Large-scale capacitive touch panels : sensor pattern design, sampling and interpolation by Akhtar, Humza

“…Industry is using simple three-point interpolation schemes but as is the case with sensor design, no one has explored the possibility for an efficient interpolation algorithm designed specific to capacitive touch signals. We apply various one dimensional, two dimensional and iterative subpixel interpolators for the case of a human finger covering more than one sensor in both row and column direction while touching the panel, and compare them with each other in terms of efficiency and accuracy. …”

Culture of human pluripotent stem cells and neural networks in 3D using an optogenetic approach and a hydrogel model by Lee, S

“…</p> <p>Light-sensitive neurons were successfully generated by transducing Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) into human iPSC-derived NPCs and neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) using lentiviral transduction. The use of neuron specific promoters for synapsin-1 (SYN1) and calcium-calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) in driving the expression of ChR2-Yellow Florescent Protein (YFP) within the mixed neuronal populations from hiPSC-derived neurons (Axol cells) were compared. …”

Targeting TFEB and TFE3 in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons to correct autophagic/lysosomal deficits in Parkinson's disease by McGuinness, W

“…</p> <p>Surprisingly, TFEB overexpression mainly upregulated genes associated with mitochondrial function and bioenergetics in iPSC-DaNs, demonstrating a novel, DaN- specific therapeutic function for TFEB activation in PD.…”

A Lagrangian perspective on the lifecycle and radiative effect of deep convective clouds by Jones, WK

“…As a result, instruments that only observe specific times may result in erroneous comparisons between the properties of DCCs over land and ocean, which is particularly impactful on observations made in the early afternoon such as those from the A-train constellation. …”

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies of the structure and interactions between hepatitis B virus core and surface antigens with peptides by Muhamad, Azira

“…Previous studies have implicated HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) to be involved in the virus entry into the host cells. Thus, a specific ligand targeting the immunodominant region of HBsAg is desired in neutralizing the infectivity of the virus. …”
