Fractional integration and optimal estimates for elliptic systems by Hernandez, Felipe, Spector, Daniel

“…In this paper we give an affirmative answer to the Euclidean analogue of a question of Bourgain and Brezis concerning the optimal Lorentz estimate for a Div–Curl system: If $$F \in L^1(\mathbb {R}^3;\mathbb {R}^3)$$ F ∈ L 1 ( R 3 ; R 3 ) satisfies $$\text {div}F=0$$ div F = 0 in the sense of distributions, then the function $$Z=\text {curl} (-\Delta )^{-1} F$$ Z = curl ( - Δ ) - 1 F satisfies $$\begin{aligned} \text {curl } Z&= F \\ \text {div } Z&= 0 \end{aligned}$$ curl Z = F div Z = 0 and there exists a constant $$C>0$$ C > 0 such that $$\begin{aligned} \Vert Z\Vert _{L^{3/2,1}(\mathbb {R}^3;\mathbb {R}^3)} \le C\Vert F\Vert _{L^{1}(\mathbb {R}^3;\mathbb {R}^3)}. …”

Analysis of brain signals by Tan, Yi Bing

“…The numerous brainwave states include Gamma (30-70 Hz), Beta (13-30 Hz), Alpha (8-12 Hz), Theta (4-8 Hz) and Delta (0.5-4 Hz). It is observed that each particular state of brainwave changes the state of consciousness in us and has a very close relationship and diverse effect on the overall health condition. …”
