Slowing Down Time: studies on spatial time
The experience of time is not fixed by a rigid mathematical measure, instead, it flows at vaying rates. There are certain occasions in which we would like to extend time with all our force, up to the limit of our stretched arms and further. Conversely there are moments which we'd like to last no …

Eliminating critical slowing down in Monte Carlo calculations
… points; this phenomenon is called Critical Slowing Down, (CSD). Recently, alternate methods have been proposed to shorten the relaxation time and thereby, reduce CSD. These methods all modify site-by-site Metropolis and heat bath Monte Carlo to operate on larger spacial scales. One of these …

Proportional slowing in old adults is modulated by episodic memory demands : an investigation of age-related slowing using compatible and arbitrary stimulus-response mappings
Das dominante Datenmuster im Bereich des kognitiven Alterns ist der Alters-x-Komplexitätseffekt. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, ob das Muster statt durch einen üblicherweise postulierten unspezifischen durch einen spezifischen Mechanismus erklärt werden kann: die mit dem Alter abnehmende …

Cardiac slowing as a function of biofeedback and sensory deprivation or biofeedback alone
<p>Boucharq and Corson (1976) found that subjects required to lower heart rate to avoid the loss of money used the strategy of attending to meaningless stimulation twice as often as subjects required to lower heart rates to obtain money, and that subjects decreasing heart rate to avoid the loss of …

Weak at the Knees: Wearable Haptic Feedback Device for Real-Time Gait Retraining for Slowing Knee Osteoarthritis
Real-time gait retraining has been shown to be a promising non-invasive intervention for patients with early stage medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis. In order for real-time gait retraining to be effective beyond a clinical and laboratory setting, the technology needs to be effective but also …

Serotonin signaling in C. elegans
… animals. This behavior, called the enhanced slowing response, is partly serotonin (5-HT) dependent. Animals mutant for the 5-HT reuptake transporter gene mod-5 slow even more than wild-type animals because endogenous 5-HT activity is potentiated. This behavior, called the hyperenhanced …

String quartet

This thesis proposes a slowed processing theory of cognition in CFS focusing on representational weakness and global reductions in cortical activity as possible mediators of …

Fusion-Product Transport in Axisymmetric Tokamaks: Losses and Thermalization
… Prompt-escape loss fluxes (i.e. prior to slowing down) are calculated including the non-separable dependence of flux as a function of poloidal angle and local angle-of-incidence at the first wall. The flux is strongly peaked at near grazing incidence, suggesting that blistering-injected …

A Monte Carlo analysis of neutron thermalization in graphite
… various reactor parameters such as Fermi Age, slowing dotm time, and diffusion length in graphite will be measured using the pulsed source method. This thesis is a Monte Carlo calculation of the results to be expected in such an experiment. The neutron flux and energy spectrum was calculated at …
