Computational modeling helps to study the underlying mechanisms for this communication deeply. In this work, we aimed to analyze how the number of astrocytes and the resulting astrocytic network structure affects neuronal activity. Therefore, we conducted in vitro experiments with microelectrode arrays and simulations with our previously published computational neuron-astrocyte network model side-by-side. In those, we included neuronal cultures without supplemented astrocytes and three conditions with co-cultures where different amounts of astrocytes were added. We then conducted a cross-correlation analysis between the single-channel spike trains and a graph analysis, which included the mean degree, mean shortest path, and the number of nodes, based on the highly correlated channels. Furthermore, we combined the cross-correlation network analysis of the simulated data and the structure of the astrocyte topology. Our experimental results showed that the spike rate was very variable and higher in cultures without added astrocytes than overall in co-cultures. In the co-cultures, the activity was elevated with an increasing number of astrocytes. Additionally, the spike rate was correlated with the mean degree of the neuronal network. This correlation was smaller with larger numbers of astrocytes in the culture. The simulations showed that the most active neurons were localized in the center of the network, which were, however, not always the most connected ones. The astrocytic activation was mainly driven by the vicinity to highly active neurons rather than from the activation through gap junctions. To conclude, the co-cultures with added astrocytes showed stabilization of neuronal activity. Furthermore, increasing the number of astrocytes led to a higher neuronal activity, indicating a feedback excitation loop between astrocytes and neurons.","PeriodicalId":303880,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eight Annual ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115102581","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}

Thus, they have been considered as part of the quantum data plane, by contributing to its overall overhead. As a consequence, the very concept of throughput needs to be re-defined and studied within the Quantum Internet. The aim of this treatise is to shed the light on this crucial aspect. Specifically, we conduct a theoretical analysis to understand the factors determining the overhead in the quantum data plane and their reflection on the throughput. The analysis is crucial and preliminary for designing any effective quantum communication protocol. Specifically, we derive closed-form expressions of the throughput in different scenarios, and the nonlinear relationship between throughput, entanglement throughput and classical bit rate is disclosed. Finally, we validate the theoretical analysis through numerical results conducted on the IBM Q-Experience platform.","PeriodicalId":303880,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eight Annual ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"252 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114073012","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}

It offers a unique advantage to support the heterogeneity of computing systems with its compatibility with living organisms. This computing imitates the automated process, protein synthesis that translates the input mRNA (messenger RNA) to a protein chain in a ribosome molecule. Multiple ribosomes can translate a single mRNA simultaneously although they work on different codons during this natural procedure. More than one mRNA can also be translated by more than one set of ribosomes. In the proposed work, we use both of these general procedures in our computing environment to induce parallelism. In this paper, two approaches (Approach-I and Approach-II) are proposed to describe the parallel operation techniques. In Approach-I, the input mRNA is subdivided into several mRNA fragments. Each piece is translated by different ribosome molecules simultaneously and suitable to operate on multiple mutually independent inputs. On the other hand, in Approach-II, multiple ribosome molecules can access a single mRNA at a time and use it to execute multiple operations on a single input. Also, it is observed as efficient for mutually dependent operations.","PeriodicalId":303880,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eight Annual ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133573237","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}

Recently, pre-processing the received signal by higher order derivatives has shown to provide an aggressive right tail suppression of the channel impulse response resulting in efficient ISI mitigation, and enabling the achievement of an order of magnitude increase in data rate while preserving reliability. However, the gains of derivative-based DBMC receivers are heavily dependent on the proper selection of the derivative order. In order to further improve the efficacy of derivative-based DBMC receivers, detector design and derivative order optimization is addressed in this study. Herein, the well-known fixed sample, fixed threshold detector (FSTD) detector is generalized to work with the derivative operator. For the derivative operator-FSTD pair, a signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio-like (SINR) cost function is introduced to optimize the derivative order. Numerical results confirm the accuracy of the SINR in derivative order optimization, and the efficacy of the derivative-aided FSTD strategy in terms of error performance.","PeriodicalId":303880,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eight Annual ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132392878","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}

Plasmonic sensing has been proven to provide unprecedented detection reliability and resolution in a very compact form factor. Traditional plasmonic sensors leverage biofunctionalized metallic grating structures whose frequency response in transmission and/or reflection changes according to the presence of targeted biomarkers. However, these sensing setups require the use of bulky measurement equipment to couple light to and from sensors for excitation and detection. In parallel, for over a decade, the nanoscale electromagnetic communication community has been leveraging plasmonic structures to efficiently transmit information at the nanoscale. By combining the two realms, in this paper, the concept of joint nanoscale communication and sensing enabled by plasmonic sensing nano-antennas is proposed. First, the changes in the frequency response of a biofunctionalized plasmonic nano-antenna when exposed to different biomarkers are modeled. Then, a chirp-spread spectrum excitation and detection system is proposed as a way to enable simultaneous communication and sensing at the nanoscale. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":303880,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Eight Annual ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125208272","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}
