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. …”

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. …”

Hole spin helix : anomalous spin diffusion in anisotropic strained hole quantum wells by Sacksteder, Vincent E., Bernevig, B. Andrei

“…In addition to the well-known cubic hole spin-orbit interaction, anisotropy causes a Dresselhaus-like term, and strain causes a Rashba term. We discover that strain can cause a shifting symmetry of the Fermi surfaces for spin up and down holes. …”

CricPredict: resource-aware prediction of T20 cricket match by Kumar, Ashish, Hassan, Bilal, Wasiq, Muhammad Farooq

“…Usually, the Duckworth–Lewis (D/L) method is used to decide the outcome of the match in Test and ODI cricket, resulting in favour of one team like completed matches. In contrast to the traditional D/L method, we tried to incorporate players' performance indicators into our proposed architecture despite the traditional D/L method which only includes the current state of the match and determines the outcome. …”
