Modeling two-photon calcium fluorescence of episodic V1 recordings using multifrequency analysis
The use of two-photon microscopy allows for imaging of deep neural tissue in vivo. This paper examines frequency-based analysis to two-photon calcium fluorescence images with the goal of deriving smooth tuning curves. We present a multifrequency analysis approach for improved extraction of calcium responses in episodic stimulation experiments, that is, when the stimulus is applied for a number of frames, then turned off for the next few frames, and so on. Episodic orientation stimulus was applied while recording from the primary visual cortex of an anesthetized mouse. The multifrequency model demonstrated improved tuning curve descriptions of the neurons. It also offers perspective regarding the characteristics of calcium fluorescence imaging of the brain.National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant DP1-OD003646)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant R01-EB006385)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant EY07023)National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (Grant EY017098
LC Circuits for Diagnosing Embedded Piezoelectric Devices
A recently invented method of nonintrusively detecting faults in piezoelectric devices involves measurement of the resonance frequencies of inductor capacitor (LC) resonant circuits. The method is intended especially to enable diagnosis of piezoelectric sensors, actuators, and sensor/actuators that are embedded in structures and/or are components of multilayer composite material structures
Factors Influencing the Role of Farmer Groups in Increasing Rice Farm Production
The increased rice production can be realized through the role of farmer groups as a forum for farmers to plan and carry out rice farming every planting season. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the role of farmer groups in increasing rice production, and analyze how much influence these factors have on the role of farmer groups. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method. The sampling technique was carried out purposively using the Random Sampling technique, namely by taking 25% of the total population of 280 farmer group members so that the sample results were 70 people. The data of this research are primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through interviews using questionnaires with members of farmer groups, while secondary data were sourced from the relevant agencies. The data obtained were then analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis consisting of the F test and t test. The results showed that the factors of motivation, independence, and characteristics of the members of the farmer groups influenced the role of farmer groups in increasing rice production with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 60.1%. Meaning that the influence of other factors outside this study was only 39.9%.

Atomic position localization via dual measurement
We study localization of atomic position when a three-level atom interacts
with a quantized standing-wave field in the Ramsey interferometer setup. Both
the field quadrature amplitude and the atomic internal state are measured to
obtain the atomic position information. It is found that this dual measurement
scheme produces an interference pattern superimposed on a diffraction-like
pattern in the atomic position distribution, where the former pattern
originates from the state-selective measurement and the latter from the field
measurement. The present scheme results in a better resolution in the position
localization than the field-alone measurement schemes. We also discuss the
measurement-correlated mechanical action of the standing-wave field on the atom
in the light of Popper's test.Comment: 6.5 pages and 5 figure
Software for Testing Electroactive Structural Components
A computer program generates a graphical user interface that, in combination with its other features, facilitates the acquisition and preprocessing of experimental data on the strain response, hysteresis, and power consumption of a multilayer composite-material structural component containing one or more built-in sensor(s) and/or actuator(s) based on piezoelectric materials. This program runs in conjunction with Lab-VIEW software in a computer-controlled instrumentation system. For a test, a specimen is instrumented with appliedvoltage and current sensors and with strain gauges. Once the computational connection to the test setup has been made via the LabVIEW software, this program causes the test instrumentation to step through specified configurations. If the user is satisfied with the test results as displayed by the software, the user activates an icon on a front-panel display, causing the raw current, voltage, and strain data to be digitized and saved. The data are also put into a spreadsheet and can be plotted on a graph. Graphical displays are saved in an image file for future reference. The program also computes and displays the power and the phase angle between voltage and current
System and Method for Monitoring Piezoelectric Material Performance
A system and method are provided for monitoring performance capacity of a piezoelectric material that may form part of an actuator or sensor device. A switch is used to selectively electrically couple an inductor to the piezoelectric material to form an inductor-capacitor circuit. Resonance is induced in the inductor-capacitor circuit when the switch is operated to create the circuit. The resonance of the inductor-capacitor circuit is monitored with the frequency of the resonance being indicative of performance capacity of the device's piezoelectric material
A Method to have Multi-Layer Thermal Insulation Provide Damage Detection
