Development and Characterization of a Transient Overvoltage Recorder in Distribution Networks
Transient overvoltages in distribution networks can be produced by direct and indirect lightning strikes, due to energization or de-energization of distribution networks, reactive compensation banks, distribut...

Open AccessThe first-order Euler-Lagrange equations and some of their uses
In many nonlinear field theories, relevant solutions may be found by reducing the order of the original Euler-Lagrange equations, e.g., to first order equations (Bogomolnyi equations, self-duality equations, e...

Modulatory Effects of Parallel Fiber and Molecular Layer Interneuron Synaptic Activity on Purkinje Cell Responses to Ascending Segment Input: A Modeling Study
Based on anatomical, physiological, and model-based studies, it has been proposed that synapses associated with the ascending segment of granule cell axons provide the principle excitatory drive on Purkinje ce...

Inhibition of translation by the fungal toxin cyclopiazonic acid
Cyclopiazonic acid is a toxic metabolite of fungal origin that inhibits protein synthesis in intact HeLa cells and eukaryotic cell-free systems. It has been shown that cyclopiazonic acid blocks the GTP- and EF...
