In this thesis, we present different approaches to tying knots using robots by enforcing different types of constraints. We attack the problem from three different directions; mechanical design, motion planning with simple control strategies, and...

One of the principle aims of ecology is to understand variations in organism abundance over time. Some species and species assemblages exhibit exceptionally dynamic changes in abundance or biomass, while other species and species assemblages are...
Voltage-dependent sodium channels (Na v ) are critical determinants of the ability of a neuron to generate and propagate action potentials. While a large family of Na v isoforms has been identified, the impact of specific isoforms on the electrical...
