Air-entraining Agents01:27

Air-entraining Agents

270
Air-entraining agents improve the durability and workability of concrete in climates with frequent freezing and thawing. These agents prevent cracks by introducing small air bubbles into the mix, creating spaces accommodating water expansion when temperatures drop. The air-entraining agents lower the surface tension of water, forming stable, small air bubbles. This method is more effective than having accidental large voids, as the intentional, smaller, and evenly distributed air voids improve...

Effects of Air-entrainment in Concrete

383
Air entrainment in concrete significantly enhances the material's durability, especially in environments subjected to freeze-thaw cycles. Introducing small air bubbles into the concrete mix acts as internal voids that accommodate the expansion of water when it freezes, thereby alleviating internal stress and preventing structural cracks. This function is crucial in climates with significant freezing and thawing, as it protects the concrete from repeated stresses that could lead to premature...

Oscillations In An LC Circuit01:30

Oscillations In An LC Circuit

3.1K
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Forced Oscillations01:06

Forced Oscillations

8.0K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Damped Oscillations01:07

Damped Oscillations

7.2K
In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.
Although friction and other non-conservative...

Oscillations about an Equilibrium Position01:04

Oscillations about an Equilibrium Position

6.9K
Stability is an important concept in oscillation. If an equilibrium point is stable, a slight disturbance of an object that is initially at the stable equilibrium point will cause the object to oscillate around that point. For an unstable equilibrium point, if the object is disturbed slightly, it will not return to the equilibrium point. There are three conditions for equilibrium points—stable, unstable, and half-stable. A half-stable equilibrium point is also unstable, but is named so...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Oscillatory activity, detected via field potentials, is a hallmark of neural network function.
  • For oscillations to influence brain activity causally, they must synchronize (entrain) neuronal firing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the conditions under which oscillatory synaptic input effectively entrains neuronal firing within local neural networks.
  • To determine the factors influencing the specificity of neuronal entrainment by network oscillations.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of field potentials to identify oscillatory input.
  • Modeling or experimental investigation of neuronal firing patterns in response to oscillatory input.
  • Examination of intrinsic neuronal properties (e.g., cell type-specific resonances) and network states (e.g., background firing rates).

Main Results:

  • Neuronal firing entrainment by prominent oscillatory input is not guaranteed.
  • Intrinsic neuronal dynamics, including cell type-specific resonances and background firing rates, significantly modulate entrainment.
  • Different frequency oscillations engage distinct subsets of neurons within a local network.

Conclusions:

  • Neuronal entrainment is a selective process dependent on postsynaptic neuron properties and network activity.
  • Network oscillations may engage specific neuronal populations, suggesting frequency- and cell-type-specific roles in information processing.
