description: We assert in the course of this work that silicon photonics has the potential to be a key disruptive technology in computing and communication industries. The enduring pursuit of performance gains in computing, combined with stringent power constraints, has fostered the ever-growing computational parallelism associated with chip multiprocessors, memory systems, high-performance computing systems, and data centers. Sustaining these parallelism growths introduces unique challenges for on- and off-chip communications, shifting the focus toward novel and fundamentally different communication approaches. This work showcases that chip-scale photonic interconnection networks, enabled by high-performance silicon photonic devices, enable unprecedented bandwidth scalability with reduced power consumption. We demonstrate that the silicon photonic platforms have already produced all the high-performance photonic devices required to realize these types of networks. Through extensive empirical characterization in much of this work, we demonstrate such feasibility of waveguides, modulators, switches, and photodetectors. We also demonstrate systems that simultaneously combine many functionalities to achieve more complex building blocks. Furthermore, we leverage the unique properties of available silicon photonic materials to create novel silicon photonic devices, subsystems, network topologies, and architectures to enable unprecedented performance of these photonic interconnection networks and computing systems. We show that the advantages of photonic interconnection networks extend far beyond the chip, offering advanced communication environments for memory systems, high-performance computing systems, and data centers. Furthermore, we explore the immense potential of all-optical functionalities implemented using parametric processing in the silicon platform, demonstrating unique methods that have the ability to revolutionize computation and communication. Silicon photonics enables new sets of opportunities that we can leverage for performance gains, as well as new sets of challenges that we must solve. Leveraging its inherent compatibility with standard fabrication techniques of the semiconductor industry, combined with its capability of dense integration with advanced microelectronics, silicon photonics also offers a clear path toward commercialization through low-cost mass-volume production. Combining empirical validations of feasibility, demonstrations of massive performance gains in large-scale systems, and the potential for commercial penetration of silicon photonics, the impact of this work will become evident in the many decades that follow.

description: To test predictions of the extended process model of emotion regulation, we conducted a pre-registered replication and extension of Sheppes et al.’s Study 3 ([2014]. Emotion regulation choice: A conceptual framework and supporting evidence. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 143(1), 163–181. doi:10.1037/a0030831) on the effects of intensity and temporal goal on reappraisal choice. In the original study, participants chose reappraisal over distraction more in response to low intensity stimuli than high intensity stimuli and when given a long-term emotion regulation goal than an immediate emotion regulation goal. We attempted a replication in a larger sample and extended the research to test whether individual differences in the tendency to consider future consequences of one’s actions (CFC) would moderate the effect of goal on emotion regulation choice. We replicated the effects of intensity, but not temporal goal, on choice. CFC interacted with temporal goal: participants low in CFC chose reappraisal more often if given a short-term goal than a long-term goal, but participants high in CFC chose reappraisal more often if given a long-term goal than a short-term goal. Although the effects of temporal goal did not replicate, our results suggest that it may interact with individual differences to influence emotion regulation choice. These findings contribute to a growing interest in factors that influence emotion regulation behaviour.

