Locomotion of Electrocatalytic Nanomotors due to Reaction Induced Charge Auto-Electrophoresis

Bimetallic rod-shaped nanomotors swim autonomously in hydrogen peroxide solutions. Here we present a scaling analysis, computational simulations, and experimental data that show that the nanomotor locomotion is driven by fluid slip around the nanomotor surface due to electrical body forces. The body forces are generated by a coupling of charge density and electric fields induced by electrochemical reactions occurring on the nanomotor surface. We describe the dependence of nanomotor motion on the nanomotor surface potential and reaction-driven flux.

Niederhauser's model for epilepsy and wavelet methods

Wavelets and wavelet transforms (WT) could be a very useful tool to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. To illustrate the WT method we make use of a simple electric circuit model introduced by Niederhauser, which is used to produce EEG-like signals, particularly during an epileptic seizure. The original model is modified to resemble the 10-20 derivation of the EEG measurements. WT is used to study the main features of these signals
