Enhancing sleep slow waves with natural stimuli
During wakefulness, neural circuits in the brain undergo plastic changes, mainly in terms of modifications in the strength (or number) of synapses, which underlie learning and memory. The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis suggests that learning-related plastic changes result in a net increase in synaptic strength by the end of a waking day. However, stronger synapses need more energy, space, and ...
متن کاملFast Compressional Alfven Waves in a Tokamak
Enhancement of cyclotron damping is theoretically evaluated based upon the wave E-field polarization which is modified by the two-ion hybrid resonance. The degree of enhancement and its asymmetry about the plasma center is consistent with experimental observations. The enhancement factor is very large at low plasma densities at which most of the past damping strength measurements have been repo...
متن کاملCompressional waves guided between parallel fractures
We have performed experiments on the laboratory scale to image seismic wavefronts of compressional waves that are guided between parallel fractures. The wavefronts are detected using water-coupled 1MHz piezoelectric transducers. The stiffness of the fractures is controlled by applying radial stress in a hydraulic stress apparatus that leaves the observation face of the fractured sample open to ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Dynamic Permeability on Velocity and Intrinsic Attenuation of Compressional Waves in Sand
Stress waves contain useful information about the properties of porous materials; they can be recovered through different non-destructive testing methods such as crosswell, vertical seismic profile, borehole logging as well as sonic tests. In all these methods, it is crucial to assess the effects of frequency on wave attributes including velocity and intrinsic attenuation. The dependency of per...
متن کاملObservation of compressional Alfvén eigenmodes (CAE) in a conventional tokamak
Fast-ion instabilities with frequencies somewhat below the ion cyclotron frequency occur frequently in spherical tokamaks such as the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). NSTX and the DIII-D tokamak are nearly ideal for fast-ion similarity experiments, having similar neutral beams, fast-ion to Alfvén speed vf /vA, fast-ion pressure, and shape of the plasma but with a factor of two differ...
