The model is intended to be used for studying the acoustic properties of the breathing sound. The model was constructed with silicone rubber that has acoustic properties similar to those of soft tissues. The main challenge of the project was to construct the model with a single, homogenous piece of silicone, which is necessary to avoid any interface affecting the sound transmission. The model included the head, portion of the neck containing the suprasternal notch, a functioning airway with nasal and oral passageways, sinuses, and the trachea. A technique developed in this study was the development of an airway model made of gelatin. The gelatin model occupied the space in the head model mold when silicone rubber was poured. The gelatin was later removed by boiling the model in water to leave the void of the airway inside the model.","PeriodicalId":153112,"journal":{"name":"2013 39th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"67 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132443011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While each involved neuron encompasses dendritic, axonal and synaptic components, the control mechanism of the saccades is also investigated in our study. The proposed saccade generator captures in essence the neural dynamics of the Hodgkin-Huxley model and a time-varying FitzHugh-Nagumo model. It evolves so that a burst discharge (pulse) from the agonist motoneurons and a pause in firing from antagonist motoneurons serve as the neural inputs to the agonist and antagonist muscles. The importance of simulating horizontal saccades is that it provides a framework for early diagnosis and treatment of injuries sustained during the mild traumatic brain injury.","PeriodicalId":153112,"journal":{"name":"2013 39th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131079064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After such confirmation, the permeability of five different nanoparticle samples was determined by this blood-brain barrier model.

This study investigates two means of incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG), a well-researched molecule used for immune system avoidance, into the shell of UCAs to facilitate avoidance mechanisms. The first route used a PEG-polylactic acid (PLA) copolymer to create the UCAs via a water-oil-water emulsion technique. A second approach used d-α tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) as a surfactant during the creation of UCAs with PLA. The resulting formulations of pegylated UCAs were compared to control UCAs created from PLA and a surfactant solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The impact of adding PEG on size, surface charge, surface morphology, acoustic enhancement, and UCA stability was determined under simulated body conditions. It was seen that complete replacement of PLA with PEG-PLA or PVA with TPGS did not result in functional UCAs. However, PEG could be added by both means in conjunction with PLA and PVA to create UCAs with minimal changes to properties.","PeriodicalId":153112,"journal":{"name":"2013 39th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"280 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132241608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We measure the amount of Beta-galactosidase gene expression from plasmids that contain increasing numbers of lac promoters and combine experimental results with mathematical modeling. We find an increase from one to three promoters results in greater range of gene expression and a mathematical model generated based on experimental data predicts a further increase in number of regulation units results in further increase in gene expression range.","PeriodicalId":153112,"journal":{"name":"2013 39th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115118230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sensors have many potential applications in pharmaceutical testing, cytotoxicity screening, personalized medicine, and many other research areas. The materials used to fabricate these novel sensors, however, do not necessarily promote the long term cellular attachment and growth for studies over several days to weeks. The objective of this study is, therefore, to improve the long term cellular attachment to these sensors using synthetic hydrogel coatings. The choice of charged and neutral monomers is carefully examined to produce long term cellular attachment on optically thin electro-conductive biosensors without impeding the biosensor performance. A combination of cellular attachment studies on different hydrogels, swelling measurements, and electrically conductive measurements are examined to determine the optimal hydrogel composition. The results of this study show that copolymerizing 2-hydroxyethylmethacylate and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate with acidic and basic monomers has the potential to significantly improve the long term performance of solid state optically thin, electrically conductive cellular biosensors.","PeriodicalId":153112,"journal":{"name":"2013 39th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131789355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mu rhythm is often used a neural control signal because it can be voluntarily modulated using motor imagery or relaxation. Practically using mu-rhythm BCIs presents issues involving long training times, variable accuracy, and even the exclusion of some participants due to lack of control. This study used a bilateral mu-based BCI to investigate whether giving participants specific instructions on how to modulate their mu rhythm would increase mu rhythm control as compared to the usual vague instructions given.","PeriodicalId":153112,"journal":{"name":"2013 39th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125723096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
