We study the minimal recurrent spiking neural network of a single neuron with an autaptic synapse. implement system in solid state recently introduced ultracompact (UCN) model, which is based on memristive properties thyristor. The UCN supplemented by self-synaptic, autaptic, connection, where we control feedback. Both excitatory and inhibitory cases are considered. explore systematic behavior ...

Water-soluble sulfonated monomer based on 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT-sultone) was synthesized and characterized for the first time via the O-alkylation of the corresponding unreactive , -disubstituted hydroxyl group with propane sultone in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). This new monomer was oxidatively polymerized to produce regioregular wa...

C onjugated polymers are characterized by an electronically delocalized p-conjugated backbone. This broad class of materials has attracted considerable attention from both industrial and academic research communities due to their potential to manufacture large-area and flexible organic electronic devices via low-cost solution processing techniques1–4. Remarkable progress has been achieved towar...

The advancement in semiconductor technology has provided a new alternative to the hundred year old conventional transformer technology by providing an elegant solution using Solid State Transformer (SST). The SST is applied semiconductor technology for changing the voltage ratio. The SST can achieve high power density as well as operation at high frequency, thus reducing the size and the cost. ...

Pulmonary inhalation chemotherapeutic drug delivery offers many advantages for lung cancer patients in comparison to conventional systemic chemotherapy. Inhalable particles are advantageous in their ability to deliver drug deep in the lung by utilizing optimally sized particles and higher local drug dose delivery. In this work, spray-dried and co-spray dried inhalable lung surfactant-mimic PEGy...
