Background: Mutations of the gene encoding the major component of Lewy bodies (LB), alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), cause autosomal dominant forms of Parkinson's disease (PD), whereas loss-of-function mutations of the gene encoding the multifunctional E3 ubiq ...
Conventional directory coherence operates at the finest granularity possible, that of a cache block. While simple, this organization fails to exploit frequent application behavior: at any given point in time, large, continuous chunks of memory are often ac ...
We analyze and compare the effect of fabrication disorder on the quality factor of six well-known high-index photonic crystal cavity designs. The theoretical quality factors for the different nominal structures span more than three orders of magnitude, ran ...
In this work we present a new mechatronic platform for measuring behavior of nonhuman primates, allowing high reprogrammability and providing several possibilities of interactions. The platform is the result of a multidisciplinary design process, which has ...
Smooth social interactions in everyday life rely on spontaneous understanding of emotions and intentions of others, conveyed by subtle social cues, such as gaze and facial expressions. In individuals with autism, however, who represent close to 1% of the p ...
Adolescence is characterized by major developmental changes that may render the individual vulnerable to stress and the development of psychopathologies in a sex-specific manner. Earlier we reported lower anxiety-like behavior and higher risk-taking and no ...
"Ranger" is a robotic box designed to motivate young children to tidy up the toys in their rom. It explores the idea of integrating robotics into daily life objects, such as a wooden box. The box shows light and sound when toys are put inside or removed. W ...
This paper reviews the economic literature on the role of fees in patent systems. Two main research questions are usually addressed: the impact of patent fees on the behavior of applicants and the question of optimal fees. Studies in the former group confi ...
The work and findings reported in the paper are interesting to the discussers and will advance the understanding of the shear-failure mechanism of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Some details need further discussion and clarification. In many cases, shear ...
Reliable simulations of electromagnetic interference in motor drive power electronic systems ask for accurate high-frequency motor models. A methodology for creating frequency dependent behavioral circuit models of ac electrical motors is presented in this ...
