The locations of most gamma-ray bursts are known only to several degrees. As a consequence, to detect repeated outbursts from gamma-ray burst sources in the largest gamma-ray burst catalogs, one must apply statistical tests for clustering. I show that the two-point correlation function is superior to the nearest neighbor test for detecting repetition whenever the average angle of separation bet...

The advances of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology and rapid growth of Internet traffic have generated a serious mismatch between huge transmission capacity of optical fibers and routing/forwarding capability of electronic routers, which has triggered many research activities on optical switching technologies. Among various switching technologies, optical burst switching (OBS)[1]...

There is currently great interest in determining physical parameters, e.g. fluorescence lifetime, of individual molecules that inform on environmental conditions, whilst avoiding the artefacts of ensemble averaging. Protein interactions, molecular dynamics and sub-species can all be studied. In a burst integrated fluorescence lifetime (BIFL) experiment, identification of fluorescent bursts from...

Electrophysiological signals were recorded from primary cultures of dissociated rat cortical neurons coupled to MicroElectrode Arrays (MEAs). The neuronal discharge patterns may change under varying physiological and pathological conditions. For this reason, we developed a new burst detection method able to identify bursts with peculiar features in different experimental conditions (i.e. sponta...

An all-OPS network architecture displays a very attractive prospect for the future highly flexible optical transport networks. However, due to a variety of technical challenges, there is still a long way to go to accomplish a mature realization of an OPS network that is ready for practical deployments. Optoelectronic packet switching alleviates the implementation difficult to some degree, but a...

Saccade-related burst neurons in the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) of the head-restrained monkey provide a phasic velocity signal to extraocular motoneurons for the generation of rapid eye movements. In the superior colliculus (SC), which directly projects to the PPRF, the motor command for conjugate saccades with the head restrained in a roll position is represented in a refere...

In the event of a black hole (BH) forming stellar collapse, neutrino signal should terminate abruptly at moment BH formation, after phase steady accretion. Since neutrinos are expected to reach Earth hours before electromagnetic signal, combined detection burst through multiple telescopes could allow promptly determine angular location nearby collapse in sky with high precision. this paper, we ...

Introduction Long-lasting experimental muscle pain elicits divergent muscle sympathetic responses, with some individuals exhibiting a persistent increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), and others a decrease. These divergent responses are thought to result from sustained functional changes in specific brain regions that modulate the cardiovascular responses to pain. Aim The aim o...
