ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY COMPACT AIR-INSULATED HIGH-VOLTAGE SUBSTATIONS


On the flexible needle insertion into the human liver

Abstract In the present research, the navigation of a flexible needle into the human liver in the context of the robotic-assisted intraoperative treatment of the liver tumors, is reported.Cosserat (micropolar) elasticity is applied to describe the interaction between the needle and the human liver.The theory incorporates the local rotation of Cleav

Quantification of dendritic and axonal growth after injury to the auditory system of the adult cricket Gryllus bimaculatus

Dendrite and axon growth and branching during development are regulated by a complex set of intracellular and external signals.However, the cues that maintain or influence adult neuronal morphology are less well understood.Injury and deafferentation tend to have negative effects on adult nervous systems.An interesting example of injury-induced comp

Effect of Dielectric Distributed Bragg Reflector on Electrical and Optical Properties of GaN-Based Flip-Chip Light-Emitting Diodes

We demonstrated two types of GaN-based flip-chip light-emitting diodes (FCLEDs) with distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) and without DBR to investigate the effect of dielectric TiO2/SiO2 DBR on optical and electrical characteristics of FCLEDs.The reflector consisting of two single TiO2/SiO2 DBR stacks optimized for different central wavelengths demon
