A ticker-tape machine printed out the Morse code signals received from a massive electrical coherer, while a sparking device fizzed across its electrical gap.
The effective electrical gap is smaller than the reported optical gap, typically due to the presence of disorder and sample imhomogeneities.
The diffusive case is more natural in a neuroscience context as it can be used to model electrical gap-junction coupling (which depends on voltage-differences).
Finally, a model consisting of 'Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors' (CSTR) cascade with multiple injections of atomic oxygen is proposed in order to explain the relationships between the reactor parameters (inlet flow, inlet NO concentration, electrical energy density and electrical gap) and the experimental results (outlet NOx concentration).
The relative simplicity of the nervous system of C. elegans allows a detailed analysis of the network, defined in terms of both electrical (gap junctional) and chemical (synaptic) connections between the neurons (Fig. 1).
4. Neurons exchange information via both chemical and electrical (gap-junction) synapses.
The model envisions the cortex as a continuum in which pools of neurons are linked via chemical and electrical (gap-junction) synapses.
The use of CMR could give the operator immediate feedback of lesion formation during ablation, thus distinguishing between true scar formation and tissue oedema that leads to a temporary electrical gap, with delayed pulmonary vein reconnection [ 37].
Altered MSN MSN interactions may also be of importance, as these neurons receive inputs from other MSNs via both electrical (gap junction) and chemical (synaptic) connections (Wilson and Groves, 1980; Venance et al., 2004), although their importance relative to fast-spiking interneuronal inputs is still debated (Tunstall et al., 2002; Czubayko and Plenz, 2002).
Several density functional approximations that includes pure generalized gradient approximated (GGA) functional, meta-GGA, hybrid and range separated hybrid functionals have been used to evaluate the electrical band gap or transport gap of the studied polymers and compared with that obtained using Hubbard U corrected GGA functional (GGA+U).
