Combining accelerometry with allometry for estimating daily energy expenditure in joules when in-lab calibration is unavailable
Kamiar Aminian, Pritish Chakravarty
Background All behaviour requires energy, and measuring energy expenditure in standard units (joules) is key to linking behaviour to ecological processes. Animal-borne accelerometers are commonly used to infer proxies of energy expenditure, termed 'dynamic ...
BMC2023Laser-guided lightning using kHz filamentation at 1030 nm
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jonathan Leon Wolf
Controlling lightning is a long-time dream of mankind. Along with the rapid evolution of laser technologies, the idea to develop lightning protection based on filamentation of high-power ultrashort-pulse lasers emerged in the 1990s [1]. The goal of the Las ...
2023Hits and Misses: Digital Contact Tracing in a Pandemic
Traditional contact tracing is one of the most powerful weapons people have in the battle against a pandemic, especially when vaccines do not yet exist or do not afford complete protection from infection. But the effectiveness of contact tracing hinges on ...
SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD2023REM sleep and muscle atonia in brainstem stroke: A quantitative polysomnographic and lesion analysis study
Important brainstem regions are involved in the regulation of rapid eye movement sleep. We hypothesized that brainstem stroke is associated with dysregulated rapid eye movement sleep and related muscle activity. We compared quantitative/qualitative polysom ...
WILEY2022Genetic selection for low glucocorticoid responsiveness recapitulates PTSD-related phenotypes: a behavioral, neuroimaging and sleep-physiology study
Humans show inter-individual differences in vulnerability to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following exposure to trauma. Several critical biobehavioral features have been consistently described in PTSD patients, including blunted cortisol l ...
EPFL2022Analysis of U-Shape Patterns in RR-Interval Time Series During Sleep
Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani, Alexandre Thierry Robert Cherqui
The proposed study investigates a phenomenon, defined as "U-patterns", that takes place in the RR-interval time series during sleep. These patterns are defined as a U-shaped decrease-increase in the RR-intervals, with a duration of 20 to 40 seconds with a ...
IEEE2018Built-in, exposed or concealed comfort services. Attempts (incomplete) to industrialise collective housing after 1945
Simultaneous consideration of active devices – especially mechanical heating and ventilation – and passive devices – including insulation and waterproofing of building envelopes – was one of the most notable aspects of studies of the management of physiolo ...
CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group2018Sleep: An Open-Source Python Software for Visualization, Analysis, and Staging of Sleep Data
Christian O'Reilly, Raphaël Vallat
We introduce Sleep, a new Python open-source graphical user interface (GUI) dedicated to visualization, scoring and analyses of sleep data. Among its most prominent features are: (1) Dynamic display of polysomnographic data, spectrogram, hypnogram and topo ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2017Out-of-Body Experiences and Other Complex Dissociation Experiences in a Patient with Unilateral Peripheral Vestibular Damage and Deficient Multisensory Integration
Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Petr Grivaz
Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are illusory perceptions of one's body from an elevated disembodied perspective. Recent theories postulate a double disintegration process in the personal (visual, proprioceptive and tactile disintegration) and extrapersonal ...
Brill Academic Publishers2015Twitching in Sensorimotor Development from Sleeping Rats to Robots
It is still not known how the ‘rudimentary’ movements of fetuses and infants are transformed into the coordinated, flexible and adaptive movements of adults. In addressing this important issue, we consider a behavior that has been perennially viewed as a f ...
