Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy: A Viable Technique for Aging Assessment of Low-Voltage Cable Insulation Used in Nuclear Power Plants.

This paper deals with the study of a non-destructive technique to detect the aging state of cable insulation used in a nuclear environment subjected to radiation and temperature aging. Cable samples were aged under dose rates ranging from 0.42 and 1.

Multisensory Bayesian Inference Depends on Synapse Maturation during Training: Theoretical Analysis and Neural Modeling Implementation.

Recent theoretical and experimental studies suggest that in multisensory conditions, the brain performs a near-optimal Bayesian estimate of external events, giving more weight to the more reliable stimuli. However, the neural mechanisms responsible for this behavior, and its progressive maturation in a multisensory environment, are still insufficiently understood. The aim of this letter is to analyze this problem with a neural network model of audiovisual integration, based on probabilistic population coding-the idea that a population of neurons can encode probability functions to perform Bayesian inference.
