The capacity of the human brain to interpret and respond to multiple temporal scales in its
surroundings suggests that its internal interactions must also be able to operate over a broad …

Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) is widely used to assess the presence of long-range
temporal correlations in time series. Signals with long-range temporal correlations are …

Neural synchronization plays a critical role in information processing, storage, and transmission.
Characterizing the pattern of synchronization is therefore of great interest. It has recently …

… I, Maria Botcharova, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information
has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. …

Alloys with both high strength and high conductivity have been produced by mechanical
alloying. In the present study, copper was mechanically alloyed with 5, 10 and 20 at.% Nb using …

Nanocrystalline Cu and Cu–Nb alloys were prepared by the consolidation of mechanically
alloyed powder. The alloys show a microstructure with a grain size below 50nm. The …

… Using T m = 1359 K and T R = 298 K we obtain Δ ρ vac = 0.028 n Ω m. The dislocation
density also influences the resistance and this contribution to the total resistance can be …

Copper has been mechanically alloyed with the bcc structure type elements Nb and Mo in
order to obtain a material with high strength, good ductility and good electrical conductivity. In …

Nanostructured Cu–Nb composites are prepared by mechanical alloying and a subsequent
heat treatment. Up to 10 at.% Nb can be brought into solid solution by milling for 30 h at …
