A novel bilayer cation-exchange membrane—consisting of a thick layer of a pristine perfluorinated membrane MF-4SC (Russian equivalent of Nafion®-117) and a thinner layer (1 μm) of the membrane, on a base of glassy polymer of internal microporosity poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP)—was prepared and characterized. Using the physicochemical characteristics of one-layer membranes MF-4SC and PTMSP in 0.05 M HCl and NaCl solutions, the asymmetric current–voltage curves (CVC) of the bilayer composite were described with good accuracy up to the overlimiting regime, based on the “fine-porous membrane” model. The MF-4SC/PTMSP bilayer composite has a significant asymmetry of CVC that is promising for using it in electromembrane devices, such as membrane detectors, sensors, and diodes.

The present work investigates the effect of the counter ion nature on the noise of the over-limiting current (Iov). Moreover, the electrochemical methods, current voltage curve (I–V) and the chronopotentiometry (V–t) measurements are applied. The over-limiting current is always accompanied by a neat electrical noise. It is a well accepted experimental phenomenon. The study of this noise may contribute to a better understanding of the Iov and the feasibility of electrodialysis operation at this current in terms of energy consumption. The electrical noise depends directly on the counter ion nature. The power spectral density of the membrane's potential fluctuation was obtained via Fourier analysis of the time series recorded during the transport of counter ions (K+ and NH4+). The spectra are evaluated above the limiting current indicating the differences between the K+ and the NH4+. It is found that the cation NH4+ presents a singular behaviour and the noise is minimal.

In this report, we present the characteristics of a Cl- channel found in lens fiber cells. The single channel has a conductance of 17 pS, a linear current-voltage curve, is activated by ATP or strong depolarization and is blocked by verapamil, quinidine, 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 5-nitro-2-(3- phenylpropylamino)benzoate, dideoxyforskolin, and tamoxifen. These properties are similar to those reported for a volume-activated Cl- channel associated with the multidrug resistance (MDR) gene product, P glycoprotein (24). Confirming this connection, we demonstrate that our lens Cl- channel is inhibited by an antibody to P glycoprotein. The data we present here may, therefore, be the first characterization of the single channel activity of the Cl- channel associated with P glycoprotein.

Silicon Device

ABSTRACTA novel device based on a-Si:H p+-i-n−-i-p−-i-n+ structure, showing a hysteresis in its current-voltage curve is reported. A numerical device model allows to investigate in detail the fundamental role of the two lightly doped n− and p− layers, where charge trapping determines the bistable behavior of the device. The ON condition is mantained until the ambipolar charge injection overcomes the fixed charge. The transition OFF-ON starts when, increasing the applied voltage, one of the two lightly doped layers becomes completely depleted. The transition ON-OFF is, instead, mainly dependent on the recombination processes occurring in the central doped layers. Devices with hysteresis around 2 V and tum-on voltage around 12 are presented.

The Mathematical Model

Computational modelling of cardiac cellular electrophysiology has a long history, with many models now available for different species, cell types, and experimental preparations. This success brings with it a challenge: how do we assess and compare the underlying hypotheses and emergent behaviours, in order to choose a model as a suitable basis for a new study, or characterize how a particular model behaves in different scenarios? We have created an online resource for the characterization and comparison of electrophysiological cell models under a wide range of experimental scenarios. The details of the mathematical model (quantitative assumptions and hypotheses formulated as ordinary differential equations) are separated from the experimental protocol being simulated. Each model and protocol is then encoded in computer-readable formats. A simulation tool runs virtual experiments on models, and a website – https://chaste.cs.ox.ac.uk/FunctionalCuration – provides a friendly interface, allowing users to store and compare results. The system currently contains a sample of 36 models and 23 protocols, including current-voltage curve generation, action potential properties under steady pacing at different rates, restitution properties, block of particular channels, and hypo-/hyper-kalaemia. This resource is publicly available, open source, and free; and we invite the community to use it and become involved in future developments. Those interested in comparing competing hypotheses using models can make a more informed decision; those developing new models can upload them for easy evaluation under the existing protocols, and even add their own protocols.

This paper proposes a curve extraction method for I-V curves and analog figures-of-merit of self-cascode MOSFET associations (SC) using a code that exploits I-V curves of single transistors as input. The method was validated by using experimental measurements of fabricated SC and the very single transistors that compose them. The results indicate a very low error between the SC generated by the code and the measured reference for operation in saturation regime and above threshold voltage, for both the I-V curves and their derivatives. This method is then valid for the assessment of the SC structures in new technologies, avoiding experimental dedicated layouts or complex set-ups.
