IAS / School of Science Joint Lecture - Use of Large Animal Models to Investigate Brain Diseases
Abstract
Genetically modified animal models have been extensively used to investigate the pathogenesis of age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer (AD), Parkinson (PD), Huntington (HD) diseases, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The common feature of these diseases…
Department of Mathematics - Seminar on PDE - Analysis on isotropic-nematic phase transition and liquid crystal droplet
In this talk, I will discuss the phase transition phenomena between the isotropic and nematic states within the framework of Ericksen theory of liquid crystals with variable degrees of orientations.
OCES Departmental Seminar: Rising from the abyss: upwelling of ocean waters in idealized simulations and field experiments
To close the abyssal overturning circulation, dense bottom waters that form around Antarctica have to become lighter by mixing with lighter water above.
