Using the voltage-multiplying circuits of chemolitho-autotrophic Fe-oxidizing bacteria (Mariprofundus ferrooxydans), we describe an integrated bioelectrochemical system that affords simultaneous CO2 reduction and H2O oxidation at an external voltage of less than 1.24 V.

In the VLSI industry, ability to anticipate variability tolerance is essential understanding circuits’ potential future performance. The cadence virtuoso tool used in this study assess how PVT fluctuations affect various fin-shaped field effect transistor (FinFET) circuits. research, high-performance FinFET-based circuits at 7 nm are discussed with a variation temperature and voltage. idea behi...

Changes in consumption and changes the structure of system always occur each power system. One effects these can be instability voltage. When voltage is unstable, their performance conditions fluctuations after large errors occur. Determining stability traditional methods time consuming does not have necessary efficiency for instantaneous monitoring. In this paper, an index based on two indices...

in this paper, a new cascaded multilevel inverter by capability of increasing the number of output voltage levels with reduced number of power switches is proposed. the proposed topology consists of series connection of a number of proposed basic multilevel units. in order to generate all voltage levels at the output, five different algorithms are proposed to determine the magnitude of dc volta...

A three-dimensional model for calculating long term exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields from high-voltage overhead power lines is presented, as well as its validation by measurements. For the validation, the model was applied to two different high-voltage overhead power lines in Iffwil and Wiler (Switzerland). In order to capture the daily and seasonal variations, each measureme...

In this investigation, a novel approach is presented to nd the optimum locations and capacity of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in a power system using a fuzzy multi-objective function. Maximising the fuzzy satisfaction allows the optimization algorithm to simultaneously consider the multiple objectives of the network to obtain active power loss reduction; i.e., new FACTS devi...

Metal reduction assays are traditionally used to select and characterize electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) for use in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). However, correlating the ability of a microbe to generate current from an MFC to the reduction of metal oxides has not been definitively established in the literature. As these metal reduction assays may not be generally reliable, here we descr...

Hardware implementation of artificial neuron networks (ANN) based on MOS-transistors with floating gates (Neuron MOS or νMOS) is discussed. Comparison of two type on-chip learning neurons with digital and analog input weight storing is provided. The main problem in design the neuron with analog input weight memory is tolerance to deviations of circuit elements parameters and supplied voltage de...
