1. Electrochemical Noise for Detection of Stress Corrosion Cracking of Low Carbon Steel Exposed to Synthetic Soil Solution
In the last years, electrochemical noise (EN) has demonstrate that is capable of detect the initiation of cracks during the slow strain rate tests (SSRT). In this research, EN has been used as a tool to detect stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in low carbon steel (X52) exposed to a synthetic soil solution called NS4 at room temperature with pH of 5, 8 and 10.

2. Estimativa do comportamento de máquinas assíncronas sujeitas a afundamentos de tensão
Os afundamentos de tensão são reduções de curta duração entre o 10% a 90% da magnitude de tensão eficaz. Usualmente, estes afundamentos são associados com falhas no sistema de energia elétrica, mas podem ser causados pela elevada corrente de partida de motores de indução ou energização de transformadores. Apesar de sua curta duração, tais even

3. Contribuição ao estudo de aerogeradores de velocidade e passo variáveis com gerador duplamente alimentado e sistema de controle difuso / Contribution to the study of fuzzy control applied to variable-speed variable-pitch wind generators with double-fed induction generator
The efficient capture of aeolic-energy occurs by means of three blades turbines with adjustable pitch-angle and angular-speed. The pitch-angle adjustment is utilized to limit the aeolic-energy capture when occur very strong winds and, the angular speed adjustment is utilized to maximize the capture of kinetic energy of weak winds. In this mode of operation t

4. Work softening of drawn low carbon steel bars
The work hardening of metals subjected to complex processing paths is different from that in monotonic deformation. Changes in the deformation mode can promote transients in the strain-hardening rate, leading to anomalous softening or hardening of the material. This paper investigates the influence of strain path changes on the tensile behavior of drawn 0.12

5. Ca2+ Regulates Reactive Oxygen Species Production and pH during Mechanosensing in Arabidopsis Roots[C][W]
Mechanical stimulation of plants triggers a cytoplasmic Ca2+ increase that is thought to link the touch stimulus to appropriate growth responses. We found that in roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, external and endogenously generated mechanical forces consistently trigger rapid and transient increases in cytosolic Ca2+ and that the signatures of these Ca2+ trans

6. Mechanical characterization of skeletal muscle myofibrils.
A new instrument, based on a technique described previously, is presented for studying mechanics of micron-scale preparations of two to three myofibrils or single myofibrils from muscle. Forces in the nanonewton to micronewton range are measurable with 0.5-ms time resolution. Programmed quick (200-microseconds) steps or ramp length changes are applied to con

7. Effects of mechanical signaling on plant cell cytosolic calcium.
Mechanical signals are important influences on the development and morphology of higher plants. Using tobacco transformed with the Ca(2+)-sensitive luminescent protein aequorin, we recently reported the effects of mechanical signals of touch and wind on the luminescence and thus intracellular calcium of young seedlings. When mesophyll protoplasts are isolate

8. Reorientation of Seedlings in the Earth's Gravitational Field Induces Cytosolic Calcium Transients1
The gravitational field controls plant growth, morphology, and development. However, the underlying transduction mechanisms are not well understood. Much indirect evidence has implicated the cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]c) as an important factor, but direct evidence for changes in [Ca2+]c is currently lacking. We now have made measurements o

9. Dynamic inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission by astrocyte-derived ATP in hippocampal cultures
Originally ascribed passive roles in the CNS, astrocytes are now known to have an active role in the regulation of synaptic transmission. Neuronal activity can evoke Ca2+ transients in astrocytes, and Ca2+ transients in astrocytes can evoke changes in neuronal activity. The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate has been shown to mediate such bidirectional co

10. Tension transients during the rise of tetanic tension in frog muscle fibres.
Tension transients were recorded from fibres isolated from the tibialis anterior muscle of the frog during the rise of tetanic tension at 0.8-2.5 degrees C. The length of a central segment of the fibre was controlled by feed-back from a spot-follower device. Length steps complete within 0.2 ms were applied at one end of the fibre, and tension changes were re

11. Force generation and work production by covalently cross-linked actin-myosin cross-bridges in rabbit muscle fibers.
To separate a fraction of the myosin cross-bridges that are attached to the thin filaments and that participate in the mechanical responses, muscle fibers were cross-linked with 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide and then immersed in high-salt relaxing solution (HSRS) of 0.6 M ionic strength for detaching the unlinked myosin heads. The mechanical

12. Mechanosensitive Ca2+ transients in endothelial cells from human umbilical vein.
We have investigated the changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in human endothelial cells induced by mechanical stretch due to osmotic cell swelling. Hypotonic solutions also activate a Cl- conductance that has been described elsewhere and mainly serves to clamp the membrane potential at negative values to provide a driving force for Ca2+
