To determine whether subjects with somatosensory loss show a compensatory increase in sensitivity to vestibular stimulation, we compared the amplitude of postural lean in response to four different intensities of bipolar galvanic stimulation in subjects with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PNP) and age-matched control subjects. To determine whether healthy and neuropathic subjects show similar ...

The present work systematically investigated the initiation mechanism of localized corrosion induced by Al2O3-MnS composite inclusion in E690 steel under a simulated marine environment. results showed that micro-gap exists between and matrix, electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis revealed significant lattice dislocation zones around inclusion. presence both promoted initiation. Vol...

This article provides a progress report on the use of galvanic replacement for generating complex hollow nanostructures with tunable and well-controlled properties. We begin with a brief account of the mechanistic understanding of galvanic replacement, specifically focused on its ability to engineer the properties of metal nanostructures in terms of size, composition, structure, shape, and morp...

In this dataset, we analyzed galvanic-evoked head movements (GEHMs) in the spatial planes of yaw, and roll in normal and unilaterally labyrinthectomized (UL) Wistar rats. The rats were assigned in 4 groups of 10: control, sham, right-UL and left-UL. Bilateral galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) was presented by our "ring-shaped electrode" design (see "Short-term galvanic vestibular stimulatio...

The purpose of this study was to determine the galvanic interaction between pure titanium, a CoCrMo alloy, as well as their galvanic interaction with a high copper and a conventional amalgam at different area ratios. Pure titanium, a CoCrMo alloy and two dental amalgams with different copper compositions were tested in this study in 0.9% NaCl environment of pH 7. Polarization curves were record...

1. Pelagia noctiluca responds to galvanic stimulation by a luminescent glow at the anode. If placed near the cathode a secondary glow occurs also on the cathodal side. 2. The luminescent slime of Pelagia when subjected to the galvanic current glows around the cathode. This is referred partly to the movement of hydrogen bubbles, but in the main to the alkali formed at the cathode. 3. The cause o...
