Dorsal closure (DC) of the Drosophila embryo is a model for the study of wound healing and developmental epithelial fusions, and involves the sealing of a hole in the epidermis through the migration of the epidermal flanks over the tissue occupying the hole, the amnioserosa. During DC, the cells at the edge of the migrating epidermis extend Rac- and Cdc42-dependent actin-based lamellipodia and ...

Fuel cells are new alternative energy resource that has a great promise for distributed generation and electric vehicle application. However, fuel cells have a slow response due to their slow internal electromechanical and thermodynamic response. To optimize the fuel cell system performance, a fuel cell DC-DC converter with an appropriate controller which can regulate the power flow and automat...

The goal of this work is to reduce the DC-link capacitance of a two-stage single-phase inverter so much that the use of film capacitors becomes feasible in both, price and volume. Film capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors could increase lifetime and reliability of the inverter, especially in high-temperature applications like module-integrated micro-inverters. For the capacitance reduc...

We studied the mechanisms underlying CO(2)-dependent DC potential shifts, using epicranial, epidural, epicortical, intraventricular, and intraparenchymal (intraneuronal, intraglial, and field) recordings in ketamine-xylazine-anesthetized cats. DC shifts were elicited by changes in artificial ventilation, causing end-tidal CO(2) variations within a 2-5% range. Hypercapnia was consistently associ...

This paper explained about switching losses in prescribed circuit. Batteries are the primary energystorage devices in ground vehicles. Now-a-days battery fed electric drives are commonly being used for electric vehicles Applications, due to various advantages, such as nearly zero emission, guaranteed load levelling, good transient operation and energy recovery during braking operation. To full ...

As a result of advances in solid-state power electronics, DC power distribution has found a widespread usage due to its advantages. DC/DC converters, which are mainly used for voltage regulation, are fundamental components of DC power distribution systems. This paper presents a peak power controlled DC/DC converter design based on two-layer hierarchical closed loop control strategy for active D...

The integration of micro/nanofluidic devices led to many interesting phenomena and one of the most important and complex phenomenon among them is concentration polarization. In this paper, we report new physical insights in micro/nanofluidic interface devices on the application of ac and dc electric fields. By performing detailed numerical simulations based on the coupled Poisson, Nernst–Planck...

Keywords: Inter-poly dielectric (IPD) ONO Leakage current Bias polarity a b s t r a c t Retention characteristic represents a capability to maintain the storage data and it is related with the reliability of memory device. The retention characteristic is degraded by the leakage of charges from a floating gate to a control gate, and thus the leakage current at low and moderate electric field of ...
