Background Ticagrelor is a reversible oral P2Y 12 platelet inhibitor used to treat patients
with acute coronary syndromes, prior myocardial infarction, high-risk coronary artery disease, …

The mammalian accessory olfactory system is specialized for the detection of chemicals that
identify kin and conspecifics. Vomeronasal sensory neurons (VSNs) residing in the …

This article discusses the use of biocompatible, two-part epoxies in medical devices. When
used as adhesive encapsulants, these products improve the ruggedness of wire-bonded, chip…

Multifunctional calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinases (CaMKs) are key regulators
of spine structural plasticity and long-term potentiation (LTP) in neurons. CaMKs have …

The first objective of this research project was to evaluate the performance of various logic
block architectures in FPGAs. Since logic blocks widely vary in size, functionality and …

Up to date, many different FPGA logic block architectures, varying in size, functionality and
complexity [1], [2], have been proposed. The most common FPGA logic blocks either have …

… , Rohit Ramnath and Michael Patterson for teaching me how to do two-photon microscopy
imaging when I first joined the lab; Jaime Richards for technician support and David Kloetzer …

… I would also like to thank the Ramnath and Zhu families, who on several occasions hosted
me in their homes and treated me as a son. I thank all of my classmates for making the …

Shared computing infrastructures (eg, cloud computing, enterprise datacenters) have become
the norm today due to their lower operational costs and IT management costs. However, …

Synaptic plasticity is thought to underlie learning and memory formation. The Ras pathway
plays critical roles in many forms of synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP) …
