Tunable anti-ambipolar vertical bilayer organic electrochemical transistor enable neuromorphic retinal pathway by Laswick, Zachary, Wu, Xihu, Surendran, Abhijith, Zhou, Zhongliang, Ji, Xudong, Matrone, Giovanni Maria, Leong, Wei Lin, Rivnay, Jonathan

“…The vertical OECT design reduces device footprint, while the bilayer material tuning controls the anti-ambipolarity characteristics, allowing control of the device's on and off threshold voltages, and peak position, while reducing size thereby enabling tunable threshold spiking neurons and logic gates. Combining these components, a mimic of the retinal pathway reproducing the wavelength and light intensity encoding of horizontal cells to spiking retinal ganglion cells is demonstrated. …”

Learning from nature : experimental observation of mimosa pudica by Zhang, Yi

“…Remarkably, the partial pinna stimulation demonstrated a twofold increase in closing time in comparison to entire pinna stimulation, which implied the stimulation contact area did play a significant part in pinna closing time but had no effect on pinna reopening time. …”

Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. Changes in gut microbiota of adult zebrafish were detected after 14-d exposure to Pb-spiked food, but no changes were detected from perovskite-NP spiked food. …”

Calcined bone provides a reliable substrate for strontium isotope ratios as shown by an enrichment experiment by Snoeck, C, Lee-Thorp, J, Schulting, R, de Jong, J, Debouge, W, Mattielli, N

“…<p><b>Results</b></p> The strontium isotopic ratios of all samples immersed in the spiked solution were strongly modified showing that significant amounts of strontium had been adsorbed or incorporated. …”

Application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to determine free fatty acid contents in palm olein by Che Man, Y.B., Setiowaty, G.

“…This set was prepared by spiking increasing amounts of oleic acid into a series of palm oleins that covers a wide range of FFA (0.08-1.04%). …”

Universality for the largest eigenvalue of sample covariance matrices with general population by Bao, Zhigang, Pan, Guangming, Zhou, Wang

“…Moreover, in the real case, we show that when E is spiked with a fixed number of subcritical spikes, the type 1 Tracy—Widom limit TWi holds for the normalized largest eigenvalue of WN, which extends a result of Féral and Péché in [J. …”

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.…”
