Postrotatory responses of nystagmus were analysed in an exponential model by utilizing linear regression analysis. Four nystagmus qualities (velocity and duration of slow and fast phases) were studied in 10 patients with vestibular peripheral lesions, 10 patients with frontal lobe lesions and 10 patients with brain-stem lesions, together with 10 control subjects. In addition, pauses during the responses were quantified. Patients with frontal lobe lesions differed from other groups by scoring higher values of slow phase velocity and by exhibiting more pauses. The time constant was significantly shorter in patients with brain-stem lesion than in any other group. As regards other qualities, e.g. slow phase duration and fast phase velocity, or duration, no differences were observed. The pathological dysrhythmia may therefore be presented as changes in the gain and time constant of slow phase velocity as well as in pauses during nystagmus. Since all these changes may be encountered in normal subjects, one should be cautious in interpreting these changes as being pathological in each individual case.

Dung Beetle algorithm is an intelligent optimization algorithm with advantages in exploitation ability. However, due to the high randomness of parameters, premature convergence and other reasons, there is an imbalance between exploration and exploitation ability, and it is easy to fall into the problem of local optimal solution. The purpose of this study is to improve the optimization performance of dung beetle algorithm and explore its engineering application value.

Phase separation, a fundamental phenomenon in both natural and industrial settings, involves the coarsening of domains over time t to reduce interfacial energy. While well-understood for simple viscous liquid mixtures, the physical laws governing coarsening dynamics in complex fluids, such as colloidal suspensions, remain unclear. Here, we investigate colloidal phase separation through particle-based simulations with and without hydrodynamic interactions (HIs).

Wildfires at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) have been increasing in frequency over recent decades due to increased human development and shifting climatic patterns. The work presented here focuses on the impacts of a WUI fire on indoor air using field measurements of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by Proton-Transfer-Reaction Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS). We found a slow decrease in VOC mixing ratios over the course of roughly 5 weeks starting 10 days after the fire, and those levels decreased to ∼20% of the initial indoor value on average.
