We consider a class of inflationary models with small oscillations imprinted on an otherwise smooth inflaton potential. These oscillations are manifest as oscillations in the power spectrum of primordial perturbations, which then give rise to oscillating departures from the standard cosmic microwave background power spectrum. We show that current data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Pro...

RESULTS. Acetylcholine (100 nM to 1 mM) induced a decrease in membrane conductance and a depolarization of membrane potential in the intact lens. The responses were reversed by application of the muscarinic antagonist, atropine (1 /xM to 100 /xM). In the presence of 1 JLLM thapsigargin and 30 JUM cyclopiazonic acid, acetylcholine still induced an electrical response. Long exposures to acetylcho...

Recently there has been a strong interest in cross-frequency coupling, the interaction between neuronal oscillations in different frequency bands. In particular, measures quantifying the coupling between the phase of slow oscillations and the amplitude of fast oscillations have been applied to a wide range of data recorded from animals and humans. Some of the measures applied to detect phase-am...

A state-of-the-art three-dimensional Langevin approach is used to explore the influence of the potential-energy surface on the dynamical evolution of a system along its path to fission. Two macroscopic models have been used to parametrize the energy landscape: the Finite Range Liquid Drop Model (FRLDM) [1] and the Lublin-Strasbourg Drop (LSD) model [2]. The former is commonly used for the descr...
