Spiral Meandering

The complex, so called meandering, dynamics of spiral waves in excitable media is examined from the point of view of bifurcation theory. A computational bifurcation analysis is made of spiral dynamics. It is shown that spiral meandering is organized in parameter space around a codimension-two point where a Hopf bifurcation from rotating waves interacts with symmetries on the plane. A simple mod...

The statistical mechanics of meandering

2014 We present a simple mathematical model to describe the statistical properties of the meandering of narrow streams on clean and smooth substrates. The model is shown to contain three different regimes, depending on the flow rate : (i) at low rates, the stream path is a timeindependent random walk ; (ii) for intermediate flow rates, static meanders appear. The onset of meandering is found to...

Chronic Treatment by L-NAME differently Affects Morris Water Maze Tasks in Ovariectomized and Naïve Female Rats

Introduction: The role of ovarian hormones and nitric oxide (NO) in learning and memory and their interaction has been widely investigated. The present study carried out to evaluate different effect of L-NAME on spatial learning and memory of ovariectomized (OVX) and sham operated rats. Methods: 32 rats were divided into 4 groups: 1) Sham 2) OVX 3) Sham-LN and 4) OVX-LN. The animals of groups 3...

Demystifying Wireless Technologies: Navigating Through The Wireless Technology Maze

A significant part of the growth in consumer-to-business electronic commerce is likely to originate from the increasing numbers of mobile computing devices and smart telephone devices. Most of the data from mobile computers will be carried over by emerging wireless networks. Many wireless technologies and standards are now available. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for non-do...
