A new face of sleep: The impact of post-learning sleep on recognition memory for face-name associations by Maurer, L, Zitting, K, Elliott, K, al., E

“…Twelve hours later, they were shown each face twice, once with the correct and once with an incorrect name, and asked if each face-name combination was correct and to rate their confidence. In one condition the 12-h interval between presentation and recall included an 8-h nighttime sleep opportunity (“Sleep”), while in the other condition they remained awake (“Wake”). …”

Modelling and prediction of blockage effects on the operation of tidal turbines by Koh, Martin Wei Xiang

“…A series of works have been performed to better understand the effects of channel blockage on the performance and wake recovery of tidal turbines. The prediction of the performance of tidal turbines operating under blocked conditions has also been studied. …”

Flow And Turbulence Characteristics Through A Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Using Eddy Covariance Method by H’ng , Yin Mun

“…Vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is claimed to be effective in low wind speed conditions. The objectives of this research are to assess the turbulence and flow characteristics of upwind and wake of a VAWT based on different flow speeds, to determine the lateral and vertical profiles of upwind and in the wake of a VAWT and to determine the spectral characteristics of turbulence in the wake of VAWT using the eddy covariance method. …”

Circadian and Multi-day Rhythms in Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure: A Probabilistic Approach by Zhang, Boyu

“…Also, various types of epilepsy have distinctive timing patterns with respect to sleep-wake cycles. However, it remains inconclusive how sleep parameters, non-invasive ambulatory physiological signals, and seizure occurrences are quantitatively related. …”

Vortex-induced vibrations of a long flexible cylinder in shear flow by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Bourguet, Remi, Karniadakis, George E.

“…The occurrence of lock-in disrupts the spanwise regularity of the cellular patterns observed in the wake of stationary cylinders in shear flow. The wake exhibits an oblique vortex shedding pattern, inclined in the direction of the travelling wave component of the cylinder vibrations. …”

A 256 pixel, 21.6 μW infrared gesture recognition processor for smart devices by Ba, Ngoc Le, Oh, Sechang, Sylvester, Dennis, Kim, Tony Tae-Hyoung

“…IR compatible detecting algorithms are introduced to reduce power consumption and provide accurate detections for various types of gestures including sweeping in 8 directions, zooming in/out and a unique wake-up gesture. To further reduce the power, the proposed algorithm is capable of setting the processor into idle mode when there is no motion and resume active mode upon wake-up request. …”

Sleep-dependent memory consolidation and accelerated forgetting. by Atherton, K, Nobre, A, Zeman, A, Butler, C

“…Indeed, the patients performed significantly more poorly than the controls only in the wake condition and not the sleep condition. Patients were matched to controls on learning rate, initial retention, and the effect of time of day on cognitive performance. …”

Adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is associated with alterations in circadian rhythms at the behavioural, endocrine and molecular levels. by Baird, A, Coogan, A, Siddiqui, A, Donev, R, Thome, J

“…Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults is associated with impaired sleep, and it has been postulated that this impairment may contribute to the psychopathology of this common condition. One key driver of sleep/wake cycles is the circadian system, which at the molecular level consists of a series of transcriptional feedback loops of clock genes, which in turn produce endocrine, physiological and behavioural outputs with a near 24 h periodicity. …”

Measurement of crack bridging stresses in environment-assisted cracking of duplex stainless by synchrotron diffraction by Marrow, T, Steuwer, A, Mohammed, F, Engelberg, D, Sarwar, M

“…Crack propagation studies have been conducted in age-hardened Zeron 100 duplex stainless steel, which in the 475 °C embrittled condition exhibits environment-assisted cracking under cathodic conditions in aqueous 3.5% NaCl solution. …”

Tidal turbine performance in the offshore environment by Fleming, C, Conor Fleming

“…</p> <p>Subsequently, a full scale axial flow turbine is modelled in a variety of conditions representative of tidal channel flows. A parametric study is carried out to investigate the effects of flow shear, confinement and alignment on turbine performance, structural loading, and wake recovery. …”

Validation of an actuator line method for tidal turbine rotors by Wimshurst, A, Willden, R

“…The nacelle and near wake mesh refinement are shown to have little influence on the computed blade loads but a significant impact on the near wake flow field. …”

Bioelectronic Zeitgebers: targeted neuromodulation to re-establish circadian rhythms by Deli, A, Zamora, M, Fleming, JE, Divanbeighi Zand, A, Banjaber, M, Green, AL, Denison, T

“…Existing neurostimulation systems implanted for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders generally deliver invariable therapy parameters, regardless of phase of the sleep/wake cycle. However, there is considerable evidence that brain activity in these conditions varies according to this cycle, with discrete patterns of dysfunction linked to loss of circadian rhythmicity, worse clinical outcomes and impaired patient quality of life. …”

Electroencephalographic and autonomic alterations in subjects with frequent nightmares during pre-and post-REM periods. by Simor, P, Körmendi, J, Horváth, K, Gombos, F, Ujma, P, Bódizs, R

“…These differences were not mediated by waking levels of trait anxiety. Moreover, in both groups, significant differences emerged regarding cortical and motor (muscle tone) activity between pre-REM and post-REM conditions, reflecting the heterogeneity of NREM sleep. …”
