INTRODUCTION Humans experience touch as pleasant when this occurs with a certain velocity (1-10cm/s). Affective, pleasant touch is thought to be mediated by a distinct neural pathway consisting of un-myelinated tactile afferents (C tactile fibers) that respond to stroking with a low velocity on the hairy skin. As pleasant touch provides additional information on bodily signals we hypothesized t...

The experimental results of the two-photon absorption(TPA) and Mössbauerrotor(MR) for testing the isotropy of the speed of light are explained in an ether drift model with a drift velocity of ∼ 10c. Further tests of the ether drift assumption are suggested.

By orbit-limited motion (OLM) theory and the kinetic model, currents carried by electronsand ions on the dust grain are obtained and the effects of temperature and drift velocity of ions on thedust grain electrical potential are considered. The calculations were performed for finding the role of densities of dust grains and ions on the dust grain electrical potential which is the ma...

Due to the chemical stability and perfection of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) structure, carrier mobility is not affected by processing and roughness scattering as it is in the conventional semiconductor channel. Therefore, CNTs are being considered as viable candidates for high-speed applications. The mobility and saturation velocity are the two important parameters that control the charge transport...

Large amplitude magnetic fluctuation with ion cyclotron range frequency was observed inside the current sheet region during magnetic reconnection in the plasma merging experiment for the first time. The fluctuation exhibited parallel phase velocity close to the drift velocity in the current sheet and parallel wavelength comparable with the ion gyroradius, suggesting that the reconnection rate e...

The drift velocity of electrons has been measured in liquid argon and in liquid argon containing nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen as impurities. It has been found that with nitrogen and hydrogen in solution the drift velocity increases, but that, because of strong electron attachment, inSui3cient oxygen could be added to produce an observable effect. The results support the view that the behaviour...

Both compressive and rarefactive solitons are found to exist in the unmagnetized dusty plasma in presence of electrons’ drift velocity ( e v ). Comparision with the earlier findings shows that the factor which is responsible for the existence both compressive and rarefactive solitons is the electrons’ drift velocity ( e v ) in the plasma. It is observed that the compressive solitons exist for...

Molecular communication is a promising technique for microchannel systems. In this paper, various microchannel molecular communication schemes are simulated and analyzed using information theory, including molecular motors and Brownian motion with drift. Results suggest Brownian motion with drift can deliver excellent performance, depending on the drift velocity.
