Nodal pricing in a coupled electricity market [PDF]

11th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM14), 2014
This paper investigates a pricing model for an electricity market with a hybrid congestion management method, i.e. part of the system applies a nodal pricing scheme and the rest applies a zonal pricing scheme. The model clears the zonal and nodal pricing areas simultaneously.

Effect of temperature on spiking patterns of neocortical layer 2/3 and layer 6 pyramidal neurons

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2012
The spiking patterns of neocortical pyramidal neurons are shaped by the conductances in their apical dendrites. We have previously shown that the spiking patterns of layer 5 pyramidal neurons change with temperature, probably because temperature ...

Synaptic Integration in Electrically Coupled Neurons [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2004
Interactions among chemical and electrical synapses regulate the patterns of electrical activity of vertebrate and invertebrate neurons. In this investigation we studied how electrical coupling influences the integration of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs).

Multilevel synchronization of human β-cells networks

Frontiers in Network Physiology, 2023
β-cells within the endocrine pancreas are fundamental for glucose, lipid and protein homeostasis. Gap junctions between cells constitute the primary coupling mechanism through which cells synchronize their electrical and metabolic activities.

A hybrid double-dot in silicon

, 2011
We report electrical measurements of a single arsenic dopant atom in the tunnel-barrier of a silicon SET. As well as performing electrical characterization of the individual dopant, we study series electrical transport through the dopant and SET.

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for
