(2009-05-15)Textile composites have a wide variety of applications in the aerospace, sports, automobile, marine and medical industries. Due to the availability of a variety of textile architectures and numerous parameters associated ...
-
(2009-06-09)Previous research has shown that even when communication between the brain and spinal cord has been eliminated, rats can learn a simple instrumental response. If rats receive shock to one hindlimb when it is extended ...
-
(2022-06-03)The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), an RNA-binding protein that mediates the transport, stability, and translation of hundreds of RNAs, is critically involved in regulating synaptic function. Loss of FMRP, as ...

(2009-05-15)Although neural plasticity has traditionally been studied within the brain, evidence indicates that the spinal cord is quite plastic as well. Spinal neurons can even support a simple form of instrumental learning (Grau et ...

(2011-02-22)This dissertation addresses new developments in the constitutive modeling and structural analysis pertaining to rate-independent and rate-dependent irrecoverable inelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). A new model for ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Prior work from our laboratory has shown that the spinal cord is capable of supporting a simple form of instrumental (response-outcome) learning. In a typical experiment, animals are given a spinal transection at the second ...
-
(2012-07-16)We utilize a simple instrumental (response-outcome) learning task to measure spinal plasticity in the isolated spinal cord. Peripheral uncontrollable nociceptive input has been shown to disrupt spinal instrumental learning ...
-
(2012-02-14)Previous work has shown that the spinal cord is capable of supporting a simple form of instrumental learning. Subjects that receive controllable shock to an extended hind limb will increase the duration of limb flexion ...

(2020-07-29)Realization of alkali metal anodes would enable batteries with enormous capacities. However, during electrochemical cycling, the deposited metal frequently forms dendrites that can penetrate battery separators, leading to ...

(2010-01-14)This study presents a method for predicting the undrained behavior of plate anchors, including out-of-plane loading of simple plates and performance of suction embedded plate anchors (SEPLA). Three dimensional finite element ...
