Electroencephalographic studies of meditative states have been conducted for nearly 50 years, but no clear consensus has emerged about the neurophysiological changes underlying the practice of meditation. EEG 8-channel registration was performed on expert and novice meditators. A spectral analysis of the signals and a spectral entropy analysis was performed. Relevant neurophysiological differences were found between expert and novice meditators in the Alpha and Theta frequency bands and the entropy levels in each signal, that allow objective evaluation of the progression of meditation. These changes are especially noticeable in the prefrontal cortex. Changes in the states of the Alpha and Theta frequency bands may be associated with increased experience in meditation practice. Spectral entropy can serve as an indicator of long-term therapy progression.","PeriodicalId":272652,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 39th Central America and Panama Convention (CONCAPAN XXXIX)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127747781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of the requested test SNMP vs Syslog was executed to get a kind of benchmark when managing the proposed network.

Digital representation of those components through the definition of the corresponding description models starts in the early design phase of the engineering process. The model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach promotes increased reusability of component models and allows an automatic generation of the system of interest model and its validation through simulation, which results in a shorter design phase. However, existing solutions for CPS description models contain mainly skills and functionalities of the component from a task-oriented perspective to achieve platform-independent code generation for the components control. Semantic information in the skills description usually is completely absent or present only to the extent, which is not enough to match the corresponding components to the product requirements and necessary production processes. Instead, production cell components are manually assigned to the manufacturing processes, which are required for the product. This manual step hinders the automatic production cell model generation based on the product requirements. To allow automatic matching from product descriptions to specific CPSs, a new approach to CPS description is necessary. This description should allow the entirely automatic generation of production cell models through the matching of CPS skills and product requirements. In this paper, a semantic metamodel for CPS is presented. This metamodel enriches CPS models with high-granularity graph-based skill descriptions, which, in combination with the appropriate manufacturing process descriptions, allow automatic matching for production planning and further simulation and ontimization.","PeriodicalId":272652,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 39th Central America and Panama Convention (CONCAPAN XXXIX)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123781040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show a significant difference between the rankings that only take into account the number of publications, with the ranking developed in the present work considering the size of the universities.
