Methods and Effects of Magnetic Pulses on the Magnetoreception of Birds

The authors examine various hypotheses regarding avian magnetoreception and discuss experimental techniques to investigate potential sensory mechanisms for bird navigation.

Ohm’s Law Also Applies to ESD‑Induced Heat Pulses

Heat flow analysis for semiconductor ESD situations can be approximated to one dimension, and then captured with a generalized Ohm’s Law using a complex impedance. Methods can include time-dependent electrothermal pulses and feedback due to self-heating, with solutions readily carried out on any desktop computer.

Circuit Theory Model of Ringing on a Transmission Line

This article uses a classical circuit-theory model of a series RLC circuit to explain the phenomenon of ringing on a transmission line, or a PCB trace.
