Aging is a multifactorial irreversible process associated with significant decline in muscle mass and neuromuscular functions. One of the most efficient methods to counteract age-related changes in muscle mass and function is physical exercise. An alternative effective intervention to improve muscle structure and performance is electrical stimulation. In the present work we present the positive...

Laboratory measurements on dynamic thermal performance of a thermal bridge at the Division of Building Technology, Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan in Stockholm, are presented in this paper. In order to analyse the measured results, dynamic multi-dimensional modelling that can describe the dynamic behaviour of thermal bridges in a simple and accurate way is required. A network method with a Π-link r...

1. Photoinduced generation of electric current by bacteriorhodopsin, incorporated into the planar phospholipid membrane, has been directly measured with conventional electrometer techniques. 2. Two methods for bacteriorhodopsin incorporation have been developed: (a) formation of planar membrane from a mixture of decane solution of phospholipids and of the fraction of violet fragments of the Hal...

In this paper, we propose a new heterostructure dual material gate junctionless field-effect transistor (H-DMG-JLFET), with negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic. The drain and channel material are silicon and source material is germanium. The gate electrode near the source is larger. A dual gate material technique is used to achieve upward band bending in order to access n-i-p-...

The biological active points (BAP) are known as low resistance spots or good electro-permeable points, have relativelower electric resistance than the surrounding tissues. In this study, a new method for BAP detection using the bio-impedance measurement system based on the adaptive frequency trackingfilter (AFTF) and the transition event detector is presented

There is a simple type of electric network termed a series-parallel connection which occurs frequently in both theoretical and applied electrical engineering. One reason for the importance of series-parallel connection stems from the fact that the joint resistance is easily evaluated by the following two rules due to Ohm: 0 s. Resistance is additive for resistors in series. 0 P. Reciprocal resi...

Electrical heating of the graphite die and punch assembly is a unique feature of the spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The high currents needed to heat the die, despite its low resistance, can produce an electric field across the ceramic specimens that may be enough to induce field assisted sintering. Despite the large number of publications of SPS, the electric field intensity has not been...

We calculate resistance distances between papers in a nearly bipartite citation network of 492 papers and the sources cited by them. We validate that this is a realistic measure of thematic distance if each citation link has an electric resistance equal to the geometric mean of the number of the paper’s references and the citation number of the cited source.

A tactile sensor system, based upon the electric field distortion, is proposed. Tactile sensors, detecting electric resistance or capacitance, have two opposing electrodes in general. Such structure have difficulty to make flexible sensor sheet, which is needed for robotic manipulator or other skin like sensing purpose. In this study, a sensing system with one electrode, embedded in conducting ...
