Glutamate uptake into astrocytes and the resulting increase in intracellular Na+ (Na+(i)) have been identified as a key signal coupling excitatory neuronal activity to increased glucose utilization. Arguments based mostly on mathematical modeling led to th ...
The friction force on a nanometer-sized tip sliding on a surface is related to the thermally activated hopping of the contact atoms on an effective atomic interaction potential. A general analytical expression relates the height of this potential and the h ...
Successful information management implies the ability to design accurate representations of the real world of interest to targeted applications. Current systems do not provide representation schemes supporting the diversity of user needs. In the context of ...
Following the analytical description of the collisionless high-voltage capacitive RF sheath in Lieberman (1988) and of the collisional high-voltage capacitive RF sheath in Lieberman (1989), electrical sheath parameters are calculated for a square-wave ie R ...

Cartography is one of the major application areas using geographical databases. Whether it is for the business of producing paper maps for sale, or whether it is for displaying maps on a screen to visualize the result of a query, we need computer systems t ...
We present a framework for analyzing shape uncertainty and variability in point-sampled geometry. Our representation is mainly targeted towards discrete surface data stemming from 3D acquisition devices, where a finite number of possibly noisy samples prov ...
An efficient algorithm for band connectivity (BC) resoln. is presented. The method uses only readily available band coeffs. and the overlap matrix, and has a low computational cost. The accuracy of the BC resoln. is such that the method is practical for me ...
Using a low-level representation of images, like matching pursuit, we introduce a new way of describing objects through a general description using a translation, rotation, and isotropic scale invariant dictionary of basis functions. We then use this descr ...
Electron traps at the nanostructured TiO2 (anatase)/aq. electrolyte interface were studied by electrochem. methods. The transient current decays at different potentials pos. of the flatband potential clearly illustrate the trap-filling process. The more ne ...
