Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s Disease. Static models based on quasi-static approximation are common approaches for DBS modeling. While this simplification has been validated for bioelectric sources, its application to rapid stimulation pulses, which contain more high-frequency power, may not be appropriate, as DBS therapeutic results depend on stimulus par...

The effect of electric fields on dry oriented multibilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) was investigated by transmission Fourier transform infrared electric field modulated excitation (E-ME) spectroscopy. A periodic rectangular electric potential (0-150 V, 1.25 Hz, 28.4 degrees C +/- 0.2 degrees C) was applied across the sample. To discriminate electric field-induced effects from p...

[1] The electric fields associated with streamer discharges in transient luminous events (TLEs) have been recentlymeasured by considering the ratios of spatially integrated radiation intensities of band systems with different energy excitation thresholds. Following recent work by Naidis (2009) we demonstrate that due to strong spatial variations of the electron density and electric field in str...

In high purity n-GaAs at low temperatures impact ionization breakdown occurs at an electric field of a few volts per cm resulting in a rapid increase of the current at a critical electric field strength [1,2]. The transition from the low conducting state, where almost all electrons are bound to shallow donors, to the high conducting state, where almost all donors are ionized, can be considered ...

Natural ester has been widely studied as an alternative dielectric liquid to mineral oil in recent years. Unsaturated triacylglycerol molecules are the main components of natural ester; therefore, in this paper, we investigate the molecular structure and electronic properties of the triolein molecule, an oleic-type triacylglycerol molecule, as a representative component of natural ester oils. T...
