Two computational neural models : rodent perirhinal cortex and crab cardiac ganglion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
mechanisms of compensation to restore network synchrony based on compensatory intrinsic conductances. Finally, a third model, related to the second one, was of an improved three-compartmental biophysical model of an LC that is morphologically realistic...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)-Based Conjugated Macrocycles and Polymers For Electronic Applications
(2014)
applications. Specifically, two imine-based shape-persistent macrocycles containing triphenylene building blocks have been synthesized. Their stable conformations are predicted by quantum mechanical calculations and confirmed by 2D NOESY NMR measurements...
