ACOUSTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE FUEL CELLS

Acoustical Characteristics of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

In order to optimise the performance of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) and Glucosamine MSM to maximise their life cycle, water content has to be properly controlled.This paper presents a model-based method to determine the effect of load on PEMFC water content in PEMFCs using Acoustic Emission (AE) measurements.The developed model was

Rat Merkel cells are mechanoreceptors and osmoreceptors.

Merkel cells (MCs) associated with nerve terminals constitute MC-neurite complexes, which are involved in slowly-adapting type I mechanoreception.Although MCs are known to express voltage-gated Ca2+ channels and hypotonic-induced membrane deformation is known to lead to Ca2+ transients, whether MCs initiate mechanotransduction is currently unknown.
