Local supra-linear summation of excitatory inputs occurring in pyramidal cell dendrites, the so-called dendritic spikes, results in independent spiking dendritic sub-units, which turn pyramidal neurons into two-layer neural networks capable of computing linearly non-separable functions, such as the exclusive OR. Other neuron classes, such as interneurons, may possess only a few independent dend...

Infrared laser systems are vital for applications in spectroscopy, communications, and biomedical devices, where infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals required broadband frequency down-conversion. Such need to have high non-resonant NLO coefficients, a large bandgap, low absorption coefficient, phase-matchability among other competing demands, e.g., larger bandgap leads smaller coefficients...

Abstract The SESAR2020 exploratory research (ER4) programme CREATE (Grant 890898) developed a climate and weather aware Concept of Operations (ConOps) which encompasses multi-aircraft 4D trajectory optimisation framework, utilises CO 2 non-CO balanced Environmental Scores Module (ESM) for the en-route flight phase. ESM provides computational method to evaluate “greenness” aircraft trajectories....

The article presents the results of studying impact response ceramic-metal composites ZrO 2 /Ti and /Al with non-rigid fixing layers. It is shown that, as energy dissipates from layer to layer, there takes place an increase in dispersion structure metal foils ceramic plates. have a higher strength, while strength layered differs monolithic ceramics only scarcely. was regardless distance between...

The problem of accurate determination of the position, orientation and width of involute spur gear teeth using a single front-lit image is addressed. The information is used to compute global measures of tooth concentricity and pitch variations across a gear wheel. The approach is based on the use of specialised filters which make maximum use of the grey level information available in the image...
