s This paper presents a framework for transients classification using wavelet transform and two specific artificial neural networks, propabilistic neural networks (PNN) and resource allocating neural networks (RAN). One significant feature of wavelet for transients characterization is its timescale two dimensional but compact representation. One distinguishing feature of PNN and RAN is the abil...

Sinusoidal modeling has enjoyed a rich history in both speech and music applications, including sound transformations, compression, denoising, and auditory scene analysis. For such applications, the underlying signal model must efficiently capture salient audio features (Goodwin 1998). In this article, we present an accurate, efficient, and flexible three-part model for audio signals consisting...

Transformer inrush currents are highmagnitude, harmonic-rich currents generated when transformer cores are driven into saturation during energization. These currents have undesirable effects, including potential damage or loss-of-life to the transformer, protective relay misoperation, and reduced power quality on the system. Controlled transformer switching can potentially eliminate these trans...

In this paper, we propose a method for eÆcient representation of transients in audio signals. We estimate the transient component of an original audio signal and modify the locations of the transients in such a way that the transients can occur only at locations de ned by a relatively coarse time grid. This procedure allows an eÆcient representation of transients with damped sinusoids. We also ...

Disruption of stabilizatio...

Transient, elevated concentrations of extracellular dopamine were characterized in the dorsal and ventral striatum of male rats during solitude, brief interaction with a conspecific, and copulation. Conspecific rats were systematically presented to male rats and allowed to interact for 30 sec; the males were kept in solitude between each presentation. During these episodes, 125 dopamine concent...

The main strength of the hypotheses, advanced in this article, that schizophrenia involves (a) increased spontaneous transients, which relate to positive symptoms, and (b) decreased adaptive transients, which relate to negative symptoms, is the extensive set of findings that they explain (see Figs. 4–5 in the article). Directly and more definitively testing these hypotheses would ideally involv...

UNLABELLED In superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons calcium-induced calcium release (CICR), mediated by ryanodine receptors (RyRs), contributes to stimulation-evoked intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) transients. HYPOTHESIS The contribution of CICR to electrical field stimulation (EFS)-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) transients in SCG cells declines with senescence and may be partially recovered in th...

Extracellular application of glutamate elicited cytoplasmic Ca2+ transients in freshly dissociated rat neurones of the dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN) (identified as pyramidal cells) with half-maximal concentration of 513 micromol/l while saturating doses (5 mmol/l) of this neurotransmitter caused transients of 46.1 +/- 3.0 nmol/l on an average. The genesis of these glutamate-evoked Ca2+ transien...

To study the representation of olfactory information in higher brain centers, we expressed a green fluorescent protein-based Ca2+ sensor, G-CaMP, in the Drosophila mushroom body (MB). Using two-photon microscopy, we imaged odor-evoked G-CaMP fluorescence transients in MB neurons [Kenyon cells (KCs)] with single-cell resolution. Odors produced large fluorescence transients in a subset of KC soma...
