Neutrino oscillations occur only if it is impossible to determine $u$ mass by using conservation laws on measurements of nucleon-lepton system absorbing $u$. Interactions needed to keep absorbing nucleon within detector prevent determination of $u$ mass. Localizing the nucleon in the laboratory syste...
These slow-wave complexes alternate with brief episodes of fast oscillations, similar to the sustained fast oscillations that occur during the wake state. We propose that alternating fast and slow waves consolidate information acquired previously during wakefulness. Slow-wave sleep would thus begin with...
Some studies suggest that lucid dreaming is caused by an increase in gamma oscillations, which are neural firing patterns that have been linked to dreaming and creativity. Gamma oscillations occur when the prefrontal cortex and the thalamus are in sync with each other, which is why some ...
Why do surface waves break along the shore? Why is there stasis in punctuated equilibrium? Why is adaptive radiation allopatric? Why does a node occur in a standing wave? Why does seismic wave velocity increase with depth? Why are the semicircular canals thin?
These slow-wave complexes alternate with brief episodes of fast oscillations, similar to the sustained fast oscillations that occur during the wake state. We propose that alternating fast and slow waves consolidate information acquired previously during wakefulness. Slow-wave sleep would thus begin with...
Radio waves, on the other hand, are fundamentally different from sound waves.They are electromagnetic:they result from oscillations of the electromagnetic field and don't need a physical medium. So they, like other types of electromagnetic wave, can travel basically anywhere—through a vacuum or ...
These natural waveguides occur when the Sun is rising or setting, which makes sunrise and sunset good times to pick up VLF emissions. Now, there are a few different sounds that you can hear on a VLF receiver, because when lightning strikes the radio waves travel different distances and in ...
In the Northern Hemisphere, we expect summer weather to occur around June, July and August, and winter weather to occur in December, January and February. Why We Have Leap Years We have leap years to account for the difference between a calendar year and a solar year. Today, most of th...
when audiogenic stimuli were used, juvenileFmr1-KO mice had increased audiogenic seizures and defects in the acoustic startle response, similar to FXS patients [70]. In addition, bothFmr1-KO mouse and rat models exhibit increased resting state gamma oscillations and decreased alpha oscillations in ...
cause the ion channels governing the heart’s electrical system to oscillate with the clock too. On September 8 in Indianapolis ata meeting of the American Chemical Society(ACS), Jain reported that these oscillations also occur in human heart cells. The results point to an era when doctors may...
