Abstract:
We propose to show in this paper, that the time series obtained from biological systems such as human brain are invariably nonstationary because of different time scales involved in the dynamical process. This makes the invariant parameters time dependent. We made a global analysis of the EEG data obtained from the eight locations on the skull space and studied simultaneously the dynamical characteristics from various parts of the brain. We have proved that the dynamical parameters are sensitive to the time scales and hence in the study of brain one must identify all relevant time scales involved in the process to get an insight in the working of brain.

Abstract:
The effect of the chemisorbed hydroxyl groups on the thermal diffusivity of gama alumina is determined
by evaluating the thermal diffusivity at various degassing temperatures and by doping it with rare
earth oxide using photoacoustic technique. The thermal diffusivity is found to decrease with the
increase in degassing temperature as well as with the increase in the doping concentration of rare
earth oxide. This decrease has been attributed to the loss of hydroxyl ion from the y-Al2O3.
