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. …”

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…<p>Identifying the mechanisms underlying the persistence of rare species has long been a motivating question for ecologists. Classical theory implies that community dynamics should be driven by common species, and that natural selection should not allow small populations of rare species to persist. …”

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. …”

Temporal variability in host availability alters the outcome of competition between two parasitoid species by Wang, H, Liu, T, Sun, S, Lewis, OT, Xi, X

“…The outcome of this interspecific competition depended on host temporal variability, with&nbsp;<em>T. drosophilae</em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>P. vindemiae</em>&nbsp;dominating in short and long host exposure treatments, respectively.</li> <li>These results can be explained by the combination of host availability and egg load of female adult parasitoids. …”
