Introduction: To prevention the healthy tissues from irreversible damages, monitoring the temperature variation of healthy tissues is critical parameter during thermal therapies. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is considered as a real time imaging modality for monitoring the temperature but researches show that it suffers from low temperature resolution. In this study usi...

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the length dependence and anchor group dependence of the electrical conductance of a series of oligoyne molecular wires in single-molecule junctions with gold contacts. Experimentally, we focus on the synthesis and properties of diaryloligoynes with n = 1, 2, and 4 triple bonds and the anchor dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene (BT). For c...

MALNIC, GERHARD, AND GERHARD GIEBISCH. Some electrical properties of distal tubular epithehm in the tat. Am. J. Physiol. 223(4) : 797-808. 1972.-Transtubular electrical potential differences and effective electrical resistances across the distal tubular wall were measured by microelectrode techniques. Specific membrane resistances we& calculated according to cable analysis. A value in the order...

A marked signature of fear extinction is its vulnerability for relapse. Here, we departed from the standard extinction principle and examined the ability of habituation to reduce conditioned fear reactions and prevent relapse. In a human fear conditioning paradigm, we first established one visual stimulus as a signal for an impending aversive electrical stimulation, while another visual stimulu...

The remote control of the electrical conductance through nanosized junctions at room temperature will play an important role in future nano-electromechanical systems and electronic devices. This can be achieved by exploiting the magnetostriction effects of ferromagnetic materials. Here we report on the electrical conductance of magnetic nanocontacts obtained from wires of the giant magnetostric...

The electrical resistance of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes and the thermal interface resistance of nanotube arrays are investigated as functions of dc bias voltage used during growth. Nanotubes were grown from Fe2O3 nanoparticles supported on Ti/SiO2/Si substrates by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) under dc bias voltages of -200, -100, 0, +100, and +200 V. Electrica...

The anionic conductance across toad (Bufo viridis) skin was studied using the voltage-clamp technique following long-term (more than 10 days) acclimation to NaCl and KCl solutions. The non-specific baseline conductance was approximately 0.6 mS cm(-)(2) and was similar in skins from all acclimation conditions. The voltage-activated Cl(-) conductance (G(Cl)) was maximal in skins from distilled-wa...

Net Cl- absorption in the mouse medullary thick ascending limb of Henle (mTALH) involves a furosemide-sensitive Na+:K+:2 Cl- apical membrane symport mechanism for salt entry into cells, which occurs in parallel with a Ba++-sensitive apical K+ conductance. The present studies, using the in vitro microperfused mouse mTALH, assessed the concentration dependence of blockade of this apical membrane ...

Electrical activity in cells directly exposed to water-soluble radiographic contrast agents was investigated by intracellular recordings from neurons of the abdominal ganglia of Aplysia. Measurements of membrane resting potential, membrane conductance, synaptic and action potential configuration, and spontaneous electrical activity were performed. Test solutions included sodium diatrizoate, meg...
