✦ Synopsis

Conduction of an impulse in the nonmyelinated nerve fiber is treated quantitatively by considering it as a direct consequence of the coexistence of two structurally distinct regions, resting and active, in the fiber. The profile of the electrical potential change induced in the vicinity of the boundary between the two regions is analyzed by using the cable equations. Simple mathematical formulae relating the conduction velocity to the electrical parameters of the fiber are derived from the symmetry of the potential profile at the boundary. The factors that determine the conduction velocity in the myelinated nerve fiber are reexamined.

## Abstract Previous studies demonstrated age‐ and height‐related slowing of nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and reduction in nerve response amplitude. Unfortunately, many studies examined discontinuous populations, preventing regression analysis. The correlation coefficients of available studies v

## Abstract Depending on the morphology of the material and applied voltage frequency, three kinds of electrical trees can exist in cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation, which are conducting, non‐conducting, and mixed trees with different growth mechanisms. It is suggested that when th
