Delayed bifurcation onset of Turing instability and the effect of noise
(2015)In this thesis we study the effect of noise on delayed bifurcations in PDE's. Two particular problems with slowly varying parameter and noise are considered: a single PDE and a modified version of Klausmeier model. We first ... -
Deletion Without Rebalancing in Non-Blocking Self-Balancing Binary Search Trees
(2016-05-04)We present a provably linearizable and lock-free relaxed AVL tree called the non- blocking ravl tree. At any time, the height of a non-blocking ravl tree is bounded by logφ(2m) + c, where φ is the golden ratio, m is the ... -
Delineating excitatory V3 interneuron diversity in the mouse spinal cord
(2021-06-29)Mammals possess the remarkable ability to manoeuver the physical world with precise, coordinated, and autonomous control. Interneuron networks in the spinal cord simultaneously integrate and process supraspinal and sensory ... -
DELINEATING THE ROLE OF CALCINEURIN A ALPHA IN THE MAST CELL FCϵRI-MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSE
(2020-05-11)Allergies are a health challenge resulting from excessive and inappropriate responses to innocuous antigens (allergens), and a key cellular player is the mast cell. Mast cell activation by allergen initiates a response ... -
DELVING INTO THE HEART OF THE MATTER: UNDERSTANDING THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN TGF-β, CTGF AND EARLY MYOCARDIAL CHANGES IN ANGIOTENSIN-II INDUCED MYOCARDIAL FIBROSIS
(2017-03-31)Myocardial fibrosis is the common pathophysiological complication associated with diastolic heart failure. It is characterized by excess extracellular matrix (ECM) protein deposition, which contributes to increased ... -
