BACKGROUND Immediately after damage to the nervous system, a cascade of physical, physiological, and anatomical events lead to the collapse of neuronal function and often death. This progression of injury processes is called "secondary injury." In the spinal cord and brain, this loss in function and anatomy is largely irreversible, except at the earliest stages. We investigated the most ignored...

Y-capacitors are used to reduce electro magnetic interference (EMI) in SMPS. This is a capacitor connected between primary and secondary of the SMPS transformer to bypass EMI currents and thus preventing them to reach mains port. Proper connection points for this capacitor are discussed and experimental results are analyzed to verify their effectiveness.

In this paper, we analyse a buck converter network containing arbitrary, up to mild regularity assumptions, loads. Our analysis begins with the primary controller where propose novel decentralised Lyapunov function for interconnection between currents and bounded integrator. We leverage on result study as cascaded voltages currents. We, in addition, distributed optimal secondary control framewo...

Spasticity is commonly observed after chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) and many other central nervous system disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, stroke). SCI-induced spasticity has been associated with motoneuron hyperexcitability partly due to enhanced activation of intrinsic persistent inward currents (PICs). Disrupted spinal inhibitory mechanisms also have been implicated. Altered inhibitio...

In many text books and papers such as [1]-[5], it is possible to find descriptions about shunt fault calculations and about the influence of the three-phase transformer connection Dyn on the fault currents distribution through distribution transformers. In [6] is described a method for digitally simulating a three-phase power system which is subjected to a fault at one location with blown fuse ...

The hydromagnetic Couette flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid bounded by two infinite parallel non-conducting plates in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field is studied on taking Hall currents into account. The relevant equations are solved analytically. The solution obtained shows that the inclusion of Hall currents gives some interesting results. It is...

submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. in this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.to investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of the L-type calcium channel blockers verapamil and diltiazem on the currents of voltage-gated potassium channel (fKv1.4ΔN), an N-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret Kv1.4 potassium channel. Measurements were made using a two electrode voltage clamp technique with channels expressed stably in Xenopus oocytes. The fKv1.4ΔN currents displayed...
