Microglia are being increasingly recognized as playing important roles in neurodevelopment. The cerebellum matures postnatally, undergoing major growth, but the role of microglia in the developing cerebellum is not well understood. Using the laboratory rat we quantified and morphologically categorized microglia throughout the vermis and across development using a design-based unbiased stereolog...

Conducting polymer actuators such as polypyrrole (PPy) microactuators are interesting candidates to drive autonomous microrobotic devices that require low weight and low power. Simple PPy tri-layer bending type microactuators that operate in air have been demonstrated previously but they lack individual control and had problems with short circuiting due to electrical connections. The lack of mi...

This paper presents evaluation and effect of blank radius on radial stresses through mathematical formulations in hydroforming deep drawing process using castor oil medium. Hydraulic pressure can enhance the capabilities of the basic deep drawing process for making cups. In hydroforming deep drawing process, applying the hydraulic pressure on blank periphery in radial direction. It is obtained ...

Abstract In the present research, the behavior of 304L austenitic stainless steel in the deep drawing process has been studied at the room temperature through experimental and finite element simulation method. Magnetic method calibrated by XRD was used to measure induced-martensite. Martensite volume fraction in the various portion of the deep drawn cup under optimum Blank Holder Force (BHF) a...

In this paper, we present a novel Deep Triphone Embedding (DTE) representation derived from Deep Neural Network (DNN) to encapsulate the discriminative information present in the adjoining speech frames. DTEs are generated using a four hidden layer DNN with 3000 nodes in each hidden layer at the first-stage. This DNN is trained with the tied-triphone classification accuracy as an optimization c...

The authors have developed two distinct processes for the fabrication of mesoscopic Josephson junction qubits that are compatible with conventional CMOS processing. These devices, based on superconducting Al/A1203/AI tunnel junctions, are fabricated by electron beam lithography using single-layer and multi-layer resists. The new single-layer resist process is found to have significant advantage...

Identification of exfoliated graphene flakes and classification the thickness are important in nanomanufacturing advanced materials devices. This paper presents a deep learning method to automatically identify classify on Si/SiO2 substrates from optical microscope images. The presented framework uses hierarchical convolutional neural network that is capable new images while preserving knowledge...
