Synchronization phenomena in coupled oscillatory systems are very important models to describe various higher-dimensional nonlinear phenomena in the field of natural science. In this paper, phase synchronization in a ring of van der Pol oscillators coupled by time-varying resistors is studied. The coexistence of in-phase and anti/N-phase states and various interesting phase synchronization patterns are observed when the parameters are changed. Further, the influence of duty cycle of time-varying resistors for the observed phase synchronization patterns is investigated.

The firings of excitable systems can phase lock to periodic forcing. In many situations however, the firings are separated by a random number of forcing cycles, even though they occur near a preferred phase of the forcing. Also, the associated interspike interval histograms display peaks over a continuous range of integer multiples of the forcing period, and the peak heights are a unimodal function of increasing multiples of the period. This paper focusses on these patterns of stochastic phase synchronization and their alteration by physiologically relevant stimuli that modulate the amplitude of the periodic forcing. Specifically, two regimes of the FitzHugh–Nagumo system exhibiting stochastic phase locking are considered. We discuss how internal noise, originating from e.g. synaptic or conductance fluctuations, must interact with either suprathreshold or subthreshold dynamics, and in some instances with subthreshold chaos, to produce such firing patterns. These responses to constant amplitude "carriers" are then compared to those from carriers with random band-limited amplitude modulations (AM's). The comparison is based on the mean firing rate, as well as phase synchronization computed using a suitably defined input–output phase difference. Further, using the stimulus reconstruction technique to characterize synchrony between random AM's and spikes, the internal noise is shown to help transmit information about random carrier AM's in the subthreshold and slightly suprathreshold cases. This transmission also depends nonmonotonically on the carrier frequency. Our results provide biophysical insight into the dynamics of neural signal encoding that combines a mean rate code on long time scales and a precise temporal code based on phase locking on the shorter time scale of the carrier period.

Two Photon Excitation

Two-photon excitation microscopy (TPEM) provides attractive advantages over confocal microscopy for three-dimensionally resolved fluorescence imaging and photochemistry. Two-photon excitation arises from the simultaneous absorption of two photons in a single quantitized event whose probability is proportional to the square of the instantaneous intensity. For example, two red photons can cause the transition to an excited electronic state normally reached by absorption in the ultraviolet. In practice, two-photon excitation is made possible by the very high local instantaneous intensity provided by a combination of diffraction-limited focusing of a single laser beam in the microscope and the temporal concentration of 100 femtosecond pulses generated by a mode-locked laser. Resultant peak excitation intensities are 106 times greater than the CW intensities used in confocal microscopy, but the pulse duty cycle of 10-5 maintains the average input power on the order of 10 mW, only slightly greater than the power normally used in confocal microscopy.

Contralateral acoustic-reflex measurements were taken for 10 normal-hearing subjects using a pulsed broadband noise as the reflex-activating signal. Acoustic impedance was measured at selected times during the on (response maximum) and off (response minimum) portions of the pulsed activator over a 2-min interval as a function of activator period and duty cycle. Major findings were that response maxima increased as a function of time for longer duty cycles and that response minima increased as a function of time for all duty cycles. It is hypothesized that these findings are attributable to the recovery characteristics of the stapedius muscle. An explanation of portions of the results from previous temporary threshold shift experiments on the basis of acoustic-reflex dynamics is proposed.

Based on the observation of some teachers found the symptoms as follows: the lack of abilityof Indonesian teachers in designing learning program (RPP), the learning device is only usedas a supplement and not to the needs of teaching, most teachers again if asked the lessonanswered not have or has not been made. The purpose of this research is to improve theability of Indonesian teachers in designing learning program (RPP) at SDN 015 PagaranTapah Darussalam through the method of administration tasks. This type of research is actionresearch school. Subjects in this study were teachers Indonesian as many as 12 people. Basedon the analysis and discussion can be concluded that the method of administration tasks canimprove the ability of Indonesian teachers in making learning device in SDN 015 PagaranTapah Darussalam through the method of administration tasks. Under these conditions, thelevel of acceptance of teachers increased. The aspect ratio capability Indonesian teachers inpreparing lesson plans through the provision of duty cycle I and II of the increase from 56%and the second cycle to 79%.
