic models for investigating how a neural decision is transformed into a spatiotemporal pattern of action. Here, we compared the far fields, the near fi...

In this paper the apparent dissociation constants of arginine and of lysine at 25” and the apparent dissociation constants of arginine, lysine, histidine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid at 0” are reported. We have made use of these data together with previously published data for the apparent dissociation constants of histidine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid for the purpose of calculating ...

The total active transport of chloride ions across the gastric mucosa can be considered as the sum of two fractions; an acidic one which is equivalent to the acid secreted, and an electromotive one which accounts for the electric energy generated by the gastric mucosa. In the present studies, the relationship between this electromotive chloride transport and acid secretion has been investigated...

We propose a novel power supply circuit that can make a standby power consumption of an infrared remote (IR) controlled product completely zero. Our proposal is a hybrid power supply circuit combining the energy harvesting and conventional power supply structure. The IR controlled product employing our proposal has no pass of electric current in the standby mode. It is activated by the electrom...
