Spontaneous brain activity is characterized by bursts and avalanche-like dynamics, with scale-free features typical of critical behaviour. The stochastic version the celebrated Wilson-Cowan model has been widely studied as a system spiking neurons reproducing non-trivial neural activity, from avalanche dynamics to oscillatory behaviours. However, what extent such phenomena are related presence ...

An example of unipolar induction is a slab of material with (relative) permittivity and (relative) permeability μ that is immersed in a uniform external magnetic field H0 parallel to the plane of the slab, such that if the slab has velocity v perpendicular to H0 but also in the plane of the slab, a nonzero voltage difference V is detected between sliding contacts (fixed in the laboratory) on op...

The fermion mass spectrum is studied in the quenched approximation in the strong coupling vortex phase (VXS) of a globally U(1)L⊗U(1)R symmetric scalar-fermion model in two dimensions. In this phase fermion doublers can be completely removed from the physical spectrum by means of a strong Wilson-Yukawa coupling. The lowest lying fermion spectrum in this phase consists most probably only of a ma...

Integrative Medicine • Vol. 14, No. 3 • June 2015 24 Denis Wilson, MD—Presenters E. Denis Wilson, MD, will address thyroid function and Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome at the 2015 Restorative Medicine Conference in Blaine, Washington, October 1 through 4. Dr Wilson was the first practitioner to use sustained-release T3 thyroid hormone. For 20 years, he has treated more than 5000 patients with T3 ...

In a Wall Street Journal article published on April 5, 2013, E. O. Wilson attempted to make the case that biologists do not really need to learn any mathematics-whenever they run into difficulty with numerical issues, they can find a technician (aka mathematician) to help them out of their difficulty. He formalizes this in Wilsons Principle No. 1: "It is far easier for scientists to acquire nee...

We develop a matrix model for the SO(32) Heterotic string with certain Wilson lines on the lightlike circle. This is done by using appropriate T-dualities. The method works for an infinite number of Wilson lines, but not for all. The matrix model is the theory on the D-string of type I wrapped on a circle with a SO(32) Wilson line on the circle. The radius of the circle depends on the Wilson li...

Stochastic quantization is applied to derivation of the equations for the Wilson loops and generating functionals of the Wilson loops in the N = ∞ limit. These equations are treated both in the coordinate and momentum representations. In the first case the connection of the suggested approach with the problem of random closed contours and supersymmetric quantum mechanics is established, and the...
