Digital canopus tracker digital electronics

Circuitry has been developed for digital control of the Canopus tracker. A feasibility and demonstration breadboard has been constructed using microelectronic integrated circuits. The breadboard contains the digital circuits necessary for closed-digital logic necessary for star acquisition, particle rejection, programmable gate selection, cone angle selection, and routing of the digital roll error signal

Theoretical and experimental studies of space-related plasma wave propagation and resonance phenomena

Active research is reported in the following areas: (1) whistler propagation; (2) whistler triggered VLF emissions; (3) Alfven wave excitation; (4) helical electron beams for whistler generation; and (5) ULF excitation by metallic electric or magnetic dipole antennas

Variational description of the positive column with two-stem ionization

The ionization balance in diffusion dominated discharges which depends on both one and two step ionization processes is considered. The Spenke diffusion equation (D sq delta n + neutrino n + sq kn =0) describing such conditions is solved by the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method. Simple analytic approximations to the density profile, and the similarity relation between neutrino,k,D and the discharge dimensions, are derived for planar and cylindrical geometry, and compared with exact computations for certain limiting cases

Theoretical and experimental studies of the nature and characteristics of space related plasma resonance phenomena

Theoretical and experimental studies of space related plasma wave propagation and resonance phenomena cover whistler emissions and instabilities, low frequency plasma instabilities, nonlinear wave interactions and scattering from plasma column, and the resonance come of dipole antenna immersed in cold overdense magnetoplasma

How Does the Body Affect the Mind? Role of Cardiorespiratory Coherence in the Spectrum of Emotions

The brain is considered to be the primary generator and regulator of emotions; however, afferent signals originating throughout the body are detected by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and brainstem, and, in turn, can modulate emotional processes. During stress and negative emotional states, levels of cardiorespiratory coherence (CRC) decrease, and a shift occurs toward sympathetic dominance. In contrast, CRC levels increase during more positive emotional states, and a shift occurs toward parasympathetic dominance. Te dynamic changes in CRC that accompany different emotions can provide insights into how the activity of the limbic system and afferent feedback manifest as emotions. The authors propose that the brainstem and CRC are involved in important feedback mechanisms that modulate emotions and higher cortical areas. That mechanism may be one of many mechanisms that underlie the physiological and neurological changes that are experienced during pranayama and meditation and may support the use of those techniques to treat various mood disorders and reduce stress
