Big news: Evidence for #Menopause as a Sex-Specific Risk Factor for Glaucoma
“We also highlight preclinical studies that demonstrate larger vision and RGC (retinal ganglion cells) loss following surgical menopause and how estrogen is protective in models of RGC injury.”

Evidence for Menopause as a Sex-Specific Risk Factor for Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and is characterized by progressive loss of visual function and retinal ganglion cells (RGC). Current epidemiological, clinical, and basic science evidence suggest that estrogen plays a role ...

Lévy noise-induced coherence resonance: numerical study versus experiment
Using the FitzHugh-Nagumo system in the excitable regime, we investigate the influence of the L{é}vy noise properties on the effect of coherence resonance. In particular, we demonstrate that the L{é}vy noise can be a constructive or destructive factor providing for enhancement or suppression of noise-induced coherence. We show that the positive or negative role of the L{é}vy noise impact is dictated by the noise stability index and skewness parameter. The correlation time and the deviation o…

Oppie Op-ed: Reflections on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer
Right before Nolan's movie was released, I gave a talk on Oppenheimer, trying to anticipate what elements of Bird and Sherwin's biography on which the movie is based would make it into the movie. In this article, written for the October 2023 edition of the newsletter of the Forum on Science and Society of the APS, I elaborate on some of the elements I missed. I used this article as the basis for a post-movie version of my talk. I corrected some errors and made some additions to this article bef…

Towards understanding the nature of direct functional connectivity in visual brain network
Recent advances in neuroimaging have enabled studies in functional connectivity (FC) of human brain, alongside investigation of the neuronal basis of cognition. One important FC study is the representation of vision in human brain. The release of publicly available dataset BOLD5000 has made it possible to study the brain dynamics during visual tasks in greater detail. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of fMRI time series (TS) has been performed to explore different types of visual brain n…

Event Detection for Non-intrusive Load Monitoring using Tukey s Fences
The primary objective of non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) techniques is to monitor and track power consumption within residential buildings. This is achieved by approximating the consumption of each individual appliance from the aggregate energy measurements. Event-based NILM solutions are generally more accurate than other methods. Our paper introduces a novel event detection algorithm called Tukey's Fences-based event detector (TFED). This algorithm uses the fast Fourier transform in conj…

Controller to eliminate the first harmonic in delayed periodic signal with application to rotational scanning atomic force microscopy
The plant (system to be controlled) produces a periodic signal containing broad spectrum of the Fourier harmonics. The first Fourier harmonic (sine-type signal) assumed to be undesirable and should be removed by an external force, while other harmonics should be preserved. Because the measured plant data has an unknown amount of time delay and a sensitivity of the plant to external force is unknown, thus the amplitude and the phase of an anti-sine control force are unknown as well. We developed…

On the use of associative memory in Hopfield networks designed to solve propositional satisfiability problems
Hopfield networks are an attractive choice for solving many types of computational problems because they provide a biologically plausible mechanism. The Self-Optimization (SO) model adds to the Hopfield network by using a biologically founded Hebbian learning rule, in combination with repeated network resets to arbitrary initial states, for optimizing its own behavior towards some desirable goal state encoded in the network. In order to better understand that process, we demonstrate first that …

Quantum asymptotic amplitude for quantum oscillatory systems from the Koopman operator viewpoint
We have recently proposed a fully quantum-mechanical definition of the asymptotic phase for quantum nonlinear oscillators, which is also applicable in the strong quantum regime [Kato and Nakao 2022 Chaos 32 063133]. In this study, we propose a definition of the quantum asymptotic amplitude for quantum oscillatory systems, which extends naturally the definition of the asymptotic amplitude for classical nonlinear oscillators on the basis of the Koopman operator theory. We introduce the asymptotic…
