Using video refraction accommodative and convergence dynamic responses were measured to stepped changes in convergence stimuli with unchanged accommodative stimuli (conflicting stereoscopic image) and compared with responses to nonconflicting target stimuli. Three targets were used that varied in their spatial frequency components. An accommodative transient overshoot was evident in 4 out of 7 ...

Power system inter-area oscillations curtail the power transferring capabilities of transmission lines in a large interconnected system. Accurate identification dominant modes and associated contributing generators is important to avoid failures by taking appropriate remedial measures. This paper proposes multi-channel Improved Dynamic Mode Decomposition (IDMD) algorithm-based modal analysis te...

It has been suggested that synchronization of neural activity in distinct areas of the brain is important in the 'perceptual binding' of the various features relating to a specific object. A recent study has provided new evidence that inter-area synchronization is important in multisensory integration.

Moore’s Law is a commonly accepted empirical relation that predicts the operating speed of an integrated circuits will double every 18 months. However, as the operating speed and functionality increases, the need to move data onto and off of the processor is increasing at a comparable rate, which is quantified using another empirical relation known as Rent’s Rule. Unfortunately, Rent’s rule sta...

Railway dispatchers reschedule trains in real-time in order to limit the propagation of disturbances and to regulate traffic in their respective dispatching areas by minimizing the deviation from the off-line timetable. However, the decisions taken in one area may influence the quality and even the feasibility of train schedules in the other areas. Regional control centers coordinate the dispat...

The reversible transition between the on and off states of threshold switches under a constant pulse generates voltage oscillation, which can be exploited for compact neuron element in neuromorphic systems. Because voltages play an important role oscillation behavior, area thickness scaling analysis NbO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlin...

The Asian monsoon is the most significant component of the global climate system. During recent two decades, concerned efforts have been made to investigate the Asian monsoon. A substantial achievement has been made in basic physical processes, predictability and prediction since the MONEX of 1978-79. The major advance in our understanding about of the variability of the Asian summer monsoon ha...
