Encoding of frequency-modulation (FM) rates in human auditory cortex.

abstract：:We report measurements of the thermal conductance of a structure made from commercial Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) modules, known as LEGO® blocks, in the temperature range from 70 mK to 1.8 K. A power law for the sample's thermal conductivity κ = (8.7 ± 0.3) × 10-5 T 1.75±0.02 WK-1 m-1 was determined. We conc...

abstract：:We report the observation of replica symmetry breaking (RSB) in a weakly scattering optofluidic random laser (ORL). Coherent random lasing is indicated by the presence of narrow peaks rising out of the spectral background. This coherence helps to identify a random laser threshold, which is expected to be gradual with ...
