The oscillatory response of the electroretinogram and neuronal adaptation

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract After more than 50 years, there still remains a challenge and an interest to know more as well as extend and deepen our understanding of the small rapid wavelets, the oscillatory potentials (OPs), of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the neuronal adaptation of the retina.

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

Hierarchical Differentiable Fluid Simulation

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce a two‐step algorithm that significantly reduces memory usage for solving control problems using differentiable fluid simulation techniques: our method first optimizes for bulk forces at reduced resolution, then refines local details over sub‐domains while maintaining differentiability. In trading runtime for memory, it enables optimization

Mean-Variance-Skewness Portfolio Performance Gauging: A General Shortage Function and Dual Approach [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper proposes a nonparametric efficiency measurement approach for the static portfolio selection problem in mean-variance-skewness space. A shortage function is defined that looks for possible increases in return and skewness and decreases in ...

Non-bifurcatory Diairesis and Greek Music Theory: A resource for Plato in the Statesman? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
At 287c of the Statesman the Eleatic Visitor — or, more deeply, Plato — faces a daunting task. Because statesmanship has been shown to collaborate with “countless” other arts that share with it the work of “caring” for the city, to understand ...

Benefits of using immersive virtual reality in haptic dental simulation for endodontic access cavity training: A comparative crossover study

open access: yesInternational Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The use of haptic virtual reality simulators in preclinical dental education is evolving rapidly. However, the application of immersive haptic simulations for specific dental procedures, such as access cavity preparation, has not been extensively explored.

Seconde main et deuxième vie

open access: yesMélanges de la Casa de Velázquez, 2010
This article looks at the importance that our society attaches to the reappraisal of used objects when they reach the end of their useful life. Laid out in flea markets, displayed in museums or re-used in contemporary art, some objects, some pieces of ...

The tympanic covering layer contributes to basilar membrane elasticity potentially influencing human frequency resolution and speech perception

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study we show for the first time that the human basilar membrane contains elastin produced by the so‐called tympanic covering layer. It is believed to play an important functional role in human cochlear tuning, particularly low frequencies linked to our remarkable speech and music perception.

Noise generated by quiet engine fans. 3: Fan C [PDF]

open access: yes
A family of fans designed with low noise features was acoustically evaluated, and noise results are documented for a 1.6-pressure-ratio, 472-m/sec (155-ft/sec) tip speed fan. The fan is described and some aerodynamic operating data are given.
