The article is devoted to the development of a method measuring partial capacitances between electrically conductive structural elements capacitive tested object with three electrodes. developed involves applying resistive-capacitive grounding investigated insulation layer subsequent gradual adjustment value auxiliary resistor, through which grounded, at phase shift voltage on and capacity will...

In this paper we propose an efficient approach to design fractional-order elements’ (FOEs) series, while using a very limited set of “seed” FOEs. The proposed follows the idea general immittance inverter/converter, whereas suitable circuit solution employing operational transconductance amplifiers is also presented and can be used for grounded FOEs with fractional order $$\alpha $$ being in ran...

In order to more effectively design the structure of vehicle ISD (Inerter Spring Damper) suspension system using inerter, this paper proposed a method fractional-order electrical network mechatronic inerter for components, according characteristics that external can simulate corresponding mechanical equivalently. First, 1/4 dynamic model is constructed. The improved Oustaloup filtering algorith...

OBJECTIVE To outline the audiological findings of aphasic patients after cerebrovascular accidents. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study performed between March 2011 and August 2012 in the Speech, Language, and Hearing Pathology Department of the Universidade Federal de São Paulo. A total of 43 aphasic subjects (27 men) were referred for audiological evaluation after stroke, with mean age ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate cochlear involvement in child patients with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) disease. METHODS Twenty-eight CCHF disease patients (56 ears) and 26 sex- and age-matched healthy control subjects (52 ears) were included in the study. Pure-tone audiometry at frequencies 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 kHz, immittance measures including tympanometr...

Electrode effects on impedance spectra of cement pastes were investigated by two-, three-, and four-point measurements without a potentiostat over the frequency range 0,01 Hz–10 MHz. Electrode immittance effects arising from highly resistive/capacitive contacts cannot be fully corrected by nulling procedures, Two-point~measurements are much more susceptible to such effects than threeor four-poi...
