Gamma-band oscillations are a ubiquitous phenomenon in the nervous system and have been implicated in multiple aspects of cognition. In particular, the strength of gamma oscillations at the time a stimulus is encoded predicts its subsequent retrieval, suggesting that gamma may reflect enhanced mnemonic processing. Likewise, activity in the gamma-band can modulate plasticity in vitro. However, i...

The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...

The effect of task duration on odor discrimination in aging was studied. Twenty-seven young male adults and 24 young female adults between 18 and 30 years of age, and 17 older male adults between 45 and 65 years of age completed an odor discrimination task. The odor discrimination task consisted of two parts of 16 trials each in which, from three bottles consisting of two identical and one aber...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate whether social capital could alleviate health inequality against racial discrimination and identify the critical nature of social capital that generates health inequality differences within the social context of South Korea. METHODS Using the data of the 2009 National Survey of Multicultural Families, a nationally representative sample in which 40,430 f...

Dendritic and axonal arbors of many neuronal types exhibit self-avoidance, in which branches repel each other. In some cases, these neurites interact with those of neighboring neurons, a phenomenon called self/non-self discrimination. The functional roles of these processes remain unknown. In this study, we used retinal starburst amacrine cells (SACs), critical components of a direction-selecti...

Thermal neutron flux evaluation using a single crystal diamond detector (SDD) was carried out in the core region of UTR-KINKI reactor where mixed radiation field by thermal and fast neutrons gamma-ray exists. The pulse shape discrimination method to extract pulses with rectangular as well wide pulse-width established exclude induced gamma-rays. SDD, 6LiF converter, is able detect events caused ...

We consider gamma-ray signals of dark matter annihilation in extragalactic halos the case where annihilates from a $p$-wave or $d$-wave state. In these scenarios, are enhanced relative to other targets, such as Galactic Center dwarf spheroidal galaxies, because typical speed is larger halos. perform mock data analysis gamma rays produced by detected Sloan Digital Sky Survey. include model for u...

Triton burnup studies have been performed in fusion experimental devices to evaluate the confinement performance of 3.5 MeV alpha particles. For this purpose, generation rate deuterium-tritium (D-T)-born 14 neutrons has measured using a scintillating fiber detector. The directionality detector provides excellent selectivity for neutrons; however, lack pulse–shape discrimination (PSD) capability...
