Divergent age-dependent peripheral immune transcriptomic profile following traumatic brain injury
(Springer Nature, 2019-06-12)
The peripheral immune system is a major regulator of the pathophysiology associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). While age-at-injury influences recovery from TBI, the differential effects on the peripheral immune ...
Intersections: Resilience
(Virginia Tech. University Libraries, 2018-11-07)
This discussion panel unpacks the political, economic, and social impacts of resilience. Panelists speak to resilience in the trade industry, climate change, the human body, and the commonalities between the three.

Erika Meitner discusses her new book: Ideal Cities. This collection of autobiographical narrative and lyric poems explores the relationship between body and place—specifically the pleasures and dangers of women’s corporeal ...
DeepARG: a deep learning approach for predicting antibiotic resistance genes from metagenomic data
(2018-02-01)
Background
Growing concerns about increasing rates of antibiotic resistance call for expanded and comprehensive global monitoring. Advancing methods for monitoring of environmental media (e.g., wastewater, agricultural ...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a perennial warm-season grass indigenous to the eastern USA, has potential as a biofuels feedstock. The objective of this study was to investigate the performance of upland and lowland ...
Alterations in Brain Connectivity Underlying Beta Oscillations in Parkinsonism
(PLOS, 2011-08-11)
Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits are severely disrupted by the dopamine depletion of Parkinson’s disease (PD), leading to pathologically exaggerated beta oscillations. Abnormal rhythms, found in several circuit ...
Peak frequency in the theta and alpha bands correlates with human working memory capacity
(Frontiers, 2010-11-11)
Theta oscillations in the local field potential of neural ensembles are considered key mediators of human working memory. Theoretical accounts arising from animal hippocampal recordings propose that the phase of theta ...
LRRTM1 underlies synaptic convergence in visual thalamus
(eLife, 2018-02-09)
It has long been thought that the mammalian visual system is organized into parallel pathways, with incoming visual signals being parsed in the retina based on feature (e.g. color, contrast and motion) and then transmitted ...
Environmental Information Improves Robotic Search Performance
(Virginia Tech, 2016)
We address the problem where a mobile search agent seeks to find an unknown number of stationary objects distributed in a bounded search domain, and the search mission is subject to time/distance constraint. Our work ...
