Self-organisation processes in (magneto)hydrodynamic turbulence
No full textSelf-organising processes occurring in isotropic turbulence and homogeneous
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence are investigated in relation to the
stability of helical flow structures. A stability analysis of helical triad interactions
shows that compared to hydrodynamics, equilibria of the triadic evolution
equations have more instabilities with respect to perturbations on scales larger
than the characteristic scale of the system. Some of these instabilities can be
mapped to Stretch-Twist-Fold dynamo action and others to the inverse cascade
of magnetic helicity. High levels of cross-helicity are found to constrain small-scale
instabilities more than large scale instabilities and are thus expected to
have an asymmetric damping effect on forward and inverse energy transfer.
Results from a numerical investigation into the influence of helicity on energy
transfer and dissipation are consistent with this observation. The numerical
work also confirms the predictions of an approximate method describing the
Reynolds number dependence of the dimensionless dissipation coefficient for
MHD turbulence. These predictions are complemented by the derivation of
mathematically rigorous upper bounds on the dissipation rates of total energy
and cross-helicity in terms of applied external forces.
Large-scale helical flows are also found to emerge in relaminarisation events
in direct numerical simulations of isotropic hydrodynamic turbulence at low
Reynolds number, where the turbulent fluctuations suddenly collapse in favour
of a large-scale helical flow, which was identified as a phase-shifted ABC-flow.
A statistical investigation shows similarities to relaminarisation of localised
turbulence in wall-bounded parallel shear flows. The turbulent states have
an exponential survival probability indicating a memoryless process with a
characteristic lifetime, which is found to depend super-exponentially on Reynolds
number akin to well-established results for pipe and plane Couette flow. These and further similarites suggest that the phase space dynamics of isotropic
turbulence and wall-bounded shear flows are qualitatively similar and that the
relaminarisation of isotropic turbulence can also be explained by the escape from
a chaotic saddle

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in rat forebrain that bind ¹⁸F-nifene: relating PET imaging, autoradiography, and behavior
No full textNicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain are important for cognitive function; however, their specific role in relevant brain regions remains unclear. In this study, we used the novel compound ¹⁸F-nifene to examine the distribution of nAChRs in the rat forebrain, and for individual animals related the results to behavioral performance on an auditory-cognitive task. We first show negligible binding of ¹⁸F-nifene in mice lacking the β2 nAChR subunit, consistent with previous findings that ¹⁸F-nifene binds to α4β2* nAChRs. We then examined the distribution of ¹⁸F-nifene in rat using three methods: in vivo PET, ex vivo PET and autoradiography. Generally, ¹⁸F-nifene labeled forebrain regions known to contain nAChRs, and the three methods produced similar relative binding among regions. Importantly, ¹⁸F-nifene also labeled some white matter (myelinated axon) tracts, most prominently in the temporal subcortical region that contains the auditory thalamocortical pathway. Finally, we related ¹⁸F-nifene binding in several forebrain regions to each animal's performance on an auditory-cued, active avoidance task. The strongest correlations with performance after 14 days training were found for ¹⁸F-nifene binding in the temporal subcortical white matter, subiculum, and medial frontal cortex (correlation coefficients, r > 0.8); there was no correlation with binding in the auditory thalamus or auditory cortex. These findings suggest that individual performance is linked to nicotinic functions in specific brain regions, and further support a role for nAChRs in sensory-cognitive function.Peer reviewedAuthor's Manuscript is also available open access in PubMed Central: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3292694.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Bieszczad, K.
