Study of voltage decrease in organic light emitting diodes during the initial stage of lifetime
2016
Abstract We report the results of lifetime DC testing at constant current of not-encapsulated organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on Tris (8 idroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) as emitting material. In particular, a voltage decrease during the initial stage of the lifetime test is observed. The cause of this behavior is also discussed, mainly linked to initial Joule self-heating of the device, rising its temperature above room temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached at steady state.
Determination of Diffusion Parameters by a Computer Code (FDP) Based on Mathematica 6.0
2010
A computer code named Fitting for Diffusion Parameters (FDP) based on Mathematica 6.0 has been developed for modeling through- and out-diffusion experiments. FDP was used to determine the diffusion coefficients (De ) and the rock capacity factors (α) for tritiated water (HTO) and 22 Na+ and the distribution coefficient (Kd ) of 22 Na+ in Opalinus Clay (OPA). The values for De and α were obtained by fitting the results of experimental data of both transient and steady-state phases to the analytical solution of accumulated activity. The quality of the parameters De and α was tested by using them as input parameters in the equation of flux. Moreover, the diffusion parameters of HTO and 22 Na+ …
Intracellular accumulation of l-Arg, kinetics of transport, and potassium leak conductance in oocytes from Xenopus laevis expressing hCAT-1, hCAT-2A,…
2004
AbstractCationic amino acid transporters play an important role in the intracellular supply of l-Arg and the generation of nitric oxide. Since the transport of l-Arg is voltage-dependent, we aimed at determining the intracellular l-Arg concentration and describing the transport of l-Arg in terms of Michaelis–Menten kinetics, taking into account membrane voltage. The human isoforms of the cationic amino acid transporters, hCAT-1, hCAT-2A, and hCAT-2B, were expressed in oocytes from Xenopus laevis and studied with the voltage clamp technique and in tracer experiments. We found that l-Arg was concentrated intracellularly by all hCAT isoforms and that influx and efflux, in the steady state of e…
Manometrische Regelung kontinuierlicher Gärungen durch das Gärungs-CO2
1972
Using CO2 in manometric control of continuous cultures (Sacch. cer.), the cultures were maintained constant ir intensity of metabolism in respect to CO2-production. The small fermentors (50 ml) are useful for investigations in metabolism under various conditions at a steady state.
Action of tertiary phenylalkylamines on cardiac transient outward current from outside the cell membrane.
1996
The effects of the phenylalkylamines verapamil (V), gallopamil (G), and devapamil (D) and their corresponding quaternary derivatives on the transient outward current (Ito) were examined in rat ventricular cardiomyocytes using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The question was addressed, whether phenylalkylamines act on Ito from the inside or the outside or from both sides of the cell membrane. To this end, the myocytes were either superfused extracellularly or perfused intracellularly with drug-containing solutions. In addition, the effects of verapamil were investigated at different pH-values. V, G, and D (30 microM each), applied extracellularly, reduced the steady state current of It…
γ-ray-induced bleaching in silica: Conversion from optical to paramagnetic defects
2000
We report experimental results on optical and ESR measurements performed in $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-irradiated natural silica samples having different content of OH groups. A partial bleaching of the optical absorption band ${B}_{2\ensuremath{\beta}}$ at 5.15 eV and the related photoluminescence emissions at 3.1 eV and 4.2 eV is observed together with the growth of an ESR doublet split by 11.8 mT. The kinetics of the two processes as a function of the $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ dose are correlated and depend on the OH content. Our experiments indicate the occurrence of a $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray-induced conversion, from optically active centers to paramagnetic ones and vice versa, changing the re…
Can we use time-resolved measurements to get Steady-State Transport data for Halide perovskites?
2018
Time-resolved, pulsed excitation methods are widely used to deduce optoelectronic properties of semiconductors, including now also Halide Perovskites (HaPs), especially transport properties. However, as yet, no evaluation of their amenability and justification for the use of the results for the above-noted purposes has been reported. To check if we can learn from pulsed measurement results about steady-state phototransport properties, we show here that, although pulsed measurements can be useful to extract information on the recombination kinetics of HaPs, great care should be taken. One issue is that no changes in the material are induced during or as a result of the excitation, and anothe…
Pressure-flow dynamics with semi-stable limit cycles in hydraulic cylinder circuits
2021
In hydraulic circuits of the standard fluid-power actuators and mechanisms, like the linear-stroke cylinders, some hydrodynamic effects are often neglected. It happens mainly due to their complexity and secondariness in comparison with the principal transient and steady-state behavior of the hydromechanical process variables, such as the differential pressure and relative displacement and its rate, in other words the piston stroke and velocity. However, a constrained motion of the cylinder piston can give rise to the back coupled excitation of the pressure-flow dynamics, especially upon mechanical impact at the cylinder limits. Following to that, semi-stable limit cycles can arise while the…
Station�re Verteilung der O2-Drucke im Tumorgewebe (DS-Carcinosarkom) I. Messungen in vivo unter Verwendung von Gold-Mikroelektroden
1972
Unter standardisierten Bedingungen wurden in vivo die O2-Drucke \(\left( {P_{{\text{0}}_{\text{2}} } } \right)\) in gewebsisolierten Impftumoren (DS-Carcinosarkom) der Rattenniere sowie zum Vergleich in den Nierenrinden gesunder Ratten gemessen. Fur die polarographische \(P_{{\text{0}}_{\text{2}} } \)-Messung im Gewebe fanden Gold-Mikroelektroden mit einem Spitzendurchmesser von 3–8 μm und einem Durchmesser der Goldkathode von 1 μm Verwendung. Bei kontinuierlichem oder diskontinuierlichem Vorschub der Elektrode wurden die \(P_{{\text{0}}_{\text{2}} } \)-Verteilungen in 9 Tumoren (37 Stichkanale, 3579 Einzelmessungen) und 3 Nierenrinden (14 Stichkanale, 2974 Einzelmessungen) ermittelt.
Kadanoff-Baym approach to quantum transport through interacting nanoscale systems: from the transient to the steady-state regime
2009
We propose a time-dependent many-body approach to study the short-time dynamics of correlated electrons in quantum transport through nanoscale systems contacted to metallic leads. This approach is based on the time-propagation of the Kadanoff-Baym equations for the nonequilibrium many-body Green's function of open and interacting systems out of equilibrium. An important feature of the method is that it takes full account of electronic correlations and embedding effects in the presence of time-dependent external fields, while at the same time satisfying the charge conservation law. The method further extends the Meir-Wingreen formula to the time domain for initially correlated states. We stu…
