Changes in auditory pure tone threshold and speech discrimination and the phase and gain in the sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test were measured in subjects with endolymphatic hydrops (Meniere's disease) following the administration of glycerol. Although all subjects showed a marked improvement in auditory function, a comparable change in vestibular function, as measured by the sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test, was not observed.

Circadian rhythms are governed by a biological clock, and are known to occur in a variety of physiological processes. We report results on the circadian rhythm of heart rate observed using a wrist-worn wearable device (Fitbit), consisting of over 17,000 individuals over the course of 30 days. We obtain an underlying heart rate circadian rhythm from the time series heart rate by modeling the circadian rhythm as a sum over the first two Fourier harmonics.

Gas bubbles, commonly used in medical ultrasound (US), witness advancements with nanobubbles (NB), providing improved capabilities over microbubbles (MB). NBs offer enhanced penetration into capillaries and the ability to extravasate into tumors following systemic injection, alongside prolonged circulation and persistent acoustic contrast. Low-frequency insonation (<1 MHz) with NBs holds great potential in inducing significant bioeffects, making the monitoring of their acoustic response critical to achieving therapeutic goals.

This paper is devoted to the development of a window-type inductive current transformer (iCT) with a rated primary current equal to 400 A and two secondary windings with rated currents of 5 A and 1 A. Its novelty concerns the presentation of this process in the case of an iCT with a 0.2S accuracy class ensured not only for a sinusoidal current of a frequency of 50 Hz but also for the transformation of distorted current in the harmonic frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 kHz.

Chair of Applied Electrodynamics and Plasma Technology, Ruhr University Bochum, Universitätsstraße 150, 44780, Bochum, Germany.

Nonlinearity is a crucial characteristic for implementing hardware security primitives or neuromorphic computing systems. The main feature of all memristive devices is this nonlinear behavior observed in their current-voltage characteristics. To comprehend the nonlinear behavior, we have to understand the coexistence of resistive, capacitive, and inertia (virtual inductive) effects in these devices.
