Recent brain imaging research has revealed oxytocin (OT) effects on an individual's brain activity during social interaction but tells little about whether and how OT modulates the coherence of inter-brain activity related to two individuals' coordination behavior. We developed a new real-time coordination game that required two individuals of a dyad to synchronize with a partner (coordination ...

We consider a model for diffusive phase transitions, for instance, the component separation in a binary mixture. Our model is described by two functions, the absolutete temperature θ := θ(t, x) and the order parameter w := w(t, x), which are governed by a system of two nonlinear parabolic PDEs. The order parameter w is constrained to have double obstacles σ∗ ≤ w ≤ σ∗ (i.e., σ∗ and σ∗ are the th...

We apply the Wang-Landau method to the study of the critical behavior of the three dimensional Random Field Ising Model with a bimodal probability distribution. For high values of the random field intensity we find that the energy probability distribution at the transition temperature is double peaked, suggesting that the phase transition is first order. On the other hand, the transition looks ...

this paper addresses the annealing temperature effect on nanostructure and phase transition of copper oxide thin films, deposited by pvd method on glass substrate (at 110 nm thickness) and post annealed at different temperatures (200-400°c) with a flow of 1 cm3s-1 oxygen. the x-ray diffraction (xrd) was employed for crystallographic and phase analyses, while atomic force microscopy (afm) was us...

Pulsed emission from the bright EGRET pulsars Vela, Crab, and Geminga extends up to < ∼ 10 GeV. The generic gamma lightcurve features two peaks separated by 0.4 to 0.5 in phase. According to Thompson (2001) the lightcurve becomes asymmetrical above ∼ 5 GeV in such a way that the trailing peak dominates over the leading peak. We attempt to interpret this asymmetry within a single-polar-cap scena...

Background: Database systems have been developed to support data storing of large medical trials and survey studies. Anyhow a reliable electronic system is not enough to guarantee data entering feasibility. Purpose: to evaluate if double-blind control of the data manager and phaseby-phase correction of mistakes with educational intent might have any effect on data-feasibility. Secondary outcome...

Cis-polybutadiene was functionalized using in–situ generated DMD as oxidant and tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide as phase transfer catalyst (PTC). The epoxidation process was investigated by 1HNMR spectroscopy. 1HNMR spectrum analysis of products confirms the absence of ring opening side products in epoxidation reaction. Various factors such as reaction temperature, reaction time and the concentr...

In order to reduce the volume and size of distribution power transformer, precise and extended controlling of transformer output, the conventional transformers are replaced by intelligent universal transformers (IUTs). In this paper, an IUT, typical of Iran national grid, with the voltage ratio of 20kV:380 V is designed and simulated. Regarding the IUT implementation, a cascaded H-bridge invert...
