On Axon-Axon Interaction Via Currents And Fields, Aman Chawla Jul 2017

On Axon-Axon Interaction Via Currents And Fields, Aman Chawla

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, we investigate coupling between axons in a tract, when the tract has an arbitrary cross-section, with the coupling being mediated by currents as well as electric fields. Under the current mediated setting, we develop a new master equation which captures the relative axonal geometry, specifically, the axon inclinations θi and the inter-axon distances Wip and perform a number of simulations. We observe synchronization in our simulations of axons with differing diameters and separation-dependent coupling delays in the case of non-trivial tract geometries. For the field-mediated interaction setting, we determine the electric near-field of a firing …


Auxiliary Roles In Stt-Mram Memory, Jayita Das Oct 2014

Auxiliary Roles In Stt-Mram Memory, Jayita Das

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Computer memories now play a key role in our everyday life given the increase in the number of connected smart devices and wearables. Recently post-CMOS memory technologies are gaining significant research attention along with the regular ones. Spin Transfer Torque Magnetoresistive RAM (STT-MRAM) is one such post-CMOS memory technology with a rapidly growing commercial interest and potential across diverse application platforms. Research has shown the ability of STT-MRAM to replace different levels of memory hierarchy as well. In brief, STT-MRAM possesses all the favorable properties of a universal memory technology. In this dissertation we have explored the roles of this …
