Sleep, Memory, and Aging: Effects of Pre- and Post-Sleep Delays and Interference on Memory in Younger and Older Adults
… research investigated the relationship between sleep and memory in younger and older adults. Previous research has demonstrated that during the deep sleep stage: i.e., slow wave sleep), recently learned memories are reactivated and consolidated in younger adults. However, little research has …

Sleep Characteristics in Breastfeeding and Formula-Feeding Mothers
Sleep loss is a common concern frequently expressed by new mothers. This study's purpose was to investigate the difference between sleep architecture, descriptions and self-perception of sleep in breastfeeding and formula-feeding mothers, 4-6 weeks post-partum (N=44). Measurement tools were …

Hypnosis as an Analgesia in Labor and Delivery
… used by the priest in charge of the Egyptian "Sleep Temples" when they gave curative suggestions to sufferers who sought their aid. | In Asia and India, Holy men and Fakirs have used it for centuries to induce trance-like states and develop apparently super-normal powers. | As the Greeks …

Automatic Sleep Assessment from Nocturnal Breathing and Its Applications for Contactless Monitoring
The ability to assess sleep at home, capture sleep stages, and detect the occurrence of apnea (without on-body sensors) simply by analyzing the radio waves bouncing off people’s bodies while they sleep is quite powerful. Such a capability would allow for longitudinal data collection in patients’ …

Sleep and Sleeplessness in the Victorian Novel, Jane Eyre to Dracula
<p>Victorian inquisitiveness about sleep and dysfunctions of sleep is exemplified in novels published during the fifty-year period from <em>Jane Eyre</em> (1847) to <em>Dracula</em> (1897). This inquisitiveness foreshadows modern medical sleep science and immerses the reading public in a body of …

Mechanism of Hip Dysplasia and Identification of the Least Energy Path for its Treatment by using the Principle of Stationary Potential Energy
… with the Pavlik Harness occurs passively in deep sleep under the combined effects of gravity and the constraints of the Pavlik Harness. A non-linear constitutive equation, describing the passive muscle response, is used in the potential energy computation. Different DDH abnormalities with …

Developmental perspectives on community beliefs and attitudes about sleep
… both dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep and sleep hygiene behaviours contribute to sleeping problems, particularly for those with insomnia. However, limited research has investigated beliefs and attitudes about sleep and sleep hygiene from a developmental perspective, within the …

Cognitive processing during sleep: the role of signal significance and participant characteristics
Fire fatality statistics show that being asleep in a residential home is a serious risk factor for death in a fire. These statistics also show that this risk is increased according to individual factors such as being very young, or being under the influence of alcohol. Research has shown that …

Multi-purpose applications of energy storage systems in a power system network
… and mitigation of voltage deviations using the deep sleep optimizer (DSO) algorithm was developed. The proposed method establishes a relationship between frequency nadir, voltage variations, power losses, and the BESS multiplier by utilizing regression analysis techniques in multi-objective …

Examining the Effects of transcranial Electrical Stimulation on Vigilance and Attention
… and physiological dynamics fluctuate between deep sleep and hyper alert states, over acute and diurnal cycles. Within the arousal spectrum, constructs like attention and vigilance aid in filtering and regulating ongoing exogenous sensory and endogenous neural activity, to maintain appropriate …

Analysis of pattern dynamics for a nonlinear model of the human cortex via bifurcation theories
… dynamics such as epileptic seizure EEG spikes, deep-sleep slow-wave oscillations and cognitive gamma-waves. The relationship between the modelled brain patterns and model equations can normally be inferred from the eigenvalue dispersion curve, i.e., linear stability analysis. Sometimes we …
