This paper deals with the problem of vertical oscillation of rail and road vehicles under symmetrical and asymmetrical loading and symmetrical and asymmetrical kinematic excitation. The term asymmetry is understood as the asymmetric distribution of vehicle mass and elastic and dissipative elements with respect to the axes of geometric symmetry, including asymmetric kinematic excitation. The various models used (spatial, planar, quarter-plane) are discussed and their analytical solutions are outlined. The theory of the spatial model is applied to the chassis of a model railway vehicle. The basic relations for the calculation of the equations of motion of this vehicle are given. In the next section, the experimental solution of a four-axle platform rail car is described and the measurements of vertical displacement and accelerations when crossing wedges (representing unevenness) are given.

Elucidating human cerebral cortex function is essential for understanding the physiological basis of both healthy and pathological brain states. We obtained extracellular local field potential recordings from cortical slices of neocortical tissue from refractory epilepsy patients. Multi-electrode recordings were combined with histological information, providing a two-dimensional spatiotemporal characterization of human cortical dynamics in control conditions and following modulation of the excitation/inhibition balance.

Surface loading effects related to atmospheric, hydrological, non-tidal ocean, are one of the principal sources of the seasonal oscillations in GNSS time series, and it should be taken into account for improving GNSS accuracy. In this study, the daily vertical time series of 9 GNSS stations at Hong Kong was used to investigate the surface loading (sum of atmospheric loading, hydrological loading, non-tidal ocean loading (AHNL)) contributors of seasonal oscillations in GNSS observations. This paper reveals a correlation between the AHNL deformation and the GNSS vertical time series, with an average correlation coefficient of 0.

This is commonly demonstrated in cueing studies, which show that when attention is deployed to a known target location that happens to fall on a visual object, responses to targets that unexpectedly appear at other locations on that object are faster and more accurate, as if the object in its entirety has been visually prioritized. However, this notion has recently been challenged by results suggesting that putative object-based effects may reflect the influence of hemifield anisotropies in attentional deployment, or of unacknowledged influences of perceptual complexity and visual clutter.

Illusions of self-motion (vection) can be improved by adding global visual oscillation to patterns of optic flow. Here we examined whether adding apparent visual oscillation (based on four-stroke apparent motion-4SAM) also improves vection. This apparent vertical oscillation was added to self-motion displays simulating constant velocity leftward self-motion.

Humans sometimes synchronize their steps to mechanical oscillations in the environment (e.g., when walking on a swaying bridge or with a wearable robot).
