Abstract
We carried out two case studies to investigate the large difference in the number concentrations of ultrafine particles observed in the plumes from the Horne smelter: one in the summer and the other in the winter. Our model predicted that particle number concentrations are in good agreement with obs...

Abstract
We found that the frequency of in vitro cholinergically induced gamma oscillations in the mouse hippocampal CA3 region was increased by the activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) on interneurons. The NMDAR-dependent increase of gamma oscillation frequency was counteracted by the tonic inhibition of t...

Abstract
Human voice originates from the three-dimensional (3D) oscillations of the vocal folds. In previous studies, biomechanical properties of vocal fold tissues have been predicted by optimizing the parameters of simple two-mass-models to fit its dynamics to the high-speed imaging data from the clinic. Ho...

Abstract
Detection and modulation rate discrimination were measured in cochlear-implant users for pulse-trains that were either sinusoidally amplitude modulated or were modulated with half-wave rectified sinusoids, which in acoustic hearing have been used to simulate the response to low-frequency temporal fin...

Abstract
We hypothesize that a single elongation-and-shortening event creates or disposes one sarcomere layer, and the two consecutive elongation-and-shortenings occur complementarily to each other so that the disks return to their original state after each cycle. Our hypothesis predicts that intercalated di...

Abstract
We have already proposed the inverse function delayed (ID) model as a novel neuron model. The ID model has a negative resistance similar to Bonhoeffer-van der Pol (BVP) model and the network has an energy function similar to Hopfield model. The neural network having an energy can converge on a solut...

Abstract
We obtain semi-analytically the first and second order statistical properties: the distributions of the slow process at the transitions and the temporal correlations of successive switching events. We find that the temporal correlations can be used to help distinguish among biophysical mechanisms fo...

Abstract
We propose a method to infer the coupling structure in networks of nonlinear oscillatory systems with multiple time scales. The method of partial phase synchronization allows us to infer the coupling structure for coupled nonlinear oscillators with one well-defined time scale. The case of oscillator...

Abstract
We investigated whether the spike times of individual neurons shift systematically in the gamma cycle as a function of the neuronal activation strength. We found that stronger neuronal activation leads to spikes earlier in the gamma cycle, i.e., we observed gamma-phase shifting. Gamma-phase shifting...

Abstract
We studied the mechanisms of VP neuron rhythmicity in organotypic slice cultures that, unlike acute slices, preserve functional synaptic connections. Comparative analysis of phasic firing of VP neurons in vivo, in acute slices, and in the cultures revealed that, in the latter, the activity was close...

Abstract
We report two Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients with rhythmic pupillary and palpebral oscillation who had a mutation of prion protein codon 200 that resulted in the substitution of lysine for glutamate (Glu/Lys). Alternating dilation and constriction of the pupils combined with elevation and...
