Gap junctions allow direct electrical communication between CNS neurons. From theoretical and modeling studies, it is well known that although gap junctions can act to synchronize network output, they can also give rise to many other dynamic patterns including antiphase and other phase-locked states. The particular network pattern that arises depends on cellular, intrinsic properties that affec...

Double output cavities have been used experimentally to increase the efficiency of high-power klystrons’. We have used particle-in-cell simulations with the 2+1/2 dimensional code MASK to optimize the design of double output cavities for the lasertron and the 50 M W klystron under development at SLAC. We discuss design considerations for double output cavities (e.g., optimum choice of voltages ...

The information systems (IS) literature provides anecdotal as well as empirical evidence for the presence of output interactions amongst IS projects, and their business impact. A number of sophisticated optimization models have been suggested for the consideration of output interactions when selecting IS project portfolios, but usually, the necessary data required for their application in busin...
