High frequency acoustic oscillations were suggested as the source of mechanical heating in the chromosphere. In this work the radial component of the oscillations in the frequency interval 3 mHz to 22 mHz are investigated. The observations were performed using "D spectrometry on the Fe I neutral spectral line at 543:45 nm. The high frequency oscillations of different frequencies appear to be associated with different spatial scales. It seems that different sources produce high and low frequency acoustic oscillations.

AbstractHigh frequency acoustic waves have been suggested as a source of mechanical heating in the quiet solar chromosphere. To investigate this, we have observed intensity oscillations of several lines in the frequency interval 1.64-70mHz using data from the VTT Tenerife and the Dunn Solar Telescope at the National Solar Observatory. Our analysis of Fe i 543.45 nm, Fe i 543.29 nm and the G-band, indicate that the majority of oscillations are connected with the magnetic fields and do not provide sufficient mechanical flux for the heating of the chromosphere. This correlation is also observed in quiet Sun areas.

This work regards the use of cubic springs with intervals of negative stiffness, in other words, “snap-through” elements, in order to convert low-frequency ambient vibrations into high-frequency oscillations, referred to as “twinkling.” The focus of this paper is on the bifurcation of a two-mass chain that, in the symmetric system, involves infinitely many equilibria at the bifurcation point. The structure of this “eclipse bifurcation” is uncovered, and perturbations of the bifurcation are studied. The energies associated with the equilibria are examined.

This work regards the use of cubic springs with intervals of negative stiffness, in other words “snap-through” elements, in order to convert low-frequency ambient vibrations into high-frequency oscillations, referred to as “twinkling”. The focus of this paper is on a global bifurcation of a two-mass chain which, in the symmetric system, involves infinitely many equilibria at the bifurcation point. The structure of this “eclipse” bifurcation is uncovered, and perturbations of the bifurcation are studied. The energies associated with the equilibria are examined.

Exploring the manifestation of emotion in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is helpful for improving the accuracy of emotion recognition. This paper introduced the novel features based on the multiscale information analysis (MIA) of EEG signals for distinguishing emotional states in four dimensions based on Russell's circumplex model. The algorithms were applied to extract features on the DEAP database, which included multiscale EEG complexity index in the time domain, and ensemble empirical mode decomposition enhanced energy and fuzzy entropy in the frequency domain. The support vector machine and cross validation method were applied to assess classification accuracy. The classification performance of MIA methods (accuracy = 62.01%, precision = 62.03%, recall/sensitivity = 60.51%, and specificity = 82.80%) was much higher than classical methods (accuracy = 43.98%, precision = 43.81%, recall/sensitivity = 41.86%, and specificity = 70.50%), which extracted features contain similar energy based on a discrete wavelet transform, fractal dimension, and sample entropy. In this study, we found that emotion recognition is more associated with high frequency oscillations (51–100Hz) of EEG signals rather than low frequency oscillations (0.3–49Hz), and the significance of the frontal and temporal regions are higher than other regions. Such information has predictive power and may provide more insights into analyzing the multiscale information of high frequency oscillations in EEG signals.

The relationship of habitual use of visual imagery and mental rotation was investigated. Reliance on Visual Imagery scores were used to define subjects as high frequency or low frequency visualizers. During the mental rotation task, subjects indicated if a pair of 2-dimensional stimulus figures displayed on a computer screen were identical or mirror-images. Figures on the right were rotated in relation to those on the left by 0, 60, 120, or 180°. Data supported the prediction that subjects who report high use of imagery would perform the task with greater accuracy ( z=1.97, p<.05) than subjects who reported low use. The imagery groups did not differ in response latency ( z = .91, p<.36). A comparison of performance on Trials 1 to 24 with performance on Trials 115-138 indicated a learning effect in both accuracy ( z = 7.58, p<.01) and latency ( z = 9.72, p<.01) for all subjects.

Abstract From the combined Stark-Zeeman pattern of helium allowed and forbidden optical lines the frequency spectrum, the field strength and the dominant polarization of microfields were determined in a turbulent plasma. Two frequency domains of oscillations were found in a turbulent heating experiment: low-frequency oscillations with dominant polarization perpendicular to the current direction and high-frequency oscillations (f~fpe) with random polarization. The r.m.s. field strength of the oscillations is between 2 kV/cm and 10 kV/cm. The energy density of turbulent microfields amounts to 1‰ of the thermal energy density.

Fast oscillations are ubiquitous throughout the mammalian central nervous system and are especially prominent in respiratory motor outputs, including the phrenic nerves (PhNs). Some investigators have argued for an epiphenomenological basis for PhN high-frequency oscillations because phrenic motoneurons (PhMNs) firing at these same frequencies have never been recorded, although their existence has never been tested systematically. Experiments were performed on 18 paralyzed, unanesthetized, decerebrate adult rats in which whole PhN and individual PhMN activity were recorded. A novel method for evaluating unit-nerve time-frequency coherence was applied to PhMN and PhN recordings. PhMNs were classified according to their maximal firing rate as high, medium, and low frequency, corresponding to the analogous bands in PhN spectra. For the first time, we report the existence of PhMNs firing at rates corresponding to high-frequency oscillations during eupneic motor output. The majority of PhMNs fired only during inspiration, but a small subpopulation possessed tonic activity throughout all phases of respiration. Significant time-varying PhMN-PhN coherence was observed for all PhMN classes. High-frequency, early-recruited units had significantly more consistent onset times than low-frequency, early/middle-recruited and medium-frequency, middle/late-recruited PhMNs. High- and medium-frequency PhMNs had significantly more consistent offset times than low-frequency units. This suggests that startup and termination of PhMNs with higher firing rates are more precisely controlled, which may contribute to the greater PhMN-PhN coherence at the beginning and end of inspiration. Our findings provide evidence that near-synchronous discharge of PhMNs firing at high rates may underlie fast oscillations in PhN discharge.

Starting from the hydrodynamic equations for a cold electron fluid, we develop a theory of the ponderomotive effect of the interaction of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation with a magneto-active plasma. Using the method of averaging on high-frequency oscillations, we obtain expressions for the low- frequency nonlinear currents. We also obtain an equation describing the space–time evolution of a quasi-stationary magnetic field in the plasma.
