Synchronization has a long history in physics where it refers to the phase locking of identical oscillators. This notion has been applied in biology to such widely varying phenomena as the flashing of fireflies and the binding problem in the brain. The relationship between neural activity and the behaviour of the organism is complex and still poorly understood. There have been attempts to expla...

this paper presents a detailed small-signal and transient analysis of a full bridge pwm dc-dc converter designed for high voltage, high power applications using an average model. the derived model is implemented in a typical system and used to produce the small-signal and transient characteristics of the converter. results obtained in the analysis of the high voltage and high power design examp...

a two-variable integrate and fire model is presented to study the role of transient outward potassium currents in producing temporal aspects of dorsal cochlear nucleus (dcn) pyramidal cells with different profiles namely the chopper, the pauser and the buildup. this conductance based model is a reduced version of km-lif model (meng & rinzel, 2010) which captures qualitative firing features of a...

In this paper, the nonlinear transient vibration of a cylindrical shallow panel under lateral white noise excitation is studied. The panel is in contact with a non aging viscoelastic medium. Since the external load is a time varying random wide band process, deterministic and conventional approaches cannot be used. Instead, the evolution of the probability density function of the response is in...

In the present study, the transient stress distribution caused by a break in the fibers of an adhesive bonding is investigated. Transient stress is a dynamic response of the system to any discontinuity in the fibers from detachment time till their equilibrium state (or steady state). To derive the governing dynamic equilibrium equations shear lag model is used. Here, it is assumed that the tens...
