Generation of slow phase-locked oscillation and variability of the interspike intervals in globally coupled neuronal oscillators by Ryotaro Tsuneki, Shinji Doi, Junko Inoue

“…To elucidate how a biological rhythm is regulated,the extended (three-dimensional) Bonhoeffer-van der Pol or FitzHugh-Nagumo equations are employed toinvestigate the dynamics of a population of neuronal oscillators globally coupled through a common buffer (mean field).Interesting phenomena, such as extraordinarily slow phase-locked oscillations (compared to the natural period of each neuronal oscillator)and the death of all oscillations, are observed.We demonstrate that the slow synchronization is due mainly to the existence of ``fast" oscillators.Additionally, we examine the effect of noise on the synchronization and variability of the interspike intervals.Peculiar phenomena, such as noise-induced acceleration and deceleration, are observed.The results herein suggest that very small noise may significantly influence a biological rhythm.…”

Discovery and segmentation method in micro-blog topics based on public emotional engagement analysis by Chunhua JU, Fuguang BAO, Junyan DAI

“…To improve the discovery efficiency and quality of micro-blog topic,a method of rapid discovery and segmentation in micro-blog topics based on public emotional engagement analysis was proposed,it would prompt evolution of the topics,then generate new topics and gain emotional change trend.Firstly,common emotional words were mined from corpus to build emotional thesaurus based on emotional word dictionary and TFDF.Then,emotional text was extracted quickly and sigmoid function was utilized to detect the intensive period of emotional engagement,ensuring the validity of topic mining.Besides,an improved adaptive FCM was used to cluster and discover topics.The experimental results show that this method can enhance the efficiency and quality of topic discovery in mobile environment.…”
