In [23] the authors proved that since the SUs may not be time synchronized, the duration of a time slot of at least 2τ ensures that the overlap of any two slots is sufficient to complete the rendezvous process.
A time interval was considered synchronized for a duration in which SD values remained below the threshold.
Alternans was compared in the recordings made simultaneously from two adjacent cardiac regions and labeled as either concordant, if the APs with the larger duration were synchronized, or discordant, if the APs with the larger duration in one region were synchronized with the APs with the shorter duration in a neighboring area.
Note that in the conventional SES, the mesh coordinator establishes regions in which the data transmission process stops when no more nodes are synchronized during the active duration (AD).
As feeding on LF82 did not prevent the formation of nematode progeny (data not shown), we used the temperature-sensitive germ-line mutant glp-4 in order to ensure a defined number of age synchronized nematodes for the duration of the killing experiments.
Animals were synchronized by restricting the duration of egg-laying (placing gravid adults on plates for 6 hr, removing the parents, and selecting L4s 3 days later), grown at 20 °C on standard NGM plates, and fed OP50 bacteria until their mid L4int larva stage.
In test sessions, a white circle (400 ms in duration) was presented twice with 500 ms of SOA, synchronized with two tone bursts (50 ms duration).
Because the phase-shifted animals were not synchronized to the light cycle, the duration of the activity/rest cycle was equal to control animals, but the percentage of activity confined to the dark phase was decreased.
iPSC-derived beating EBs were dissociated and seeded onto multi-electrode chambers to form synchronized monolayers for recording field potential duration (FPD), beating frequency (beats per minute, BPM) and interspike intervals (ISI).
The effect extended beyond the duration of the treatment and was synchronized with the resting and foraging period over the next 24 h.
Spike-timing precision is expressed as vector strength (VS) measuring how well spikes are synchronized to the click stimulus relative to the duration of the repetition period (see Materials and Methods).
