The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of apparent non-epileptiform activity arising in the same brain area as epileptiform activity in the EEG of paediatric patients with focal epilepsy. The EEG from eight patients was analyzed by an automated method which detects epochs with a single underlying source having a dipolar potential distribution. The EEG with the highlighted detections was then rated by an EEGer with respect to epileptiform activity. Although EEGer-marked events and computer detections often coincided, in five out of the eight patients a substantial number of other detections were found to arise from the same area as the marked events. The morphology of a high proportion of these other detections did not resemble typical epileptiform activity.

In this study, various thicknesses of Pd catalytic films were deposited on Ti/Si substrates and pretreated with NH/sub 3/. The effects of catalyst deposition parameters and NH/sub 3/ pretreatment time (0, 1, and 10 minutes) on the size distribution of Pd catalytic particles, and subsequently, on the diameter and density of synthesized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. The CNTs were synthesized by thermal CVD at 750/spl deg/C using methane (CH/sub 4/) as the carbon source, and a mixture of Ar/H/sub 2/ (80 vol.%/20 vol.%) as the carrier gas.

A novel microwave nondestructive testing technique is presented for breast cancer detection. A method utilizing the reflection coefficient at the aperture of a waveguide sensor radiating into a breast is described resulting in theoretical microwave images that clearly indicate the presence of a tumor. These images demonstrate the feasibility of detecting breast tumors using this approach

We designed an antenna model of the spherically distributed receptors of the HIV. The model consisted of a combination of electric Hertzian dipole and magnetic dipole antennas. We derived field equations for a 72-element spherical array of electric dipoles, and field equations for a 72-element array of magnetic dipoles. We combined these equations using superposition to model the virus receptors as receiving antennas. The resulting power pattern showed definite maximums at 80- and 280-degree positions, suggesting the virus acted as a radar when scanning for objects such as foreign cells. This work extended results of treating the AIDS virus as an antenna.

We studied the ultrafast response in metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet photodiodes fabricated on GaN. The best performance of a device with 1-/spl mu/m finger width and spacing showed a 3.5-ps response. The pulse width broadened significantly as the optical energy increased.

The controlled formation in an underdense plasma of stable multi-PW relativistic micrometer-scale channels, which conduct a confined power at 248nm exceeding 104 critical powers and establish a peak channel intensity of ∼1023W∕cm2, can be achieved with the use of an appropriate gradient in the electron density in the initial launching phase of the confined propagation. This mode of channel formation optimizes both the power compression and the stability by smoothing the transition from the incident spatial profile to that associated with the lowest channel eigenmode, the dynamically robust structure that governs the confined propagation. A chief outcome is the ability to stably conduct coherent energy at fluences greater than 109J∕cm2.

We present a new method of increasing the effective electrode surface for improved neural recording. To optimize the electrode, the impedance can be decreased by introducing surface roughness or nanostructures on the electrode. High aspect ratio pillar-like polysilicon nanostructures are created in a reactive ion etch. Nanostructure robustness in cell culture is examined.
In this work, we present and analyze the use of a reconfigurable job scheduling simulator called RJSSim as an aid tool for parallel processing learning. This software is a functional and performance Java-based simulat...

Dynamic programming (DP) is a principled way to design optimal controllers for certain classes of nonlinear systems;unfortunately, DP is computationally very expensive. The Reinforcement Learning methods known as Adaptive Critics (AC) provide computationally feasible means for performing approximate Dynamic programming (ADP). The term 'adaptive ' in A C refers to the critic 's improved estimations of the Value Function used by DP. To apply DP, the user must craft a Utility function that embodies all the problem-specific design specifications/criteria. Model Reference Adaptive Control methods have been successfully used in the control community to effect on-line redesign of a controller in response to variations in plant parameters, with the idea that the resulting closed loop system dynamics will mimic those of a Reference Model. The work reported here 1) uses a reference model in ADP as the key information input to the Utility function, and 2) uses ADP off-line to design the desired controller. Future work will extend this to on-line application. This method is demonstrated for a hypersonic shaped airplane called LoFL YTE®;its handling characteristics are natively a little "hotter" than a pilot would desire. A control augmentation subsystem is designed using ADP to make the plane "feel like " a better behaved one, as specified by a Reference Model. The number of inputs to the successfully designed controller are among the largest seen in the literature to date.