Design and testing of a multi-layer thermal insulation system that also provides debris and micrometeorite damage detection is presented. One layer of the insulation is designed as an array of passive open-circuit electrically conductive spiral trace sensors. The sensors are a new class of sensors that are electrically open-circuits that have no electrical connections thereby eliminating one cause of failure to circuits. The sensors are powered using external oscillating magnetic fields. Once electrically active, they produce their own harmonic magnetic fields. The responding field frequency changes if any sensor is damaged. When the sensors are used together in close proximity, the inductive coupling between sensors provides a means of telemetry. The spiral trace design using reflective electrically conductive material provides sufficient area coverage for the sensor array to serves as a layer of thermal insulation. The other insulation layers are designed to allow the sensor s magnetic field to permeate the insulation layers while having total reflective surface area to reduce thermal energy transfer. Results of characterizing individual sensors and the sensor array s response to punctures are presented. Results of hypervelocity impact testing using projectiles of 1-3.6 millimeter diameter having speeds ranging from 6.7-7.1 kilometers per second are also presented
Post deposition interfacial N\'eel temperature tuning in magnetoelectric B:Cr2O3
Boron (B) alloying transforms the magnetoelectric antiferromagnet Cr2O3 into
a multifunctional single-phase material which enables electric field driven
{\pi}/2 rotation of the N\'eel vector. Nonvolatile, voltage-controlled N\'eel
vector rotation is a much-desired material property in the context of
antiferromagnetic spintronics enabling ultra-low power, ultra-fast, nonvolatile
memory, and logic device applications. N\'eel vector rotation is detected with
the help of heavy metal (Pt) Hall-bars in proximity of pulsed laser deposited
B:Cr2O3 films. To facilitate operation of B:Cr2O3-based devices in CMOS
environments, the N\'eel temperature, TN, of the functional film must be
tunable to values significantly above room temperature. Cold neutron depth
profiling and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy depth profiling reveal thermally
activated B-accumulation at the B:Cr2O3/ vacuum interface in thin films
deposited on Al2O3 substrates. We attribute the B-enrichment to surface
segregation. Magnetotransport data confirm B-accumulation at the interface
within a layer of about 50 nm thick where the device properties reside. Here TN
enhances from 334 K prior to annealing, to 477 K after annealing for several
hours. Scaling analysis determines TN as a function of the annealing
temperature. Stability of post-annealing device properties is evident from
reproducible N\'eel vector rotation at 370 K performed over the course of
weeks
Fault Locking, Block Rotation and Crustal Deformation in the Pacific Northwest
We interpret Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in the northwestern United States and adjacent parts of western Canada to describe relative motions of crustal blocks, locking on faults and permanent deformation associated with convergence between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates. To estimate angular velocities of the oceanic Juan de Fuca and Explorer plates and several continental crustal blocks, we invert the GPS velocities together with seafloor spreading rates, earthquake slip vector azimuths and fault slip azimuths and rates. We also determine the degree to which faults are either creeping aseismically or, alternatively, locked on the block-bounding faults. The Cascadia subduction thrust is locked mainly offshore, except in central Oregon, where locking extends inland. Most of Oregon and southwest Washington rotate clockwise relative to North America at rates of 0.4-1.0 ° Myr-1. No shear or extension along the Cascades volcanic arc has occurred at the mm/yr level during the past decade, suggesting that the shear deformation extending northward from the Walker Lane and eastern California shear zone south of Oregon is largely accommodated by block rotation in Oregon. The general agreement of vertical axis rotation rates derived from GPS velocities with those estimated from palaeomagnetic declination anomalies suggests that the rotations have been relatively steady for 10-15 Ma. Additional permanent dextral shear is indicated within the Oregon Coast Range near the coast. Block rotations in the Pacific Northwest do not result in net westward flux of crustal material¿the crust is simply spinning and not escaping. On Vancouver Island, where the convergence obliquity is less than in Oregon and Washington, the contractional strain at the coast is more aligned with Juan de Fuca¿North America motion. GPS velocities are fit significantly better when Vancouver Island and the southern Coast Mountains move relative to North America in a block-like fashion. The relative motions of the Oregon, western Washington and Vancouver Island crustal blocks indicate that the rate of permanent shortening, the type that causes upper plate earthquakes, across the Puget Sound region is 4.4 ± 0.3 mm yr-1. This shortening is likely distributed over several faults but GPS data alone cannot determine the partitioning of slip on them. The transition from predominantly shear deformation within the continent south of the Mendocino Triple Junction to predominantly block rotations north of it is similar to changes in tectonic style at other transitions from shear to subduction. This similarity suggests that crustal block rotations are enhanced in the vicinity of subduction zones possibly due to lower resisting stress
