Monitoring disruptions to water distribution dynamics are essential detect leakages, signal fraudlent and deviant consumptions, amongst other events of interest. State-of-the-art methods anomalous behavior from flowarate pressure show limited degrees success as they generally neglect the simultaneously rich spatial temporal content signals produced by multiple sensors placed at different locati...

We study the effects of sinusoidally modulating the current injected into a model sensory neuron from the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus. This neuron's behavior is known to switch from quiescence to periodic firing to bursting as the injected current is increased. The bifurcation separating periodic from bursting behavior is a saddle-node bifurcation of periodic orbits, and it h...

We present an overview of BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras observations of the nine most frequent type I X-ray bursters in the Galactic center region. Six years of observations (from 1996 to 2002) have amounted to 7 Ms of Galactic center observations and the detection of 1823 bursts. The 3 most frequent bursters are GX354−0 (423 bursts), KS 1731−260 (339) and GS 1826−24 (260). These numbers reflect ...

Stellar mass compact objects in short period (P . 10 s) orbits about a 10–10M⊙ massive black hole (MBH) are thought to be a significant continuous-wave source of gravitational radiation for the ESA/NASA Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave detector. These extreme mass-ratio inspiral sources began in long-period, nearly parabolic orbits that have multiple close encounters...

We calculate the photon energy dependence of the pulsed amplitude of neutron star (NS) surface modes. Simple approximations demonstrate that it depends most strongly on the bursting NS surface temperature. This result compares well with full integrations that include Doppler shifts from rotation and general relativistic corrections to photon propagation. We show that the energy dependence of ty...

Results of three experiments related to the role of the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) in the control of gaze are described. (1) Chronic unit recording methods, used to study the on-directions of short-lead burst neurons in head-restrained monkeys, and (2) reversible inactivation techniques confirmed the traditional view of the importance of PPRF in the control of horizontal eye ...

The serotonin (5-HT)-induced synaptic plasticity of Aplysia sensorimotor synapses has typically been probed by firing a single presynaptic spike. In the present study, 5-HT-induced synaptic plasticity was probed with brief bursts of spikes (10 Hz, 1 sec), which are more behaviorally relevant stimuli. Because such bursts provide a greater challenge to the release machinery than single spikes, th...

Ultrasonic imaging and tissue characterization is a noninvasive technique widely used in medicine for many years to assess body conditions. However, the expertise required to operate the equipment and interpret the results is not always available. The medical ultrasonography project is developing a system concept for a remotely steerable, multibeam ultrasonic scanner that can be operated by ski...

Differentiated Services (Diffserv) which was proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is a scalable and robust model for providing the end-to-end QoS. In the Diffserv networks, metering mechanisms are used to measure traffic stream. The single rate Three Color Meter (srTCM) [1],which was proposed by IETF,‏ meters an IP packet stream and marks its packets either green, yellow, or red....
