Block Copolymer Derived Vertically Coupled Plasmonic Arrays for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(2020)A surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy sensing template consisting of gold-covered nanopillars is developed. The plasmonic slab consists of a perforated gold film at the base of the nanopillars and a Babinet complementary ... -
Compact broadband triple-ring five-port reflectometer for microwave brain imaging applications
(2019)The broadband five-port reflectometer (FPR) is proposed using a triple-ring based technique. The design introduces a tapering in the inter-ring transmission lines (TLs), which provides additional degrees of freedom for ... -
Decreased activation along the dorsal visual pathway after a 3-month treatment with Galantamine in mild Alzheimer's disease
(Wolters Kluwer, 2009)Visual perception has been shown to be altered in Alzheimer?s disease (AD) patients and it is associated with decreased cognitive function. Galantamine is an active cholinergic agent, which has been shown to lead to ... -
Effect of sample bias on backscattered ion spectroscopy in the helium ion microscope
(2010)The authors present experimental results showing the effect of an applied bias voltage on backscattered ion spectra acquired from thin films of ruthenium and hafnia in the helium ion microscope. A characteristic peak ... -
Electrocardiogram based neonatal seizure detection
(IEEE, 2007)A method for the detection of seizures in the newborn using the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is presented. Using a database of eight recordings, a method was developed for automatically annotating each 1-min epoch as ... -
Environmental effects on the electrical characteristics of back-gated WSe2 field-effect transistors
(2018)We study the effect of polymer coating, pressure, temperature, and light on the electrical characteristics of monolayer WSe2 back-gated transistors with Ni/Au contacts. Our investigation shows that the removal of a layer ... -
Highly Sensitive Electromechanical Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors Based on Large-Area Layered PtSe2 Films
(2018)Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials are ideal for micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) due to their ultimate thinness. Platinum diselenide (PtSe2), an exciting and unexplored 2D transition metal ... -
IL-1alpha and HMGB1 mediate hippocampal dysfunction in SIGIRR-deficient mice
(2011)Single-Ig-interleukin-1 related receptor (SIGIRR) is a member of the interleukin (IL)-1/Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. It negatively regulates inflammation, rendering SIGIRR-/- mice more susceptible to inflammatory ... -
A P300-Based Brain-Computer Interface for Improving Attention
(2019)A Brain-computer Interface (BCI) can be used as a neurofeedback training tool to improve cognitive performance. BCIs aim to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the conventional neurofeedback methods by focusing on ... -
The potential interruptive effect of tinnitus-related distress on attention.
(2020)The mechanism through which tinnitus affects attention is unclear. This study examines whether distress mediates the relationship(s) between tinnitus and sustained, selective and executive attentions as well as response ... -
Quantitative data extraction from orthopyroxene trace element maps and its potential to examine the formation of the UG2 unit, bushveld complex
(2019)We present a mineral chemical stratigraphy across the UG2 Unit, situated in the Upper Critical Zone of the Bushveld Complex. The magmatic evolution of the rocks hosting this world-class ore deposit for chromium and platinum ... -
Wide Spectral Photoresponse of Layered Platinum Diselenide-Based Photodiodes
(2018)Platinum diselenide (PtSe2) is a group-10 transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) that has unique electronic properties, in particular a semimetal-to-semiconductor transition when going from bulk to monolayer form. We report ...