description: Das letzte Viertel des 18. Jahrhunderts, als LAVOISIER (1743-1794) die Verbrennung als Verbindungsbildung mit dem Sauerstoff erkannte, wird im Allgemeinen als Beginn des Zeitalters der quantitativen Untersuchungen in der Chemie angesehen. Mit der alten Probierkunst mussten jedoch schon lange vorher genaueste quantitative Analysenmethoden angewendet werden.
Im Buch VII seines Werkes De re metallica libri XII beschreibt AGRICOLA die Probierverfahren wie folgt: Doch die bereits geschmolzenen Metalle pflegen wir zu probieren, so daß wir in Erfahrung bringen können, wie groß der Anteil Silber in einem Zentner Kupfer oder Blei ist oder welchen kleinen Teil Gold ein Pfund Silber in sich enthält; [...] Ja, ein solcher Versuch lehrt, ob Münzen echt oder unecht sind und stellt mit Sicherheit das Silber fest, wenn davon mehr als recht ist die Münzer dem Golde beigemischt haben; oder Kupfer, wenn dieselben dieses mehr, als sie dürfen, mit dem Gold oder Silber legiert haben; [...]
Nach LAZARUS ERCKER ist das Probieren eine Kunst, die lehrt, welche und wie viel an Metallen die Bergarten enthalten, wie die Metalle zu trennen und wie die Verunreinigungen zu entfernen sind. Auch bei den Münzwerken, dort also, wo aus Gold und Silber Geld gemacht wird, ist dem Probieren neben den scharfsinnigen, dazu gehörigen Berechnungen keineswegs zu entraten, sondern höchst notwendig.
In der Probiertechnik findet man bereits alle notwendigen Elemente der Analytik:
- vorschriftsmäßige und identische Probenahme
- genaue Einwägung
- Beherrschung des Trennungsganges
- Doppelbestimmungen
- Genaue Endwägung
- Berechnungen
Cycloning of tailing for the production of sand as TSF construction material
Creators: name: Kujawa, Christian
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Hydro-cycloning of plant tailings is an often used tool to produce relatively coarse free draining sand (cyclone underflow) for Tailing Storage Facility (TSF) embankment construction. This paper outlines the available choices and design considerations involved for the minimization of sand production costs by cyclone, looking among others at parameters such as sand yield, water recovery, and consistency of sand quality. A number of changes in drivers to the disposal of tailings make this a relevant subject. Previously not as specifically managed and regulated, the sand quality specification has become considerably more stringent. This and the generally finer grind required for more difficult and lower grade ores often requires double stage cycloning to produce the necessary sand quality. At the same time there have been new advances in cyclone technology. In many parts of the world a shortage of water impacts mining projects. As water is an inherent part of the hydro-cyclone operation, the sand production by cyclone is an integral part of the water management of a tailing management facility.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]
Wick Rotation, Regularization of Propagators by a Complex Metric and Multidimensional Cosmology

description: The Wick rotation in quantum field theory is considered in terms of analytical continuation in the signature matrix parameter w = eta_00. Regularization of propagators by a complex metric parameter in most cases preserves (i) the convergence of Feynmann integrals (understood as Lebesgue integrals) if the corresponding integrals of Euclidean theory are convergent; (ii) the regularity of propagators in the coordinate representation if there is regularity in the Euclidean case. The well-known covariant regularization by a complex mass does not in general satisfy these conditions. Theories with a large family of propagators regularized by complex metric were previously considered by the author, and analogues of the Bogoliubov-Parasiuk-Hepp-Zimmermann theorems were proved. [V.D.Ivashchuk, Izv. Akad. Nauk Mold. SSR, Ser. Fiz.-Tekhn. i Math. Nauk, 3 (1987), 8; 1 (1988), 10]. This paper shows that in the case of multidimensional cosmology describing the evolution of n spaces M_i, i = 1, ..., n, the Wick rotation in the minisuperspace may be performed by analytical continuation in the dimensions N_i = dim M_i or in the dimension of the time submanifold M_0.

description: Prägeberechtigten Ständen, die ihre Münzproduktion gegenseitig auf den inneren Gehalt überprüfen wollen oder sollen, bietet sich die Einrichtung einer gemeinsamen Veranstaltung, eines Münzprobationstages, an. Nach dem Vorbild des Rheinischen Münzvereins wurde diese Institution auf den Reformreichstagen empfohlen und gelangte in die drei Reichsmünzordnungen und die Probationsordnungen. Nach mehreren Anläufen konnten sich Probationstage in acht von zehn Reichskreisen langfristig etablieren.
Hauptaufgabe war die Untersuchung der aktuellen Münzproduktion auf Schrot und Korn, wie sie in den Fahrbüchsen von den einzelnen Ständen vorgelegt wurde. Daneben wurden auch Stichproben von eigenen und fremden Geldstücken aus dem Zahlungsverkehr auf ihren inneren Wert geprüft. Schließlich waren sowohl die Bewerber auf das Kreisamt des Generalmünzwardeins als auch die von den Einzelständen angenommenen Münzmeister und Spezialwardeine zu examinieren und zu vereidigen.
Wie liefen nun solche Probationskonvente in administrativer Hinsicht ab, wer hatte die Veranstaltung zu besuchen, wonach wurde die Tagesordnung bestimmt, nach welchen Regeln wurden die Münzen untersucht, wie wurde in Streitfällen verfahren, auf welche Art die Ergebnisse publiziert? An welchen Orten wurde getagt, wie lange dauerten die einzelnen Zusammenkünfte, in welcher Regelmäßigkeit fanden sie statt? In welcher Beziehung standen die Probationstage zu den Kreistagen, auf denen ebenfalls Münzangelegenheiten verhandelt werden konnten? Wie lange hatte die Einrichtung Bestand, und welche Änderungen ergaben sich bis zum Ende des Alten Reiches? Darüber geben neben dem Wortlaut der Probationsordnungen auch die Protokolle, Abschiede und Probationsregister, aber auch Instruktionen für die Gesandten und Berichte von Teilnehmern Auskunft.

