Coherent motion of stereocilia assures the concerted gating of hair-cell transduction channels
, 2009 The hair cell's mechanoreceptive organelle, the hair bundle, is highly sensitive because its transduction channels open over a very narrow range of displacements.

On Strongly Coupled Linear Elliptic Systems with Application to Otolith Membrane Distortion [PDF]
Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2008 Problem Statement: In this research, the author discussed the problems associated with the approximation of the mixed derivative terms appearing in strongly coupled linear elliptic systems by the finite difference method over irregular domains. To avoid the appearance of mixed derivative terms the author introduced a reformulation for the system ...
