(2015-10-20)Department: Computer ScienceCyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are complex systems which involve tight interactions between physical dynamics, computational platforms, communication networks, and embedded software. The complex interactions prevent us from ...
-
(2021-06-15)Department: Chemical & Physical BiologyMathematical models are becoming increasingly used to describe biochemical processes and understand the systems behavior that arises from protein-protein interactions involved in a biochemical pathway. These complex ...
-
(2006-04-18)Department: Biomedical EngineeringOur brains process and interpret sensory information in order to generate perceptions of the environment or motivate behavior. However, the underlying mechanisms by which salient stimulus qualities are represented ...
-
(2016-07-29)Department: Microbiology and ImmunologySeasonal influenza remains a worldwide health concern and recently, the novel avian influenza virus, H5N1, has infected and caused disease in humans, though the virus is not currently capable of human-to-human transmission. ...
