The post-modern Japanese identity of Haruki Murakami's literature. by Ling, Shannon.

“…And for the modern Japanese writers like Haruki Murakami, this conflict presents a pertinent issue with his literature often derided by Japanese scholars and writers alike for the failure to represent the real Japan in his novels.In the first part of my thesis, I would seek to explore the influence that the writer himself has on his writing, discussing a little about his history such as the generation of Japanese that he was borne into. …”

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. …”
