Journal ArticleDOI

Using weak impulses to suppress traveling waves in excitable media.

TL;DR: It is shown that weak impulses can be used to change the values of the slow variable at the front and back of a traveling wave, which leads to wave front and wave back velocities that are different from each other.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reevaluation of lung cancer risk in the acrylonitrile cohort study of the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

TL;DR: The analysis of the present study provides little evidence that acrylonitrile exposure increases the mortality risk of cancers of a priori interest, including lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of stochastic monopolar galvanic vestibular stimulation on human postural sway.

TL;DR: The coherence values obtained were lower than those reported for stochastic bipolar binaural GVS and mediolateral sway, and these differences may be due to fundamental characteristics of the vestibular system such as lower sensitivity to symmetric changes in afferent firing dynamics, and/or differences between the biomechanics of anteroposterior and mediolaateral sway.
