A nonlinear version of the stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emission (SFOAE) was measured using stimulus waveforms similar to those used for behavioral overshoot. Behaviorally, the seven listeners were as much as 11 dB worse at detecting a brief tonal signal (4.0 kHz, 10 ms in duration) when it occurred soon after the onset of a wideband masking noise (0.1-6.0 kHz; 400 ms in duration) than when it was delayed by about 200 ms, and the nonlinear SFOAE measure exhibited a similar effect. When either lowpass (0.1-3.8 kHz) or bandpass noise (3.8-4.2 kHz) was used instead of the wideband noise, the physiological and behavioral measures again were similar. When a highpass noise (4.2-6.0 kHz) was used, the physiological and behavioral measures both showed no overshoot-like effect for five of the subjects. The physiological response to the tone decayed slowly after the termination of the noise, much like the time course of resetting for behavioral overshoot. One subject exhibited no overshoot behaviorally even though his cochlear responses were like those of the other subjects. Overall, the evidence suggests that some basic characteristics of overshoot are obligatory consequences of cochlear function, as modulated by the olivocochlear efferent system.

Chitosan microgels (h-CSMs) were prepared by cross-linking hydrophobically modified chitosan with sodium phytate (SP). Emulsions stabilized by h-CSMs with different inter-phase fraction, microgel concentration and cross-linking density were studied of their microstructural and rheological properties. In particular, the large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) of the high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) stabilized by h-CSMs were systematically analyzed using the Fourier transform with Chebyshev polynomials (FTC) and sequence of physical processes (SPP) methods, to explore their nonlinear rheological properties.

Spherical tanks have been predominantly used in process industries due to their large storage capability. The fundamental challenges in process industries require a very efficient controller to control the various process parameters owing to their nonlinear behavior. The current research work in this paper aims to propose the Approximate Generalized Time Moments (AGTM) optimization technique for designing Fractional-Order PI (FOPI) and Fractional-Order PID (FOPID) controllers for the nonlinear Single Spherical Tank Liquid Level System (SSTLLS).

Article Synopsis
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is commonly diagnosed through behavioral analyses, but this study aims to improve diagnosis by using upper limb movement kinematics and deep learning methods to identify potential biomarkers in children.
- The research involved 41 school-age children (with and without ASD) using an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) on their wrist while performing tasks, revealing distinct movement patterns in children with ASD compared to typical development (TD) children.
- The study achieved a classification accuracy of about 78.1% using a Multilayer Perceptron model, highlighting the promise of incorporating motion analysis and advanced technology for earlier and more objective ASD diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is linked to alpha-synucleinopathies, and the study aimed to evaluate autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction in individuals with iRBD and its potential to predict clinical progression.
- In a study of 25 iRBD patients, 28% developed synucleinopathy, primarily Parkinson's disease, with many exhibiting abnormal ANS test results; those who progressed had significantly higher rates of dysfunction compared to those who did not.
- Results indicate that both symptomatic and subtle ANS dysfunctions are prevalent in iRBD, and specific adrenergic system issues may signal a higher short-term risk of developing synucleinopathy.
