Based on a large scale spiking neuron model of the input layers 4Cα and β of macaque, we identify neural mechanisms for the observed contrast dependent receptive field size of V1 cells. We observe a rich variety of mechanisms for the phenomenon and analyze them based on the relative gain of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs. We observe an average growth in the spatial extent of excitati...

introduction: it is an unfamiliar, frightening and stressful experience for the parents of a child who is undergoing bone marrow transplantation. it is impossible to propose an effective caring method without considering all dimensions related to such experience. objective: the purpose of this study was to describe and understand the lived experiences of parents whose children were undergoing b...

2014 A transfer-matrix method is used to calculate the correlation length for strips of finite width in the bond and site percolation problem. From the knowledge of these correlation lengths we compute the thresholds and the critical exponent 03BD by the phenomenological renormalization method.

This article contributes to the debate about phenomenology as a research approach in nursing by providing a systematic review of what nurse researchers hold as phenomenology in published empirical studies. Based on the assumption that presentations of phenomenological approaches in peer-reviewed journals have consequences for the quality of future research, the aim was to analyze articles prese...

We propose a method to calculate the QCD level density directly from the thermodynamic quantities obtained by lattice QCD simulations with the use of the maximum entropy method (MEM). Understanding QCD thermodynamics from QCD spectral properties has its own importance. Also it has a close connection to phenomenological analyses of the lattice data as well as experimental data on the basis of ha...

We cast the q-rotor in the framework of Barnett-Pegg theory for rotation angle, whose underlying algebra is SUq(2). A new method to fix the deformation parameter from the theory is suggested. We test our ideas by fitting rotational spectra in deformed even-even and superdeformed nuclei. The results are in good agreement with the previous phenomenological applications of q-rotor model.

We discuss a recent computation of Compton scattering on the deuteron at photon energies of order the pion mass. An interaction kernel is computed in baryon chiral perturbation theory and sewn to phenomenological deuteron wave functions. As an appetizer, we consider a computation of the pion-deuteron scattering length using this method.
