In our previous studies, we showed that the both realistic and analytical computational models of neural dynamics can display multiple sustained states (attractors) for the same values of model parameters. Some of these states can represent normal activity while other, of oscillatory nature, may represent epileptic types of activity. We also showed that a simplified, analytical model can mimic ...

Synfire chains are diverging/converging chains of neurons discharging synchronously to sustain the propagation of the information through a feed-forward neural network[1]. The observation of recurring spatiotemporal patterns of activity in multi-site single unit recordings[2] has been considered an indirect evidence of the existence of synfire chains. However, the detailed connectivity pattern ...

Efficiency analysis is commonly used to assess and compare the productivity of similar decision-making units (DMUs). In this research, we broaden the applicability of efficiency analysis to situations where each DMU comprises interconnected sub-DMUs (e.g., departments). Extant research espouses that embracing the connectedness between subDMUs (e.g., marketing–sales interface, marketing–R&D inte...

As a solution for optimized, reliable and flexible operation of distribution systems, multiple AC microgrids can be interconnected. In this paper, low-order low-frequency small-signal model is proposed large-scale interconnected in order to analyze stability dynamics as well synthesize high-level controllers, e.g. inter-microgrid power flow controller. A sensitivity analysis-based technique int...

The paper describes how resource assignment is performed in a compiler for transport triggered architectures, and in particular, how busses are assigned to data transports. This becomes an important issue when function units and register files are only partially interconnected via an irregular network of busses. Reducing this connectivity is important for processors exploiting instruction level...

Mikanin-3-O-sulfate (1), in the form of its potassium salt, together with mikanin (2) and alpinetin (3) were isolated from Mikania micrantha. The crystal structures of K(1) x CH3OH, 2 and 3 x H2O were established by X-ray crystallography. The potassium ions in K(1) x CHO3H are bridged by O5, O7 and O8 to form a chain of face-sharing KO8 coordination polyhedra, from which the aglycon units are o...

An always increasing number of electronic control units monitor and operate drive-train and other safety related functions in automotive applications. Transferring this kind of functionalities like steering or breaking to these devices requires high dependability and reliability during every possible operation scenario. Therefore developing and certifying safety related electronic components to...
