In this paper, we experimentally study the dynamics of slow oscillations in Purkinje neurons in vitro, and derive a strong association with a forced parametric oscillator model. We observed the precise rhythmicity of these oscillations in Purkinje neurons, as well as a dynamic tunability of this oscillation using a photoswitchable compound. We found that this slow oscillation can be induced in ...

In this paper we investigate a parametric resonance phenomenon of a Kaluza-Klein mode in a D-dimensional generalized Kaluza-Klein theory. As the origin of the parametric resonance we consider a small oscillation of a scale of the compactification around a today’s value of it. To make our arguments definite and for simplicity we consider two classes of models of the compactification: those by Sd...

Explosive particle production due to parametric resonance is a crucial feature of reheating in in ationary cosmology. Coherent oscillations of the in aton eld act as a periodically varying mass in the evolution equation for matter elds which couple to the in aton. This in turn results in the parametric resonance instability. Thermal and quantum noise will lead to a nonperiodic perturbation in t...

A new statistical method for the estimation of the response latency is proposed. When spontaneous discharge is present, the first spike after the stimulus application may be caused by either the stimulus itself, or it may appear due to the prevailing spontaneous activity. Therefore, an appropriate method to deduce the response latency from the time to the first spike after the stimulus is neede...

Neutrino oscillations in matter can exhibit a specific resonance enhancement – parametric resonance, which is different from the MSW resonance. Oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos inside the earth can undergo parametric enhancement when neutrino trajectories cross the core of the earth. In this paper we review the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations in matter. In particula...

In the resonance model, high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are supposed to be a consequence of nonlinear resonance between modes of oscillations occurring within the innermost parts of an accretion disk. Several models with a prescribed mode–mode interaction were proposed in order to explain the characteristic properties of the resonance in QPO sources. In this paper, we examine ...

Abstract. A brief overview of selected topics in the theory and phenomenology of neutrino oscillations is given. These include: oscillations in vacuum and in matter; phenomenology of 3-flavour neutrino oscillations and effective 2-flavour approximations; CP and T violation in neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter; matter effects on νμ ↔ ντ oscillations; parametric resonance in neutrino ...
