variances of ΔF/F across time) and functional connectivity into three levels (high, medium, low), we find that highly active neurons have low functional connections and highly connected neurons are of low activity. This finding holds true when neuronal...
A considerable number of its variants have been designed to boost the performance, including the popular Max–Min ant system (MMAS) [12] and the rank-based ant system (ASrank) [13]. Meanwhile, the convergence proofs of AS and MMAS were presented to explain the rationale behind the ACO ...
To begin to resolve those inconsistencies, first focusing only on NREM sleep, we propose a simple cluster synchronization model to explain the emergence of SWS in healthy people without sleep disorders. We apply the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) analysis to quantify slow wave activity in ...
We first explain what it means for a process Pi to be blocked in its local state ui. This can be expressed by the predicate blockedi, which states that the program counter of process Pi must be equal to ui and that no outgoing transition t from state ui is executable: blockedi(ui...
We propose two possible models to explain why such exclusive relationship between high activity and high functional connectivity is at work in both zebrafish and human brains. The first model pertains to a physical constraint. Given that structural and functional connectivity show considerable correlation...
We explain these below. We begin by optimising the quantum circuit to contain alternating layers of one-qubit and two-qubit gates, and selecting a high-performance set of qubits to use based on an initial test. We then use a technique based on spin-echo30 where every other layer of two-...
Define and describe nonprobability sampling methods. A data set has n=5 pairs of X and Y values. This data has SSx=10, SSy= 40 and SP=10. Compute the Pearson correlation and explain. Provide a rationale as to why the three ...
The remaining gene, POLH, had the lowest expression level on the Affymetrix GeneChip™ and in a number of replicate qRT-PCR assays its measured expression level fell outside our detectable range. The poor signal to noise, combined with a smaller number of measurements, easily explain our ...
Most theories of behavior posit that agents tend to maximize some form of reward or utility. However, animals very often move with curiosity and seem to be motivated in a reward-free manner. Here we abandon the idea of reward maximization and propose tha
pulsations induce high-cycle fatigue cracks in the metal parts surrounding the enclosure, which cause down-time, incurring fees for the manufacturer, and can sometimes lead to catastrophic system failures if a broken part flies through the combustor and collides at high speed with the vanes and ...
