Sensory conflict theories predict that adding simulated viewpoint oscillation to self-motion displays should generate significant and sustained visual-vestibular conflict and reduce the likelihood of illusory self-motion (vection). However, research shows that viewpoint oscillation enhances vection in upright observers. This study examined whether the oscillation advantage for vection depends o...

Neurons within the intact respiratory network produce bursts of action potentials that cause inspiration or expiration. Within inspiratory bursts, activity is synchronized on a shorter timescale to generate clusters of action potentials that occur in a set frequency range and are called synchronous oscillations. We investigated how GABA and glycine modulate synchronous oscillations and respirat...

Oscillation regulates a wide variety of processes ranging from chemotaxis in Dictyostelium through segmentation in vertebrate development to circadian rhythms. Most studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying oscillation have focused on processes requiring a rhythmic change in gene expression, which usually exhibit a periodicity of >10 min. Mechanisms that control oscillation with shorter pe...

In human subjects, the excitability change of the brainstem was investigated over the course of the spindle oscillation. The investigation was carried out by a sequential analysis of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) with reference to one sequence of spindle oscillation. The method was based on the characteristics of BAEPs, i.e. far-field evoked potential. The brainstem revealed two ...

May of the oscillation results for linear impulsive equations were justified by the following scheme. First, the equivalence of the oscillation of the impulsive equation and some specially constructed nonimpulsive equation was established; further, on the base of well-known results for the nonimpulsive case, the oscillation of the impulsive equation was analyzed. In the present paper, we prove ...

Linear time invariant (LTI) systems are widely used for modeling system dynamics in science and engineering problems. Harmonic oscillation of LTI systems are widely used for modeling and analyses of periodic physical phenomenon. This study investigates sufficient conditions to obtain harmonic oscillation for high-order LTI systems. The paper presents a design procedure for controlling harmonic ...

We investigate the extent to which leptonic CP-violation in (3+2) sterile neutrino models leads to different oscillation probabilities for ν̄μ → ν̄e and νμ → νe oscillations at MiniBooNE. We are using a combined analysis of short-baseline (SBL) oscillation results, including the LSND and null SBL results, to which we impose additional constraints from atmospheric oscillation data. We obtain the f...

In the present paper, photoconductive and dielectric dependence oscillation characteristics of a single photorefractive ring resonator have been studied for the case of non-degenerate two-wave mixing in photorefractive materials by employing the plane-wave approximation method. The influence of photoconductivity and dielectric constant of photorefractive materials on frequency of oscillation an...

These notes present a critique of the standard three–flavor neutrino oscillation framwork. The design proposal of the MINOS at Fermilab based on a two mass eigenstate framework may require serious reconsideration if there is strong mixing between all three flavors of neutrinos. For the LSND and KARMEN neutrino oscillation experiments, the amplitude of neutrino oscillation of the “one mass scale...
