Neuromodulation is often thought to have a static, gain-setting function in neural circuits. Here we report a counter example: the neuromodulatory effect of a serotonergic neuron is dependent on the interval between its spikes and those of the neuron being modulated. The serotonergic dorsal swim interneurons (DSIs) are members of the escape swim central pattern generator (CPG) in the mollusk Tr...

The effect of feeding frequency and voluntary sodium intake (VSI) on fluid shifts and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) were studied at rest and after exercise in six athletic horses. The horses were fed twice a day (2TD) and six times a day (6TD) for 25 days for each protocol, according to a changeover design. VSI was measured by weighing each horse's salt block daily. Feeding 2TD or 6TD ...

The aim of this study was to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological estimates of the mean vessel diameter (mVD), the vessel density (Density), and the vessel size index (VSI) obtained in the same tumor-bearing animals. Twenty-seven rats bearing intracranial glioma (C6 or RG2) were imaged by MRI. Changes in transverse relaxations (ΔR 2* and R(2)) were induced by the injection ...

Abstract This study presents a comprehensive simulation of digital control applications for grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) system using Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) approach that incorporates Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The is carried out the MATLAB Simulink block set and employs frequency domain controller as algorithm. inputs, which consist voltage current sensor readings, are processed...

The CCC-r chart is developed based on cumulative count of a conforming (CCC) control chart that considers the cumulative number of items inspected until observing r nonconforming ones. Typically, the samples obtained from the process are analyzed through 100% inspection to exploit the CCC-r chart. However, considering the inspection cost and time would limit its implementation. In this paper, w...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training is not well targeted to family members of individuals at highest risk of cardiac arrest. Participants in traditional CPR classes (TRAD) average 31 years of age, while family members of cardiac patients average 55 years. Video self-instruction (VSI) can reach older individuals and others who do not participate in TRAD classes. VSI is a combination of ...

Studies using nonhuman primates have made marked contributions to our understanding of the anatomy and function of the primary somatosensory cortex (SI). Its ventral or inferolateral part (vSI) represents orofacial structures, such as the lips, periodontium, tongue, palate, chewing musculature, etc. This brain region is neurally interconnected with the ventral part of the primary motor cortex t...

We present a new class of low-volume application layer DDoS attack–Very Short Intermittent DDoS (VSI-DDoS). Such attack sends intermittent bursts (tens of milliseconds duration) of legitimate HTTP requests to the target website with the goal of degrading the quality of service (QoS) of the system and damaging the long-term business of the service provider. VSI-DDoS attacks can be especially ste...

In high quality industrial processes, the control chart is design based on cumulative count of conforming (CCC) items is very useful. In this paper, the performance of CCC-r chart with variable sampling intervals (CCC-rVSI chart) in the presence ofinspectionerrors isinvestigated. The efficiency of CCC-rVSI chart is compared with CCC-r chart with fixed sampling interval (CC...
