Control of the transition of laminar flow to turbulence would result in lower drag and reduced energy consumption in many engineering applications. A spectral state-space model of linearised plane Poiseuille flow with wall transpiration ac¬tuation and wall shear measurements is …

Recent evidence indicates that the morphology and density of dendritic spines are regulated during synaptic plasticity. High-frequency stimuli that induce long-term potentiation (LTP) have been associated with increases in the number and size of spines. In contrast, low-frequenc…
