To elucidate the mechanism of mutual interaction between intracellular chemical rhythms in the Physarum plasmodium, external Ca2+ oscillation was applied to the ionophore-treated plasmodial strand and its response was measured as tension oscillation. (i) Tension oscillation is entrained and phase locked to the externally applied Ca2+ oscillation. (ii) Two kinds of stable phase relationship, in-...

In this paper, we explore general conditions for the oscillation based test of switched-capacitor biquad filter stages. Expressions describing the characteristics of a filter stage put into oscillation are derived and conditions for achieving oscillation by internal transformation of the filter stage are explored. Reconfiguration scheme based on the transformation of the biquad filter stage to ...

The sensitivity of future neutrino oscillation experiments is determined within a frequentist framework by using a statistical procedure based on Monte Carlo simulations. I consider the search for a non-zero value of the mixing angle θ13 at the T2K and Double-Chooz experiments, as well as the discovery of CP violation at the example of the T2HK experiment. The probability that a discovery will ...

In the braneworld scenario, gravity and neutrino oscillation can both be used to detect the presence of an extra dimension. We argue that neutrino oscillation is particularly suitable if the size of the extra dimension is small, in which case the signature for the extra dimension is the disappearance of active neutrino fluxes into the bulk, caused by the destructive interference from the Kaluza...

Pancontinental droughts in North America, or droughts that simultaneously affect a large percentage of the geographically and climatically distinct regions of the continent, present significant on-the-ground management challenges and, as such, are an important target for scientific research. The methodology of paleoclimate-model data comparisons is used herein to provide a more comprehensive un...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

The period of the quasi-biennial oscillation is examined through the use of a harmonic procedure which allows one to examine periods of interest without omission of any data. On the basis of 8, and 5th years, of mean-monthly zonal-wind and temperature data in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, respectively, it is found that: (1) A quasi-biennial oscillation in zonal-wind exists in the tropo...

Visual cortical cells demonstrate both oscillation and synchronization, although the underlying causes and functional significance of these behaviors remain uncertain. We simultaneously recorded single-unit activity with microelectrode arrays in supragranular layers of area 17 of cats paralyzed and anesthetized with propofol and N(2)O. Rate-normalized autocorrelograms of 24 cells reveal burstin...
