BACKGROUND Cortical electrical stimulation (CES) techniques are practical tools in neurorehabilitation that are currently being used to test models of functional recovery after neurologic injury. However, the mechanisms by which CES has therapeutic effects, are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the effects of CES on unit activity of different neuronal elements in ...

We demonstrate the generation of a trapped ion oscillator having large oscillation amplitude $16.9~{\rm \mu m}$. Applying an offset voltage to trap electrode helped achieve displacement center within time scale 5 ns. The fluorescence dynamics were analyzed after estimate amplitude. realized is one order magnitude larger than that achieved in previous work. Thus, this result important step towar...

This study aimed to describe the electromyographic (EMG) activity patterns of the genioglossus (GG) and suprahyoid (SHy) muscles during swallowing. The effects of changes in food texture/consistency and head posture on transport of the swallowed bolus were also investigated. Participants were 10 normal adults. Test foods consisted of a liquid, a syrup, or 4 ml of paste made from 0.5% or 1.0% ag...

Abstract The fracture direction and its intensity are critical properties related to hydrocarbon characterization identification. Both these have an essential role in identifying the of migration, determining sweet spot area, optimizing drilling design. velocity variation with azimuth (VVAz) is a well-known method estimate intensity. This widespread interest because it predicts based on seismic...

Previous research suggests differences in lip movement between deliberate and spontaneous facial expressions. We investigated within participant differences between deliberately posed and spontaneously occurring smiles during a directed facial action task. Using automated facial image analysis, we quantified lip corner movement during periods of visible Zygomaticus major activity. Onset and off...

Optical frequency combs generated by femtosecond fiber lasers typically exhibit significant frequency noise that causes broad optical linewidths, particularly in the comb wings and in the carrier-envelope offset frequency (f(ceo)) signal. We show these broad linewidths are mainly a result of white amplitude noise on the pump diode laser that leads to a breathing-like motion of the comb about a ...

Polynomial cancellation coding (PCC) is a method of mapping data onto the subcarriers of OFDM which results in reduced sensitivity to frequency offset. [1] – [4]. In this paper it is shown that the amplitude statistics for PCC OFDM are different from ordinary OFDM and the statistics are not Gaussian. The results of simulations for OFDM and PCC OFDM are presented. It is shown that the signal sta...

—A novel offset-symbols joint selective mapping (JSLM) scheme is proposed for the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OFDM/OQAM) system. By exploiting the dispersive energy of the prototype filter, the proposed J-SLM scheme multiplies the real and imaginary parts of each data block with diff...
