Many studies have reported long-range synchronization of neuronal activity between brain areas, in particular in the beta and gamma bands with frequencies in the range of 14-30 and 40-80 Hz, respectively. Several studies have reported synchrony with zero phase lag, which is remarkable considering the synaptic and conduction delays inherent in the connections between distant brain areas. This re...

Temporal order judgment (TOJ) between the voluntary motor action and its perceptual feedback is important in distinguishing between a sensory feedback which is caused by observer's own action and other stimulus, which are irrelevant to that action. Prolonged exposure to fixed temporal lag between motor action and visual feedback recalibrates motor-visual temporal relationship, and consequently ...

The mechanism and sensitivity of the lagged response of tropical tropospheric temperature to El Niño– Southern Oscillation (ENSO) SST forcing are examined using the Quasi-Equilibrium Tropical Circulation Model (QTCM) coupled to a slab mixed layer ocean model, along with a simple analytical model. It is found that the lag and amplitude of tropospheric temperature response depend on mixed layer d...

Synchronization properties of two identical mutually coupled Duffing oscillators with parametric modulation in one of them are studied. Intermittent lag synchronization is observed in the vicinity of saddle-node bifurcations where the system changes its dynamical state. This phenomenon is seen as intermittent jumps from phase to lag synchronization, during which the chaotic trajectory visits cl...

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) was incubated with 20 microM of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors captopril, fosinopril and quinapril or ethanol. Oxidation of LDL was initiated by addition of CuSO4 and monitored for production of conjugated dienes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and lipid peroxides. The inhibition of production of conjugated dienes was expressed ...

When grown on glucose and beta-glucosides, S. pneumoniae shows sequential use of sugars resulting in diauxic growth with variable time extent of the lag phase separating the biphasic growth curve. The pneumococcal beta-glucoside uptake locus containing the PTS transporter spr0276-82, is regulated by a multi-domain transcriptional regulator CelR. In this work, we address the contribution of phos...

Mass-spring models are essential for the description of sloshing resonances in engineering. By experimentally measuring liquid's centre mass a horizontally oscillated rectangular tank, we show that low-amplitude obeys Duffing equation. A bending response curve analogy to softening spring is observed, with growing hysteresis as driving amplitude increases. At large amplitudes, complex wave patte...

The primary goal of this paper is to create a new fractional boundary element method (BEM) model for bio-thermomechanical problems in functionally graded anisotropic (FGA) nonlinear viscoelastic soft tissues. governing equations are briefly presented, including the dual-phase-lag (DPL) bioheat and Biot’s model. more complex shapes tissues can be handled by method, which also avoids need interio...
