Wavelength tuning of the soft-approached whispering gallery mode microlasers for display and sensing by Yang, Shancheng

“…Although the mature but sophisticated top-down and bottom-up approaches for semiconductor processing can provide WGM microcavities and microlasers with high quality and ultra-compact integration, the intrinsic rigid nature of the materials hinders the development of flexible applications like displayand sensing, which require the tuning of the wavelengths within the cavity. …”

Small-signal neural models and their applications by Basu, Arindam

“…Second, we use small-signal models for deriving parameters for a simple neural model (such as resonate and fire) from a more complicated but biophysically relevant one like Morris-Lecar. We show similarity in the subthreshold behavior of the simple and complicated model when they are close to a Hopf bifurcation and a saddle-node bifurcation. …”

Minimal type inference for Linked Data consumers by Ciobanu, Gabriel, Horne, Ross, Sassone, Vladimiro

“…We provide an introduction to the Web of Linked Data from the perspective of a Web developer who would like to build an application using Linked Data. We identify a weakness in the development stack, namely a lack of domain specific scripting languages for designing background processes that consume Linked Data. …”

Dengue Virus Non-Structural Protein 5 by El Sahili, Abbas, Lescar, Julien

“…Dengue virus also serves as a prototype for the study of other pathogenic flaviviruses that are emerging, like West Nile virus and Zika virus. Upon viral entry into the host cell and fusion of the viral lipid membrane with the endosomal membrane, the viral RNA is released and expressed as a polyprotein, that is then matured into three structural and seven non-structural (NS) proteins. …”
