Direct evidence that scorpion α-toxins (site-3) modulate sodium channel inactivation by hindrance of voltage-sensor movements. [PDF]
The position of the voltage-sensing transmembrane segment, S4, in voltage-gated ion channels as a function of voltage remains incompletely elucidated. Site-3 toxins bind primarily to the extracellular loops connecting transmembrane helical segments S1-S2

Electronic Excitations and Insulator-Metal Transition in Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Organic Field-Effect Transistors [PDF]
We carry out a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study of charge injection in Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) to determine the most likely scenario for metal-insulator transition in this system.

Biogeography-based algorithm for high voltage electrode surface optimization of a single-phase GIS bus terminal [PDF]
A new method applying the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) technique is presented for the optimization of high voltage electrode surfaces. The aim is to obtain the optimization of the electrode shape in order to achieve a uniform field ...

Operating Power Grids with Few Flow Control Buses
Future power grids will offer enhanced controllability due to the increased availability of power flow control units (FACTS). As the installation of control units in the grid is an expensive investment, we are interested in using few controllers to ...

Proportional-integral-plus control applications of state-dependent parameter models [PDF]
This paper considers proportional-integral-plus (PIP) control of non-linear systems defined by state-dependent parameter models, with particular emphasis on three practical demonstrators: a microclimate test chamber, a 1/5th-scale laboratory ...

Generating all graph coverings by permutation voltage assignments
AbstractThis paper introduces the permutation voltage graph construction, which is a generalization of Gross's ordinary voltage graph construction. It is shown that every covering of a given graph arises from some permutation voltage assignment in a symmetric group and that every regular covering (in the topological sense) arises from some ordinary ...

Attack detection design for dc microgrid using eigenvalue assignment approach
DC microgrids (MGs) are complex systems connecting a number of renewable energy sources to different types of loads based on distributed networks. However, the strong reliance on communication networks makes DC MGs vulnerable to intentional cyber-attacks.

Fano Effect in a Few-Electron Quantum Dot
We have studied the Fano effect in a few-electron quantum dot side-coupled to a quantum wire. The conductance of the wire, which shows an ordinal staircase-like quantization without the dot, is modified through the interference (the Fano effect) and the ...
