9 Lupton, John MarkNonequilibrium polariton dynamics in organic microcavitiesMicrocavities containing a J-aggregate forming organic dye were prepared in the strong-coupling regime.

We set the Rabi splitting to 25 meV and study the thermal activation o...Nonequilibrium polariton dynamics; Organic microcavities; Optical microcavities; Rabi splitting; Light-matter interactions; Arrhenius activation2002-08
10 Voth, Gregory AlanThe multiscale coarse-graining method. VI. Implementation of three-body coarse-grained potentialsMany methodologies have been proposed to build reliable and computationally fast coarse-grained potentials.

16 Goller, FranzMotor control of crystallized song is modified by sensory feedbackSong production requires precisely coordinated activity in the respiratory and syringcal (vocal organ) muscles. Crystallized adult song is characterized by acoustic and motor stereotypy which does not require auditory feedback, suggesting it is represented by fixed central motor programs. To determ...Air injection; Auditory feedback; Pressure1997
17 Lawton, Kristy J.Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generatorCentral patterns generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that drive rhythmic motor output without sensory feedback. Vertebrate CPGs are generally believed to operate in a top-down manner in which premotor interneurons activate motor neurons that in turn drive muscles. In contrast, the frog (Xenopus la...CPG; feed back; synchrony; vocal; vocalization; Xenopus2017
