Combining machine learning and simulations of a morphologically realistic model to study modulation of neuronal activity in cerebellar nuclei
(2014-07-21)
Epileptic absence seizures are characterized by synchronized oscillatory activity in the cerebral cortex that can be recorded as so-called spike-and-wave discharges (SWDs) by electroencephalogram. Although the cerebral ...
Seasonal variation of aerosol water uptake and its impact on the direct radiative effect at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard
(2014-07-21)
In this study we investigated the impact of water uptake by aerosol particles in ambient atmosphere on their optical properties and their direct radiative effect (ADRE, W m-2) in the Arctic at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, during ...
Before the first supernova: combined effects of H II regions and winds on molecular clouds
(2014-07-21)
We model the combined effects of photoionization and momentum-driven winds from O-stars on molecular clouds spanning a parameter space of initial conditions. The dynamical effects of the winds are very modest. However, in ...
Determinants of gain modulation enabled by short-term depression at an inhibitory cerebellar synapse
(2014-07-21)
Neurons adapt rapidly the slope, also known as gain, of their input-output function to time-varying conditions. Gain modulation is a prominent mechanism in many brain processes, such as auditory processing and attention ...
New drugs on the Internet : the case of Camfetamine
(2014-07-16)
The number of new psychoactive substances (NPS) advertised for sale online is constantly increasing and it has become a phenomenon of global concern. Among NPS, Camfetamine has been rediscovered as recreational drug in ...
Remote sensing of aerosols in the Arctic for an evaluation of global climate model simulations
(2014-07-16)
In this study Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua retrievals of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) at 555 nm are compared to Sun photometer measurements from Svalbard for a period of 9 years. For the ...

Volterra-Based Reconfigurable Nonlinear Equalizer for Coherent OFDM
(2014-07-15)
A reconfigurable nonlinear equalizer (RNLE) based on inverse Volterra series transfer function is proposed for dual-polarization (DP) and multiband coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. ...
