Introduction and Objective The action potential is an impulse of electrical activity. Action potential occurs when a neuron sends messages electrochemically down an axon called a nerve impulse. When a neuron is not stimulated or inactive‚ it is at resting potential. When a neuron is at rest‚ the electrical charge on the inside of the neuron is negative while the electrical charge on the outside of the neuron is positive. The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about -70 mV (mV = millivolts)

Solid dielectric cable has become the national standard for underground electric transmission lines less than 200 kV. There is less maintenance with the solid cable‚ but impending insulation failures are much more difficult to monitor and detect. #7 Near end crossing ‚ a measure of the level of signal coupling within the cable with the high next (dB) value being desirable. Attenuation is the amount loss in the signal strength as it propagate down the Wire. #12 An electrical transmission line

The sprint activity can be influenced by many anatomical‚ physiological‚ and morphological factors. These factors will be explained in this paper to identify the normal and abnormal status which may affect the sprint performance when analyzing the sprinting activity: • Stride length: Optimal sprint stride length can be achieved when the sprint is performed in proper technique. Stride length is defined as the distance covered with each stride and is improved by increasing the amount of force applied

called the sarcomere‚ these are what gives the tissue of a skeletal muscle its appearance. The mechanism within muscle contraction is known as binding and ratcheting this allows the muscle to shorten and contract. If the specific muscle doesn’t need to contract‚ the strands of proteins that are not needed wrap themselves around

Point load test Aim: To determine the strength characteristics of a rock using the point load test and visual judgement. Materials Loading device Loading frame Pump Ram Platens Rock Caliper Method (Standard‚ 2007) 1. Measure the dimensions of the rock which includes the diameter and length 2. Find the length to diameter ratio to determine which test will be used. If the ratio is greater than 1 use diametrical test. But if the ratio is between 0.6 and 1 use axial test 3. The axial
