Synaptic devices towards neuromorphic electronics by Datta, Indira

“…This report examines potentially brain-like structures and their cognitive behaviour including learning, forgetting, and relearning, as well as synaptic behaviour such as short and long-term plasticity. Area Transfer curves, gate voltage hysteresis loops, and multilevel resistance modulation were studied, and biological functions including long-term potentiation and Depression (LTP and LTD), Excitatory and Inhibitory Postsynaptic Current (EPSC and IPSC), Spike Amplitude and Duration Dependent Plasticity (SADP and SDDP), Paired Pulse Facilitation and Depression (PPF and PPD), and repeated learning and forgetting curves were emulated by our novel device. …”

Design of a Four-Bar Latch Mechanism and a Shear-Based Rotary Viscous Damper for Single-Axis Prosthetic Knees by Arelekatti, VN Murthy, Petelina, Nina T, Johnson, W Brett, Major, Matthew J, Winter V, Amos G

“…The stability module enabled smooth transition from stance to swing with timely initiation of knee flexion. The dampers also performed satisfactorily, as the increase in the damping coefficient was found to decrease the peak knee flexion angle during swing. …”

Astray by Tan, Ken Wei Hao

“…Inspiration to do this project came fortunately with the advent of “YouTube” which had opened up my world to so much life changing content and as I was watching “The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross” something clicked in my head when he, in one episode said “I spent half my life doing someone else’s thing, painting should make you happy and if it doesn’t make you happy, you’re doing the wrong thing.” …”

Investigating viral glycosylation pathways for drug and vaccine development by Brun, J

“…Chapter 4 focuses on the site-specific glycosylation occupancy, and N- and O-glycan structures attached to virion derived SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins. This glycan signature was compared to a stabilised prefusion trimeric spike, to a monomeric subunit of spike (S1) and to an antigen of a non-stabilised vaccine candidate, revealing subunit shedding of the S1 glycoprotein for the vaccine candidate. …”

Delay-and-pay: prolonging pharmaceutical patent protection without paying the ‘price’ by Foss-Solbrekk, K

“…<p>This thesis argues that actors use the patent system as part of a ‘delay-and-pay’ strategy to preserve drug prices for as long as possible by delaying generic/biosimilar market entry – and that they have a significant incentive to do so. …”
