Dose-Dependent Sensorimotor Impairment In Human Ocular Tracking After Acute Low-Dose Alcohol Administration, Terence L. Tyson, Nathan H. Feick, Patrick F. Cravalho, Erin E. Flynn-Evans, Leland S. Stone

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Key points: Oculomotor behaviours are commonly used to evaluate sensorimotor disruption due to ethanol (EtOH). The current study demonstrates the dose-dependent impairment in oculomotor and ocular behaviours across a range of ultra-low BACs (<0.035%). Processing of target speed and direction, as well as pursuit eye movements, are significantly impaired at 0.015% BAC, suggesting impaired neural activity within brain regions associated with the visual processing of motion. Catch-up saccades during steady visual tracking of the moving target compensate for the reduced vigour of smooth eye movements that occurs with the ingestion of low-dose alcohol. Saccade dynamics start to become ‘sluggish’ at as low as 0.035% BAC. Pupillary light responses appear unaffected at BAC levels up to 0.065%. Abstract: Changes in oculomotor behaviours are often used as metrics of sensorimotor disruption due to ethanol (EtOH); however, previous studies have focused on deficits at blood-alcohol concentrations (BACs) above about 0.04%. We investigated the dose dependence of the impairment in oculomotor and ocular behaviours caused by EtOH administration across a range of ultra-low BACs (≤0.035%). We took repeated measures of oculomotor and ocular performance from sixteen participants, both pre- and post-EtOH administration. To assess the neurological impacts across a wide range of brain areas and pathways, our protocol measured 21 largely independent performance metrics extracted from a range of behavioural responses ranging from ocular tracking of radial step-ramp stimuli, to eccentric gaze holding, to pupillary responses evoked by light flashes. Our results show significant impairment of pursuit and visual motion processing at 0.015% BAC, reflecting degraded neural processing within extrastriate cortical pathways. However, catch-up saccades largely compensate for the tracking displacement shortfall caused by low pursuit gain, although there still is significant residual retinal slip and thus degraded dynamic acuity. Furthermore, although saccades are more frequent, their dynamics are more sluggish (i.e. show lower peak velocities) starting at BAC levels as low as 0.035%. Small effects in eccentric gaze holding and no effect in pupillary response dynamics were observed at levels below 0.07%, showing the higher sensitivity of the pursuit response to very low levels of blood alcohol, under the conditions of our study.

On Local Antimagic Chromatic Number Of Cycle-Related Join Graphs, Gee Choon Lau, Wai Chee Shiu, Ho Kuen Ng

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

An edge labeling of a connected graph G = (V, E) is said to be local antimagic if it is a bijection f: E → {1, |E|} such that for any pair of adjacent vertices x and y, f+(x) f+(y), where the induced vertex label f+(x) = ςf(e), with e ranging over all the edges incident to x. The local antimagic chromatic number of G, denoted by χla(G), is the minimum number of distinct induced vertex labels over all local antimagic labelings of G.

Phase Locked Loop Using Vlsi Technology: A Bibliometric Survey And Future Research Directions, Ujwala Kshirsagar, Ayushi Kamboj Ms.

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

: For the design of high frequency networks power has been one of the most significant specifications. Power usage is therefore one of the most significant challenges to microprocessor design. If we lower the supply voltage, this immediately leads to a decrease in static and dynamic power usage in order to reduce the circuit's power dissipation. Decreasing the voltage of the supply, however, often decreases the circuit's output, which is not reasonable.

The low power proposed phase locked loop (PLL) is therefore built using microwind 3.1, 45nm CMOS/VLSI technology, which, in practice, at low power, delivers high intensity output. The …
