Ultrafast endocytosis at Caenorhabditis elegans neuromuscular junctions
eLife, 2013 Synaptic vesicles can be released at extremely high rates, which places an extraordinary demand on the recycling machinery. Previous ultrastructural studies of vesicle recycling were conducted in dissected preparations using an intense stimulation to ...

The Presynaptic Active Zone [PDF]
Neuron, 2012 Neurotransmitters are released by synaptic vesicle exocytosis at the active zone of a presynaptic nerve terminal. In this review, I discuss the molecular composition and function of the active zone. Active zones are composed of an evolutionarily conserved protein complex containing as core constituents RIM, Munc13, RIM-BP, α-liprin, and ELKS proteins ...

Seismicity relocation and fault structure near the Leech River Fault Zone, southern Vancouver Island [PDF]
, 2018 Relatively low rates of seismicity and fault loading have made it challenging to correlate microseismicity to mapped surface faults on the forearc of southern Vancouver Island.

eLife, 2022 Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) mediate Ca2+ influx to trigger neurotransmitter release at specialized presynaptic sites termed active zones (AZs). The abundance of VGCCs at AZs regulates neurotransmitter release probability (Pr), a key presynaptic ...

A multiscale constitutive model for intergranular stress corrosion cracking in type 304 austenitic stainless steel [PDF]
, 2013 Intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) is a fracture mechanism in sensitised austenitic stainless steels exposed to critical environments where the intergranular cracks extends along the network of connected susceptible grain boundaries.

An Integrated Framework for Sensing Radio Frequency Spectrum Attacks on Medical Delivery Drones
, 2020 Drone susceptibility to jamming or spoofing attacks of GPS, RF, Wi-Fi, and operator signals presents a danger to future medical delivery systems. A detection framework capable of sensing attacks on drones could provide the capability for active responses.
