We calculate the instantaneous firing rate of a stochastic integrate-and-fire neuron driven by an arbitrary time-dependent signal up to second order in the signal amplitude.For cosine signals, this weakly nonlinear theory reveals: (i) a frequency-dependent change of the time-averaged firing rate reminiscent of frequency locking in deterministic osc
Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have been widely used in various applications for effective radio spectrum utilization in recent years.It is essential to fend off the growing demand for this finite natural resource for next-generation communications.In CRNs, detecting the activity of the primary user requires opportunistic spectrum sensing for effi
Idiopathic generalized anhidrosis is a rare disease characterized by sweating impairment despite exposure to heat or exercise.It could be congenital or acquired.We reported a 22-year-old male with generalized anhidrosis, except axillae, forehead, palms Guitar Strings and soles, since infancy.No other systemic abnormalities were found.Histopathology
Early vigor INTEGRITY BOOSTER has been proposed as a favorable trait for cereals grown in drought-prone environments.This research aimed at characterizing early stage shoot and root growth of three Spanish barley landraces compared with three modern cultivars.Genotypes were grown in an automated phenotyping platform, GrowScreen-Rhizo, under well-wa
The persistent slump in crude oil prices on the world market has drastically reduced government revenues, weakened currencies, and threatened growth and development of countries such as Nigeria that are heavily dependent on petroleum as a source of government earnings.Therefore, it has become imperative for the government to look beyond oil, notabl
