(2018-02-13)Department: NeuroscienceAppropriate Ca2+ influx through the plasma membrane plays a key role in neuronal excitability and plasticity. Neuronal excitation activates voltage-gated L-type (CaV1.x) Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) that results in nuclear CREB ...
-
(Light-Science & Appplications, 2019-09-04)Optical metasurfaces have become versatile platforms for manipulating the phase, amplitude, and polarization of light. A platform for achieving independent control over each of these properties, however, remains elusive ...
-
(Albany Law Review, 1992)The prefatory note to the 1990 revisions of article II of the Uniform Probate Code ("UPC") indicates that the changes wrought are a response to several developments since the promulgation of the UPC in 1969. The prefatory ...
-
(2020-07-29)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceOptical metasurfaces have emerged as an attractive platform for manipulating the wavefront of light based on thin film flat optics. Despite their design degrees of freedom, the functionalities that can be encoded on a ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2017-04)This paper analyzed three models of emotional eating: the restraint disinhibition model, the affect-regulation model, and the externality model (Herman and Polivy, 1975; Haedt-Matt & Keel, 2011; Schachter, 1968). Emotional ...
