Random networks of integrate-and-fire neurons with strong current-based synapse scan, unlike previously believed, assume stable states of sustained asynchronous and irregular firing, even without external random background or pacemaker neurons. We analyze ...
The first-principle understanding of the processes in the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) of a tokamak is crucial for the developement of a thermonuclear reactor. Since the plasma temperature in the SOL is rather low, the plasma is typically not fully ionized, and ...
The Bénard–von Kármán vortex shedding instability in the wake of a cylinder is perhaps the best known example of a supercritical Hopf bifurcation in fluid dynamics. However, a simplified physical description that accurately accounts for the saturation ampl ...
The experience of singularity of the conscious self may break down in heautoscopy. In heautoscopy patients see a double or doppelganger of themselves. Moreover, the self may be experienced as reduplicated—existing at two or even more locations simultaneous ...
Analytical theory and two different magnetohydrodynamical stability codes are used in a study of the effects of toroidal plasma rotation on the stability of the ideal, internal kink mode in tokamaks. The focus of the paper is on the role that the centrifug ...
Inspired by the basic processes of molecular biology, our previous studies resulted in configurable circuits endowed with self-organizing properties like configuration, cloning, cicatrization, and regeneration. Among these properties, the activation of the ...

In this paper we investigate the self-organization and cognitive abilities of adaptive networks when the individual agents are allowed to move in pursuit of an objective. The network as a whole acts as an adaptive entity with localized processing and is ab ...
The evolution of GaN luminescence under electron beam injection has been studied by means of in situ cathodoluminescence experiments on various epitaxial lateral overgrown samples. It is shown that the ultraviolet (UV) peak of undoped materials experiences ...
The goal of this paper is to identify farmers’ future in terms of the pesticide management of potato growing farmers in Vereda la Hoya (Boyacá, Colombia). To achieve this goal we applied the Future-Structured Mental Model Approach (Future-SMMA) and intervi ...
Neurological disorders of body representation have for a long time suggested the importance of multisensory processing of bodily signals for self-consciousness. One such group of disorders--illusory own body perceptions affecting the entire body--has been ...
