Characterization of hippocampal CA1 place cells. by Lau, Hwee Hui.

“…Most of the neurons had stable firing across sessions recorded in both familiar and novel environments, while some showing selective discharged of spikes in either one of the environments tested. The data recorded had provided spatial-temporal pattern for study of neuronal activities of physiologically identified place cells residing in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal layer.…”

Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential by Aditham, Abhishek J.

“…We developed QRNAs, which are circRNAs that possess an unnaturally-linked inverted 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap. QRNAs substantially outperform conventional circRNAs, given the low translation initiation efficiency of IRES compared to cap-dependent initiation. …”

The Internationalisation of Mainland Chinese Firms into Malaysia: From Obligated Embeddedness to Active Embeddedness by Lim, Guanie

“…I argue that the Malaysian state has enjoyed success in the construction sector by nurturing cooperation between its carefully groomed government-linked companies and mainland Chinese firms. Government-linked companies are useful coalition partners for the mainland Chinese firms because of the crucial role the state plays in creating a largely non-competitive industry that favours government-linked companies. …”

Hodgkin–huxley artificial synaptic membrane based on protonic/electronic hybrid neuromorphic transistors by Fu, Yang Ming, Wan, Chang Jin, Zhu, Li Qiang, Xiao, Hui, Chen, Xiao Dong, Wan, Qing

“…By using protonic/electronic hybrid oxide transistor configuration, dynamic synaptic membrane potential responses are triggered with gate current spikes. Typical resting potential, excitatory/inhibitory postsynaptic potential behaviors, and membrane depolarization/activation behaviors are mimicked on the proposed Hodgkin–Huxley artificial synaptic membrane. …”
