A neurophysiological basis for aperiodic EEG and the background spectral trend.

Electroencephalograms (EEGs) display a mixture of rhythmic and broadband fluctuations, the latter manifesting as an apparent 1/f spectral trend. While network oscillations are known to generate rhythmic EEG, the neural basis of broadband EEG remains unexplained. Here, we use biophysical modelling to show that aperiodic neural activity can generate detectable scalp potentials and shape broadband EEG features, but that these aperiodic signals do not significantly perturb brain rhythm quantification.

Natural Fiber Reinforced Shoe Midsoles with Balanced Stiffness/Damping Behavior.

The comfort of walking depends heavily on the shoes used. Consequently, the midsole of shoes is designed in such a way that it can dampen force peaks during walking. This significantly increases the overall wellness during walking.

Comparison of neonatal outcomes of cesarean sections performed under primary or secondary general anesthesia: a retrospective study.

Background: The conversion of neuraxial anesthesia (NA) to general anesthesia (GA) during a cesarean section (CS) may be associated with a higher risk of neonatal morbidity by adding the undesirable effects of both these anesthesia techniques. We aimed to compare the neonatal morbidity of non-elective CS performed after conversion from NA to GA (secondary GA) vs. that after GA from the outset (primary GA).

40-Tesla pulsed-field cryomagnet for single crystal neutron diffraction.

We present the first long-duration and high duty cycle 40-T pulsed-field cryomagnet addressed to single crystal neutron diffraction experiments at temperatures down to 2 K. The magnet produces a horizontal field in a bi-conical geometry, ±15° and ±30° upstream and downstream of the sample, respectively. Using a 1.

Field-induced spin-density wave beyond hidden order in URuSi.

URuSi is one of the most enigmatic strongly correlated electron systems and offers a fertile testing ground for new concepts in condensed matter science. In spite of >30 years of intense research, no consensus on the order parameter of its low-temperature hidden-order phase exists. A strong magnetic field transforms the hidden order into magnetically ordered phases, whose order parameter has also been defying experimental observation.