description: The electroproduction of rho mesons is studied at HERA with the H1 detector at high Q^2 and high |t|. Cross sections are measured as a function of Q^2, W and t. The W dependence of the gamma*-p cross section is observed to increase with Q^2 from values compatible with soft Pomeron exchange at low Q^2 to a hard dependence at large Q^2. Spin density matrix elements are measured and their dependence is compared with a two gluon exchange model.

description: In dem auf der Stolberger Tagung vorgestellten Glossar zum frühneuhochdeutschen Fachwortschatz in Münztechnik und Münzverwaltung waren Münzstätteninventare eine der wichtigsten Quellengruppen. Sie geben Auskunft über die in der Münzstätte vorhandenen Werkzeuge und Gegenstände des täglichen Bedarfs. Es lag nun nahe, diese Inventare nicht nur auf ihren Wortschatz, sondern auch auf ihren Inhalt hin anzusehen. Das soll hier am Beispiel der Inventare habsburgischer Münzstätten geschehen. Ziel ist es, herauszuarbeiten, ob es eine charakteristische Typologie des Münzstätteninventars gibt. Ähnlich, wie es bei dem erwähnten Glossar die erklärte Absicht war, Hilfestellung beim Verstehen und Analysieren regionaler numismatischer Quellen zu geben, könnte auch diese Untersuchung helfen, weitere Inventare deutscher Münzstätten des späten Mittelalters oder der frühen Neuzeit besser einzuschätzen und zu verstehen.
Als Grundlage dienten hier acht Inventare, die im Druck vorliegen. Für das Glossar war das eine Bedingung, um dem Nutzer ein Nachlesen zu ermöglichen; das Gleiche gilt auch für diese Untersuchung, die ohne den Abdruck des Textes der Inventare auszukommen hat. Im Anhang findet sich eine Liste der Quellen mit kurzem Regest und mit Angabe des Zitats, wo der vollständige Text nachzulesen ist. Die acht Inventare entstammen dem Jahrhundert zwischen 1548 und 1649. Natürlich wird es in den Archiven eine Reihe weiterer ähnlicher Dokumente geben; wollte man diese aber in gleicher Weise analysieren, so sollte man sie gleichzeitig auch im Druck vorlegen, was sich sicher lohnen würde. Trotzdem scheinen die hier zugrunde gelegten acht Inventare des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts für eine erste Analyse eine geeignete Grundlage darzustellen.

description: We derive a new version of the non-Abelian Stokes theorem for the Wilson loop in the SU(N) case by making use of the coherent state representation on the coset space $SU(N)/U(1)^{N-1}=F_{N-1}$, the flag space. We consider the SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the maximal Abelian gauge in which SU(N) is broken down to $U(1)^{N-1}$. First, we show that the Abelian dominance in the string tension follows from this theorem and the Abelian-projected effective gauge theory that was derived by one of the authors. Next (but independently), combining the non-Abelian Stokes theorem with a novel reformulation of the Yang-Mills theory recently proposed by one of the authors, we proceed to derive the area law of the Wilson loop in four-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in the maximal Abelian gauge. Owing to dimensional reduction, the planar Wilson loop at least for the fundamental representation in four-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory can be estimated by the diagonal (Abelian) Wilson loop defined in the two-dimensional $CP^{N-1}$ model. This derivation shows that the fundamental quarks are confined by a single species of magnetic monopole. The origin of the area law is related to the geometric phase of the Wilczek-Zee holonomy for $U(N-1)$. The calculations are performed using the instanton calculus (in the dilute instanton-gas approximation) and using the large $N$ expansion (in the leading order).

