Methadone blocks several ionic currents with different half‐maximal inhibitory concentrations, including the rapid component of the delayed and inward (I K1) rectifier potassium current, the L‐type ...

Aided by improvements in cryogenic cooling efficiency 1, superconducting electronics could be of use in the development of energy-efficient high-end computing, helping to address the growing power ...

The current-doubler rectifier is a popular alternative for the output stage of a buck-derived power converter, which would otherwise use a conventional center-tapped transformer with secondary-side, ...

Most cathodic protection (CP) rectifiers produced today are extremely reliable. Yet, like any manmade device, failures can and will occur. For CP rectifiers, in some instances, they will continue to ...

With the rapid development of the world’s aerospace technologies, a high-power and high-reliability space high-voltage power supply is significantly required by new generation of applications, ...

T-wave alternans (TWA) reflects every-other-beat alterations in the morphology of the electrocardiogram ST segment or T wave in the setting of a constant heart rate, hence, in the absence of heart ...

Lock-in amplifiers let you measure very small signals that would otherwise get lost in the noise of even the best available amplifiers. Originally analog circuits, lock-in amplifiers have evolved into ...

A three-dimensional finite element numerical modeling for the scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) setup is applied to study the full-wave quantification of the local material properties of samples.

Advances in nonlinear mechanics have enabled the realization of a variety of nontraditional functions in mechanical systems. Intrinsic dissipation typically limits the utility of these effects, with ...

Performance and utility of microfluidic systems are often overshadowed by the difficulties and costs associated with operation and control. As a step toward the development of a more efficient ...
