Neuronal oscillations and functional connectivity of paced nostril breathing: A high-density EEG study. by Anita B Frohlich, Flavio Frohlich, Miriam Sklerov

“…Controlling nostril airflow through hand manipulations is an ancient yoga technique that has been suggested to provide targeted modulation of neuronal excitability and regulation of autonomic function, which is known to be lateralized in the brain. Here, we examined if unilateral and alternate nostril breathing differentially impacts brain network oscillations measured by high-density EEG in healthy control participants with no prior experience in breathing techniques. …”

Modeling of low-frequency acoustic NDE to detect delaminations in multilayer polymer-composite structures by Shun Hsyung Chang, Sergey Shevtsov, Valeriy Chebanenko, Natalie Snezhina

“…The dispersion analysis of antisymmetric (A0) and symmetric (S0) Lamb waves and horizontally polarized shear waves (SH0) for such a panel, with given engineering constants, and subsequent finite element (FE) study showed that only A0 waves generated at sound frequencies can be used for delamination diagnostics by registering of out-of-plane velocities at surface points of the tested structure using a simple laser vibrometer. It is shown that due to sufficient sensitivity, noise immunity, and reliability, the proposed method of acoustic testing of thin-walled composite parts can be effectively used in production conditions.…”