description: The solutions recommended by the Presidential Commission for the improvement of the healthcare system financing are focused on three main directions: increasing the level of funding for the Romanian healthcare sector; development of a healthcare resource allocation system based on transparent criteria and medical evidence; introduction and support of payment mechanisms based on efficiency and quality of care. To rectify the deficiencies related to the organization of the health system the Commission recommended the following: reorganization of the health care system with organizational and decisional decentralization; development of the quality assurance system in the healthcare field; redesign of the healthcare information system. The interventions proposed by the Commission for the rationalization of drug consumption and the improvement of the cost-efficiency in this field are: improvement of the process of establishing the content of the reimbursed medicines list; adjustment of the reimbursement and pricing rules in order to ensure a cost-efficient use of public resources; development of a monitoring system for medicines prescribing and dispensing, correlated with incentives for rational use of medicines.

description: Eine seltene, sehr umfangreiche archivalische Überlieferung, die bisher kaum aus der Sicht der Geldherstellung wissenschaftlich bearbeitet wurde, macht es möglich, die historischen Prägewerkstätten in Stolberg sowohl in ihrer Ausstattung als auch von den Arbeitsabläufen her zu rekonstruieren. Die Münzprägung in der Grafschaft Stolberg gilt seit KARL FRIEDERICHS umfangreichem Standardwerk Die Münzen und Medaillen des Hauses Stolberg und die Geschichte seines Münzwesens als bearbeitet (Dresden 1911, Nachdruck Bielefeld 1974). FRIEDERICHS Gegenstand waren die Münzen, die technologischen Abläufe bei ihrer Herstellung beachtete er nur am Rande. Aber gerade dieses Problem stand im Mittelpunkt der Diskussion zu einer Konzeption für das Museum ALTE MÜNZE. Die Technologie der Münzherstellung und damit letztendlich die detaillierte Einrichtung der Werkstatträume warf eine Reihe von Fragen auf. Der Goldschmied und Metallrestaurator ULRICH SIEBLIST, der sich mit technischen Problemen der Stolberger Werkstatt beschäftigte und den Aufbau der Produktionsräume begleitete, veröffentlichte im Begleitband zur Ausstellung einen ersten Aufsatz. Die archivalische Erschließung des umfangreichen Bestandes zur Stolberger Bergbau- und Münzgeschichte war damit noch nicht abgeschlossen. Im Folgenden sollen einige Aspekte der Arbeitsorganisation der Stolberger Werkstatt in der Zeit von 1750-1792 erläutert werden, so die personelle Ausstattung, die Arbeitsorganisation und die Ausrüstung der Werkstatt.

description: In this paper, we divide the globe into a hexagonal grid and we extracted time series of daily fire counts from each cell to estimate and analyze worldwide fire season severity (FSS), here defined as the accumulated fire detections in a season. The central question here is evaluating the accuracy of time series forecasting methods to estimate short-term (months) and medium-term (seasons) using only historical data of active fire detections. This approach is simple, fast, and use globally available data, making it easier for large scale prediction. Our results comprehend descriptive and predictive analyses of the worldwide seasonal fire activity. We verified that in 99% of the cells, the fire seasons have lengths shorter than seven months and that 57% have their lengths decrease. We also observed a declining tendency in the number of active fire counts during the seasons in 61% cells. However, some regions like the Northeast Brazil and the West Coast of the USA present an increasing trend. We verified that the forecasting error is lower than the mean FSS in 95% of the cells, indicating clear predictability in the FSS.

description: A brief analysis of the dynamics of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with a conformally coupled, real, self-interacting, massive scalar field, based on the Painleve theory of differential equations, is presented. Our results complete earlier works done within the framework of Dynamical System Theory. We conclude that, in general, the system will not be integrable and that the chaos that has been found in a previous work, arises from the presence of movable logarithmic branch points in the solution in the complex plane of time.

