چکیده

The mechanism by which neuronal networks dynamically organize and differentiate during development is a salient issue concerning neurogenesis. This central event reflects a topological order and its metrizability. One important parameter in this process concerns the role of tremor and intrinsic electrical properties of neurons [Llinàs 1988] from a different in the developmental organization of Central Nervous System (CNS), which we now would like to develop more formally. While tremor is usually considered an undesirable parameter in the generation of coordinated movement it is actually essential in efficient motor execution and reflects fundamental intrinsic neuronal electrophysiological oscillation. In addition, we propose, such intrinsic properties contribute to organize the neuronal connectivity that results in the development of internal coordinate reference systems. Thus the degree of coherence in the oscillatory activities of neuron can be interpreted as embodying a metric tensor of non-Euclidean space that produce topological order associated to CNS development.

Calculation of the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of relativistic accretion flows in the Kerr metric.

In this paper, we calculate the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of the relativistic accretion ows in the Kerr metric, overall and without any approximation. We obtain the relations of all components of the relativistic bulk and shear tensor in terms of components of four-velocity and its derivatives, Christoffel symbols and metric components in the BLF. Then, these components are deri...

New Improvement in Interpretation of Gravity Gradient Tensor Data Using Eigenvalues and Invariants: An Application to Blatchford Lake, Northern Canada

Recently, interpretation of causative sources using components of the gravity gradient tensor (GGT) has had a rapid progress. Assuming N as the structural index, components of the gravity vector and gravity gradient tensor have a homogeneity degree of -N and - (N+1), respectively. In this paper, it is shown that the eigenvalues, the first and the second rotational invariants of the GGT (I1 and ...

Dynamical distance as a semi-metric on nuclear conguration space

In this paper, we introduce the concept of dynamical distance on a nuclear conguration space. We partition the nuclear conguration space into disjoint classes. This classification coincides with the classical partitioning of molecular systems via the concept of conjugacy of dynamical systems. It gives a quantitative criterion to distinguish dierent molecular structures.

Assessment of the Log-Euclidean Metric Performance in Diffusion Tensor Image Segmentation

Introduction: Appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) segmentation results. The geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. However, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. The main goal of this ...

RELATIVE INFORMATION FUNCTIONAL OF RELATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

 In this paper by use of mathematical modeling of an observer [14,15] the notion of relative information functional for relative dynamical systemson compact metric spaces is presented. We extract the information function ofan ergodic dynamical system (X,T) from the relative information of T fromthe view point of observer χX, where X denotes the base space of the system.We also generalize the in...
