Detecting the excess of spike synchrony and testing its significance can not be done analytically for many types of spike trains and relies on adequate surrogate methods. The main challenge for these methods is to conserve certain features of the spike trains, the two most important being the firing rate and the inter-spike interval statistics. In this study we make use of operational time to i...

We define an structural operational semantics of the core of an imperative language. It has a measure in the transitions corresponding to the number of steps of evaluation that takes place in the transition (from the point of view of usual complexity theory) and transitivity rules that allow to prove in the theory what is usually proved in the meta-theory.

Addressing microsystem problems from the frontline holds promise for quality enhancement. Frontline providers are urged to apply quality improvement; yet no systematic approach to problem detection has been tested. This study investigated a self-report approach to detecting operational failures encountered during patient care. Methods. Data were collected from 5 medical-surgical units over 4 we...

in this paper rationalized haar (rh) functions method is applied to approximate the numerical solution of the fractional volterra integro-differential equations (fvides). the fractional derivatives are described in caputo sense. the properties of rh functions are presented, and the operational matrix of the fractional integration together with the product operational matrix are used to reduce t...

In this brief, we provide three operational boundaries in closed analytical form for a Constant ON-Time buck converter working continuous current mode. Two of these are related to the sudden appearance pulse-bursting induced by either (i) hysteresis comparator that drives input block implementing circuit control algorithm ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="htt...

In this paper, we study the effectiveness of incentives on delivery service time slot choices. particular, focus use green labels that specify slots as environmentally friendly and intrinsically motivate customers to choose a specific in lieu price based extrinsic motivation. We argue is important since labels' intrinsic nature affects customer choice fundamentally different ways than incentive...

Concepts of space and time are widely developed in physics. However, there is a considerable lack of biologically plausible theoretical frameworks that can demonstrate how space and time dimensions are implemented in the activity of the most complex life-system - the brain with a mind. Brain activity is organized both temporally and spatially, thus representing space-time in the brain. Critical...