Ratios of branching fractions of Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored processes involving D_CP are determined to be B(B- -> D_1 K-)/B(B- -> D_1 pi-)=0.125 +- 0.036 +- 0.010 and B(B- -> D_2 K-)/B(B- -> D_2 pi-)=0.119 +- 0.028 +- 0.006, where indices 1 and 2 represent the CP=+1 and CP=-1 eigenstates of the D0 - anti D0 system, respectively. We also extract the partial rate asymmetries for B+- -> D_CP K+-, finding A_1 = 0.29 +- 0.26 +- 0.05 and A_2 = -0.22 +- 0.24 +- 0.04.

description: The amplified spontaneous emission spectrum of the light field in the non-lasing supermode of two coupled semiconductor lasers is analyzed using linearized Langevin equations. It is shown that the interference betweeen the laser mode and the fluctuating light field in the non-lasing mode causes spatial holeburning. This effect introduces a phase sensitive coupling between the laser field and the fluctuations in the non-lasing mode. For high laser fields, this coupling splits the spectrum of the non-lasing mode into a triplet consisting of two relaxation oscillation sidebands which are in phase with the laser light and a center line at the lasing frequency with a phase shift of pi half relative to the laser light. As the laser intensity is increased close to threshold, the spectrum shows a continuous transition from the single amplified spontaneous emission line at the frequency of the laser mode to the triplet structure. An analytical expression for this transition is derived and typical features are discussed.

description: Fairbanks Gold Mining, Inc. (FGMI) owns and operates the Fort Knox gold mine and mill, which has been in production since 1996. Tailing are stored behind a cross valley dam. In the summer of 2006, the tailings storage facility (TSF) dam was raised to its originally designed final crest elevation. However, in January 2009, the mill ore reserve was increased above the remaining capacity of the TSF. A site wide optimization study identified a 52-foot raise to the TSF dam as the preferred alternative for expanded capacity, but this posed a challenge. How would the raise be configured to maintain the necessary level of stability and security for the TSF given its hazard consequence classification and other site specific conditions without adopting a conventional downstream raise? The solution was to construct the 52-foot raise with partial placement of the upstream random fill shell over tailings in lieu of a downstream raise as had been the practice through 2006. The 52-foot raise then bears largely on engineered fill on the crest and upstream face of the existing dam with a modest construction onto the tailings deposited immediately to the upstream. This paper presents the design of the 52-foot raise to the Fort Knox TSF together with construction and operational experiences to date, which represents another chapter in the success of the facility.

description: The building sector is a major contributor to total energy consumption in most countries. Traditionally, researchers have focused on leveraging energy efficiency by improving building materials, in-house facilities and transmission equipment. More recently, however, there has been increased focus on research concerning demand-side energy consumption behavior. Current research suggests that energy efficient behavior of a building's occupants can be extensively enhanced through the sharing of energy consumption information among residents in a peer network. However, most of this research relies on experimental tests and does not theorize concepts related to peer network energy efficiency systematically. My dissertation addresses this research gap on two levels. First, I examined if and how the structure of peer networks can impact residents' conservation behaviors through network analysis by employing agent-based simulation techniques. Following confirmation of the impact that network structure has on user behavior, I created a layered network model to integrate information from various network layers and a block configuration model to reconstruct increasingly reliable random networks. In contrast to controlled energy efficiency experiments, real-world networks are large in size, heterogeneous in nature and regularly interact with other networks. By utilizing models developed in this dissertation, we are able to estimate the contribution of network structural coefficients to the energy consumption performance of peer networks. By comparing the layered network and block configuration model I developed with other conventional models, I prove the efficiency, accuracy and reliability of these improved models. These findings have implications for assessing network performance, creating accurate complex random networks for large-scale research, and developing strategies for network design to improve building energy efficiency. This research establishes a system to study residents' energy efficient behaviors from the perspective of peer networks and proposes some instructive models for further energy feedback system design.

Simulations of Dynamic Relativistic Magnetospheres
Creators: Parfrey, Kyle Patrick
Publisher: name: Columbia University

