2018Co-Authors: Sarah K. Mesrobian, Alessandro E. P. Villa, Michel Bader, Lorenz Götte, Alessandra LintasAbstract:Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by deficits in executive functions and decision making during childhood and adolescence. Contradictory results exist whether altered event-related potentials (ERPs) in adults are associated with the tendency of ADHD patients toward risky behavior. Clinically diagnosed ADHD patients (n = 18) and healthy controls (n = 18), aged between 18 and 29 (median 22 Yo), were screened with the Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales and assessed by the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview, adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, and by the 60-item HEXACO Personality Inventory. The characteristic personality traits of ADHD patients were the high level of impulsiveness associated with lower values of agreeableness. All participants performed a probability gambling task (PGT) with two frequencies of the feedback information of the outcome. For each trial, ERPs were triggered by the self-paced trial onset and by the gamble selection. After trial onset, N2-P3a ERP component associated with the attentional load peaked earlier in the ADHD group than in controls. An N500 component related to the feedback Frequency Condition after trial onset and an N400-like component after gamble selection suggest a large affective stake of the decision making and an emphasized post-decisional evaluation of the choice made by the ADHD participants. By combining ERPs, related to the emotions associated with the feedback Frequency Condition, and behavioral analyses during completion of PGT, this study provides new findings on the neural dynamics that differentiate controls and young ADHD adults. In the patients' group, we raise the hypothesis that the activity of frontocentral and centroparietal neural circuits drive the decision-making processes dictated by an impaired cognitive workload followed by the build-up of large emotional feelings generated by the conflict toward the outcome of the gambling choice. Our results can be used for new investigations aimed at studying the fine spatiotemporal distribution of cortical activity, and the neural circuits that underly the generation of that activity, associated with the behavioral deficits characteristic of ADHD.

core loss analysis of finemet type nanocrystalline alloy ribbon with different thickness
Progress in Natural Science: Materials International, 2017Co-Authors: Kefu YaoAbstract:Abstract Nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials are widely used in power electronic applications due to their high permeability, magnetization and low core loss. In this paper, Fe 73.5 Cu 1 Nb 3 Si 15.5 B 7 (at%) nanocrystalline alloy ribbons, with ultra-thin thickness of 14 µm, and also 18 and 22 µm, were prepared by a planar flow casting method with a single roller device. Soft magnetic properties of these ribbons were analyzed after nanocrystallization annealing. The experiments were conducted on toroidal samples using IWATSU B-H Analyzer over a Frequency range of 10–100 kHz, at induction amplitudes of 100–500 mT, at room temperature. It was found that the excess eddy current loss P ex was the dominant factor in the overall core loss above 10 kHz. The toroidal samples made of the 14 µm thickness ribbon exhibit very low total core loss of 48 W/kg at a Frequency of 100 kHz and magnetic flux density of 300 mT. The ratio of the P ex was up to 89% at 100 kHz. The ribbon with lower thickness exhibits lower P ex and therefore lower total core loss. The domain structure evidences were found. It indicates that the ribbons with small thickness are preferable for application in high Frequency Condition.

Soft magnetic properties of these ribbons were analyzed after nanocrystallization annealing. The experiments were conducted on toroidal samples using IWATSU B-H Analyzer over a Frequency range of 10â100 kHz, at induction amplitudes of 100â500 mT, at room temperature. It was found that the excess eddy current loss Pex was the dominant factor in the overall core loss above 10 kHz. The toroidal samples made of the 14 µm thickness ribbon exhibit very low total core loss of 48 W/kg at a Frequency of 100 kHz and magnetic flux density of 300  mT.

increased spinal pain sensitization in major depressive disorder a pilot study
Psychiatry Research-neuroimaging, 2016Co-Authors: Andras Tikasz, Valerie Tourjman, Philippe Chalaye, Serge Marchand, Stephane PotvinAbstract:Although patients suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD) often complain from painful symptoms, the relationship between experimental pain processes and depression has yet to be clearly characterized. Only recently have studies employing temporal summation (TS) paradigms offered preliminary insight into the co-occurrence of pain and depression. This study sets out to evaluate the contribution of spinal and supraspinal processes in pain sensitization in MDD using a TS paradigm. Thirteen volunteers with no psychiatric disorders (controls) and fourteen MDD subjects were included in the analysis. Low-(0.14Hz) and high-(1Hz) Frequency intermittent stimulations of the sural nerve were used to induce TS. Spinal pain sensitization was quantified by measuring the change in the amplitude of the nociceptive-specific flexion reflex (NFR) response, and supraspinal pain sensitization was obtained by measuring change in subjective pain rating, from the low- to high-Frequency stimulation Condition. We found an increased sensitization in the NFR response (p<0.05) in MDD subjects in the high-Frequency Condition, which did not translate into an increase of their subjective responses. However, we found a positive association between spinal sensitization and painful somatic symptoms in MDD subjects. Together, these results suggest increased spinal pain sensitization in MDD, which might explain the high prevalence of painful somatic symptoms in these patients.
