Due to the imprecise nature of the MR imaging and segmentation processes, the contours extracted may not accurately reflect the huma...Contour data; Layers program; MRI slices1994
137 Normann, Richard A.Effects of GABA and related drugs on horizontal cells in the isolated turtle retinaThe role of GABA in the outer plexiform layer of the turtle retina has been examined by intracellular recordings from L- and C-type horizontal cells in the isolated retina preparation. GABA (1-5 mM) slightly depolarized the L-type horizontal cells, reduced the amplitude of their photoresponses, and ...Retina; Horizontal Cells; Synapse; Negative Feedback; GABA; Turtle1990
138 Kasera, Sneha K.; Patwari, NealHigh-rate uncorrelated bit extraction for shared secret key generation from channel measurementsSecret keys can be generated and shared between two wireless nodes by measuring and encoding radio channel characteristics without ever revealing the secret key to an eavesdropper at a third location. This paper addresses bit extraction, i.e., the extraction of secret key bits from noisy radio chan...Wireless networks; Multipath fading; Physical layer; Key generation; Secret keys; Bit extraction2010-01
139 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.; Marc, Robert E.; Jones, Bryan W.Enhancement of cell boundaries in transmission electon microscopy imagesTransmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an important modality for the analysis of cellular structures in neurobiology.