description: Neutron stars and black holes are generally surrounded by magnetospheres of highly conducting plasma in which the magnetic flux density is so high that hydrodynamic forces are irrelevant. In this vanishing-inertia---or ultra-relativistic---limit, magnetohydrodynamics becomes force-free electrodynamics, a system of equations comprising only the magnetic and electric fields, and in which the plasma response is effected by a nonlinear current density term. In this dissertation I describe a new pseudospectral simulation code, designed for studying the dynamic magnetospheres of compact objects. A detailed description of the code and several numerical test problems are given. I first apply the code to the aligned rotator problem, in which a star with a dipole magnetic field is set rotating about its magnetic axis. The solution evolves to a steady state, which is nearly ideal and dissipationless everywhere except in a current sheet, or magnetic field discontinuity, at the equator, into which electromagnetic energy flows and is dissipated. Magnetars are believed to have twisted magnetospheres, due to internal magnetic evolution which deforms the crust, dragging the footpoints of external magnetic field lines. This twisting may be able to explain both magnetars' persistent hard X-ray emission and their energetic bursts and flares. Using the new code, I simulate the evolution of relativistic magnetospheres subjected to slow twisting through large angles. The field lines expand outward, forming a strong current layer; eventually the configuration loses equilibrium and a dynamic rearrangement occurs, involving large-scale rapid magnetic reconnection and dissipation of the free energy of the twisted magnetic field. When the star is rotating, the magnetospheric twisting leads to a large increase in the stellar spin-down rate, which may take place on the long twisting timescale or in brief explosive events, depending on where the twisting is applied and the history of the system. One such explosive field-expansion and reconnection event may have been responsible for the 27 August 1998 giant flare from SGR 1900+14, and the coincident sudden increase in spin period, or "braking glitch." The inner magnetospheres of relativistic compact objects are in strongly curved spacetimes. I describe the extension of the code to general-relativistic simulations, including the hypersurface foliation method and the 3+1 equations of force-free electrodynamics in curved, evolving spacetimes. A simple test problem for dynamical behavior in the Schwarzschild metric is presented, and the evolutions of the magnetospheres surrounding neutron stars and black holes, in vacuum and in force-free plasma, are compared.
Rotating dust solutions of Einstein's equations with 3-dimensional symmetry groups; Part 1: Two Killing fields spanned on u^α and w^{α}

description: For a rotating dust with a 3-dimensional symmetry group all possible metric forms can be classified and, within each class, explicitly written out. This is made possible by the formalism of Plebański based on the Darboux theorem. In the resulting coordinates, the Killing vector fields (if any exist) assume a special form. Each Killing vector field may be either spanned on the fields of velocity and rotation or linearly independent of them. By considering all such cases one arrives at the classification. With respect to the structures of the groups, this is just the Bianchi classification, but with all possible orientations of the orbits taken into account. In this paper, which is part 1 of a 3-part series, all solutions are considered for which two Killing fields are spanned on velocity and rotation. The solutions of Lanczos and Gödel are identified as special cases, and their new invariant definitions are provided. In addition, a new invariant definition is given of the Ozsvath class III solution.

description: In an edge-coloring of a cubic graph, an edge is poor or rich, if the set of colors assigned to the edge and the four edges adjacent it, has exactly five or exactly three distinct colors, respectively. An edge is normal in an edge-coloring if it is rich or poor in this coloring. A normal $k$-edge-coloring of a cubic graph is an edge-coloring with $k$ colors such that each edge of the graph is normal. We denote by $χ'_{N}(G)$ the smallest $k$, for which $G$ admits a normal $k$-edge-coloring. Normal edge-colorings were introduced by Jaeger in order to study his well-known Petersen Coloring Conjecture. It is known that proving $χ'_{N}(G)\leq 5$ for every bridgeless cubic graph is equivalent to proving Petersen Coloring Conjecture. Moreover, Jaeger was able to show that it implies classical conjectures like Cycle Double Cover Conjecture and Berge-Fulkerson Conjecture. Recently, two of the authors were able to show that any simple cubic graph admits a normal $7$-edge-coloring, and this result is best possible. In the present paper, we show that any claw-free bridgeless cubic graph, permutation snark, tree-like snark admits a normal $6$-edge-coloring. Finally, we show that any bridgeless cubic graph $G$ admits a $6$-edge-coloring such that at least $\frac{7}{9}\cdot |E|$ edges of $G$ are normal.

description: Simultaneous estimates of the activity in the left and right auditory cortex of five normal human subjects were extracted from Multichannel Magnetoencephalography recordings. Left, right and binaural stimulation were used, in separate runs, for each subject. The resulting time-series of left and right auditory cortex activity were analysed using the concept of mutual information. The analysis constitutes an objective method to address the nature of inter-hemispheric correlations in response to auditory stimulations. The results provide a clear evidence for the occurrence of such correlations mediated by a direct information transport, with clear laterality effects: as a rule, the contralateral hemisphere leads by 10-20ms, as can be seen in the average signal. The strength of the inter-hemispheric coupling, which cannot be extracted from the average data, is found to be highly variable from subject to subject, but remarkably stable for each subject.
