Conditioned reflex activity of rats at later periods after the end of flight aboard the Kosmos-605 biosatellite
The aftereffects of spaceflight on the higher nervous activity of rats were studied. A five lane maze with a feeding terminal was used to check such factors as transfer of experience, the habit and speed of reaching the goal in the maze, long term memory, and the dynamics of errors. During the 3rd-7th postflight week, functional disturbances in the rat HNA were manifested in the deterioration of the capacity for the transfer of experience and for locating the feeding compartment in the maze, thus indicating a general decrease of work capacity. The increased number of errors and failures pointed to exhaustion of higher nervous processes and to the weakened functional activity of the brain
Limitations of the classical phase-locked loop analysis
Nonlinear analysis of the classical phase-locked loop (PLL) is a challenging
task. In classical engineering literature simplified mathematical models and
simulation are widely used for its study. In this work the limitations of
classical engineering phase-locked loop analysis are demonstrated, e.g., hidden
oscillations, which can not be found by simulation, are discussed. It is shown
that the use of simplified dynamical models and the application of simulation
may lead to wrong conclusions concerning the operability of PLL-based circuits
