Natural indicators of the electrical polarity of a direct current (DC) source is limited to semiconductor based diodes and transistors. Recently a novel bio-natural indicator of the polarity of a DC source have been reported. Mimosa Pudica or sensitive plant is found to be a natural detector of a DC source polarity, however the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not known. This paper aims ...

The aim of this research is to investigate the effects a direct current (DC) electric field on combustion behavior co-flow propane diffusion flame. flame length and NOx emission were observed measured. enhances process by causing movement ions molecules in flame, resulting change shape heights decrease with an increase applied voltage polarity, more dominant effect be positive DC field. However...

The valve side of the converter in high-voltage direct current is subjected to mixed voltages such as composite AC & DC voltage. In this study, effects homogeneity electric field on breakdown voltage were investigated for different ±DC component amplitudes efficiency factor was calculated using mean and maximum strengths all them. Variation air examined under ratios ±DC. As one result occurs at...

The effects of uniform steady state (DC) extracellular electric fields on neuronal excitability were characterized in rat hippocampal slices using field, intracellular and voltage-sensitive dye recordings. Small electric fields (</40/ mV mm(-1)), applied parallel to the somato-dendritic axis, induced polarization of CA1 pyramidal cells; the relationship between applied field and induced polariz...

The application of an electric field to a flame modifies the characteristics due collective motion charged particles generated within flame. applied mobilises electrons and ions depending on their polarity, leading localised regions space charge with sufficient density either locally amplify or shield field. A fundamental understanding local is essential for both electrically plasma-assisted co...

The mechanism for electric-field-induced segregation of additives, containing a polar group, in a host liquid crystal is proposed. It is shown that the polarity of an applied dc electric field, or the frequency of an ac electric field, strongly influences the segregation of reactive monomers containing an ester group. An explanation of this result is offered based on the association of dissolve...

In the present work, Pulsed Electro Acoustic (PEA) technique was adopted to understand the space charge dynamics in elastomeric material. It is observed that the polarity of the applied DC voltage voltage and its magnitude alters the space charge dynamics in insulation structure. It is also noticed that any addition of compound to the base material/processing technique have characteristic varia...

It is well established that exogenous electric fields can suppress activity obtained in different models of epileptiform discharge such as penicillin and high potassium. In the low-calcium model of epilepsy, spontaneous epileptiform bursting is generated in the absence of synaptic transmission. It has been suggested that ephaptic interactions play a critical role in neuronal synchronization and...

electric motors are the largest consumer of world electric energy, consuming more than twice as much as lighting, the next largest consumer. electric motors account for between 43 and 46% of all global electricity consumption approximately. they give rise to about 6 040 mt of co2 emissions. end‐users approximately spend usd 565 billion per year on electricity [1]. in recent years, increase in e...

We have experimentally studied micrometer-scale domain wall (DW) motion driven by a magnetic field and an electric current in a Co/Pt multilayer strip with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The thermal activation energy for DW motion, along with its scaling with the driving field and current, has been extracted directly from the temperature dependence of the DW velocity. The injection of DC cu...
