Abstract This paper reports the fabrication of an artificial synapse (AS) based on two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) film. The AS emulates important synaptic functions such as paired-pulse facilitation, spike-rate dependent plasticity, spike-duration plasticity and spike-number plasticity. spike voltage can mediate ion migration in gel to regulate conductance MoS channel, thereby re...

The inference of causation from correlation is in general highly problematic. Correspondingly, it is difficult to infer the existence of physical synaptic connections between neurons from correlations in their activity. Covariances in neural spike trains and their relation to network structure have been the subject of intense research, both experimentally and theoretically. The influence of rec...

reported grain yield increased 3.9 and 7.4% cycle 1, respectively, over two cycles of selection in barley Increasing kernel weight has been proposed as a method to increase (Hordeum vulgare L.). Durum wheat (Triticum turflour extraction in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Recurrent selection was initiated to increase kernel weight while maintaining gidum L. var. durum) grain yield improved ...

studies on manipulating the source-sink relationships during postanthesis in wheat have shown inconsistent results, concluding that wheat yield could be either sink- or source-limited. most studies have reported data of grain mass as an average of all grains preventing the recognition of different sensitivities to the availability of assimilates of grains placed at different positions within th...

     Triticum boeoticum wild wheat is a remarkable gene pool to environmental stress resistance. It is one of the most valuable species of the Triticeae tribe for improving wheat cultivars to moisture-stress. This research was carried out to assess the changes and responses of different traits of 10 accessions of Triticum boeoticum under non-stress and imposed moisture stress conditions in 2015...

BACKGROUND Grain yield is a key economic driver of successful wheat production. Due to its complex nature, little is known regarding its genetic control. The goal of this study was to identify important quantitative trait loci (QTL) directly and indirectly affecting grain yield using doubled haploid lines derived from a cross between Hanxuan 10 and Lumai 14. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Ten...

Harmonic analysis is applied to analyze the transmission of bandlimited signals via spike trains generated by a pair of leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model neurons organized in a push-pull, or ‘on/off’, configuration. It is found that lowpass signals can be transmitted with only moderate distortion utilizing mean spike rates with many spikes per signal coherence time. The transmission of bandp...
