Identifying harmonic attributes from online partial discharge data [PDF]
, 2011 Partial discharge (PD) monitoring is a key method of tracking fault progression and degradation of insulation systems. Recent research discovered that the harmonic regime experienced by the plant also affects the PD pattern, questioning the conclusions ...

The Astonishing Behavior of Electric Eels
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019 The remarkable physiology of the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) made it one of the first model species in science. It was pivotal for understanding animal electricity in the 1700s, was investigated by Humboldt and Faraday in the 1800s, was ...

Social interactions between live and artificial weakly electric fish: Electrocommunication and locomotor behavior of Mormyrus rume proboscirostris towards a mobile dummy fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Mormyrid weakly electric fish produce short, pulse-type electric organ discharges for actively probing their environment and to communicate with conspecifics.

Waveform generation in the weakly electric fishGymnotus coropinae(Hoedeman): the electric organ and the electric organ discharge [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARYThis article deals with the electric organ and its discharge in Gymnotus coropinae, a representative species of one of the three main clades of the genus. Three regions with bilateral symmetry are described: (1)subopercular (medial and lateral columns of complex shaped electrocytes); (2)abdominal (medial and lateral columns of cuboidal and ...

Male-mediated species recognition among African weakly electric fishes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Effective communication among sympatric species is often instrumental for behavioural isolation, where the failure to successfully discriminate between potential mates could lead to less fit hybrid offspring.

Testing and characterisation of large high-energy lithium-ion batteries for electric and hybrid electric vehicles [PDF]
, 2007 This thesis considers the drivetrain and battery system requirements of Hybrid Electric Vehicles. The data herein proves that a series hybrid electric drivetrain with Lithium-ion batteries and plug-in recharge promises to be viable and sustainable ...

A model for studying the energetics of sustained high frequency firing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Regulating membrane potential and synaptic function contributes significantly to the energetic costs of brain signaling, but the relative costs of action potentials (APs) and synaptic transmission during high-frequency firing are unknown.
