Effects of Prolonged Head-Down Bed Rest on Cardiac and Vascular Baroreceptor Modulation and Orthostatic Tolerance in Healthy Individuals
(Frontiers in Pyhsiology, 2019-08-23)
Orthostatic intolerance commonly occurs after prolonged bed rest, thus increasing the risk of syncope and falls. Baroreflex-mediated adjustments of heart rate and sympathetic vasomotor activity (muscle sympathetic nerve ...
Engineered models to parse apart the metastatic cascade
(NPJ Precision Oncology, 2019-08-21)
While considerable progress has been made in studying genetic and cellular aspects of metastasis with in vitro cell culture and in vivo animal models, the driving mechanisms of each step of metastasis are still relatively ...
Electrically defined topological interface states of graphene surface plasmons based on a gate-tunable quantum Bragg grating
(Nanophotonics, 2019-08)
A periodic metagate is designed on top of a boron nitride-graphene heterostructure to modulate the local carrier density distribution on the monolayer graphene. This causes the bandgaps of graphene surface plasmon polaritons ...
Approximate Loop Unrolling
(CF '19 - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 16TH ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING FRONTIERS, 2019-04-30)
We introduce Approximate Unrolling, a compiler loop optimization that reduces execution time and energy consumption, exploiting code regions that can endure some approximation and still produce acceptable results. Specifically, ...
Thermal block of action potentials is primarily due to voltage-dependent potassium currents: a modeling study
(Journal of Neural Engineering, 2019-06)
Objective. Thermal block of action potential conduction using infrared lasers is a new modality for manipulating neural activity. It could be used for analysis of the nervous system and for therapeutic applications. We ...
scRNABatchQC: multi-samples quality control for single cell RNA-seq data
(Bioinformatics, 2019-12-15)
A Summary: Single cell RNA sequencing is a revolutionary technique to characterize inter-cellular transcriptomics heterogeneity. However, the data are noise-prone because gene expression is often driven by both technical ...
