Synaptic and Intrinsic Plasticity in Lateral Hypothalamic Sleep/Wake Regulatory Neurons Following Acute Sleep Deprivation: Implications for Sleep Homeostasis
(2018-05-23)Sleep/wake behaviour is regulated by a network of sleep- and wake-promoting neurons that exhibit reciprocal activity patterns. This circuit is under the influence of the circadian clock, which maintains stable diurnal ... -
THE SYNAPTIC CIRCUITS UNDERLYING OLFACTORY PROCESSING AND REPRESENTATIONS IN THE INSECT BRAIN: CHARACTERIZATION AND PLASTICITY OF THE MUSHROOM BODY CALYX
(2010-08-25)Sensory information is processed and encoded by neural networks. In order to understand how the nervous system is able to rapidly integrate and store sensory information, knowledge of the connections and properties of the ... -
SYNAPTOPODIN-2, AN ACTIN-BINDING PROTEIN, IS A PROMYOGENIC FACTOR FOR MYOBLAST FUSION AND MYOFIBRILLOGENESIS IN MOUSE AND ZEBRAFISH
(2020-10-14)Myogenesis is a differentiation-dependent process involving migration and fusion of uninucleated myoblasts to form multinucleated myotubes, the building blocks of striated, contractile muscle fibers. Several actin-binding ... -
Synchronization Techniques for Coherent Underwater Acoustic Receivers
(2019-03-12)In wireless communication systems, synchronization is one of the most important issues. The requirement for synchronization is especially intensified when there is strong channel distortion. For instance, the Doppler effect ... -
Synergistic Integration of Demand Side Management, Renewable Energy Sources, Battery, and Hydrogen Storage in Hybrid Energy Systems
(2024-04-12)In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for hybrid energy systems (HES). This surge is attributed to a combination of factors, including the pursuit of sustainable and resilient future energy ... -
Synthesis & Characterization of Graphene Enhanced Electroless Ni-P Composite Coatings
(2020-04-09)Electroless Ni-P coating has attracted attention since few decades due to high hardness and corrosion resistance. However, applications that demand high wear and cracking resistance require coatings to exhibit toughness ... -
Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Prodigiosene Analogues
(2013-10-28)Prodigiosenes are a family of tripyrrolic 4-methoxypyrrolyl-dipyromethane natural products based on the parent compound, prodigiosin. Prodigiosin exhibits significant anti-cancer activity including some ability to specifically ... -
Synthesis and Catalytic Ability of Diazaphospholenes
(2018-04-02)This thesis presents a facile entry into diazaphospholene catalysis, harnessing pre- catalysts formed through the reaction of diazaphospholene-bromide compounds with neopentyl alcohol, to afford crystalline pre-catalysts. ... -
Synthesis and Catalytic Activity of 1,2,4,3-Triazaphospholenes
(2018-04-04)Catalysis plays a key role in the industrial production of many refined goods. Catalysts derived from precious metals are especially prevalent in industry due to their high stereoselectivity, and low loadings. To alleviate ... -
Synthesis and Catalytic Application of PSiP- and P,N-Ligated Complexes of First-Row Metals
(2020-01-21)The study of PSiP pincer complexes of second- and third-row transition metals has led to the discovery of challenging bond activation chemistry as well as catalytic chemistry. While there now exists a considerable amount ... -
