Gamma-frequency entrainment using audiovisual 40 Hz flicker
Neural oscillations, or brain waves, are endogenous rhythms of synchronized electrical activity that are the result of communication between large groups of cortical and/or subcortical neurons. Using entrainment methodologies, ... -
Gastrointestinal Motility: Kinematic Properties of Segmentation Contraction
The kinematic processes of the small intestine play integral roles in overseeing the digestion and transportation of food throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Specifically responsible for governing the flow and digestion ... -
Gaussian Mixture Belief Space Reinforcement Learning
In reinforcement learning and optimal control, one successful approach to address system stochasticity and epistemic uncertainty in the dynamics model is to consider, rather than a single state, a distribution over the ... -
Gender Differences in Spatial Abilities
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-12-17)The purpose of this study is to summarize past research concerning gender differences in spatial abilities through the use of a detailed meta-analysis. Many investigators have claimed that there is a significant gender ... -
Gendering Health: The Reinforcement of Gender Stereotypes in Prescription Pharmaceutical Advertisements
The media has the power to influence what gender norms people internalize. When prescription direct-to-consumer advertisements (DTCA) use gender stereotypes to market and sell drugs, dominant gender notions of what is ... -
Generalizing Disease Associations to Non-Studied Populations
This study determines whether risk allele frequencies (RAFs) for common diseases can be generalized in genome wide association surveys (GWAS) that are done in different populations other than the original study population. ... -
Generalizing Single-View 3D Reconstruction
Single-view 3D reconstruction is a task in which an algorithm constructs a 3D model from a single image of an object without seeing the back side of that object or viewing any explicit depth information. We create a ... -
Generating Knowledge Graphs using GPT-J for Automated Story Generation Purposes
Automated story generation is a recent challenge in artificial intelligence that aims to create stories in coherent ways. While it’s made much progress, stories are still not coherent; however, a possible solution is to ... -
Generation and Stability of Charged Toroidal Droplets
In this project, we have determined the quantitative parameters governing the transition phases of charged toroidal droplets. An instability reminiscent of the Saffman-Taylor Instability (viscous fingers) has been observed ... -
Generation of T cell lines expressing wild type and mutant CD3ε FRET sensors and characterization of CD3ε regulation by plasma membrane binding
T cells are a crucial part of our adaptive immune response by protecting our system against pathogens and cancer. They recognize specific foreign peptides on the surface of antigen presenting cells (APC) through T cell ... -
Genetic Mechanisms of Telencephalon Diversification Through Shifts in the Pallial-Subpallial Boundary
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05-04)The vertebrate brain develops through the formation of compartments. These compartments are physically separated to allow for the proper differentiation of each structure within the brain. The telencephalon, a compartment ... -
Genetics of Captive Naked Mole-Rat Populations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-06-30)The evolution of highly social behavior (eusociality) represents one of the major transition points in evolutionary history. Naked mole-rats (NMRs), Heterocephalus glaber, are one of the few known eusocial mammals, meaning ... -
George: A visual analytics platform for social media applications
Anonymous social media applications have experienced explosive growth in recent years. These applications often organically partition users into distinct communities creating intimate communities that differ significantly ... -
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Response in a Preclinical Rat Model of mTBI Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Response in a Preclinical Rat Model of mTBI
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impairs populations both physically and financially, explaining about 75% of all head injuries and costing over $60 billion in the United States (Ahmed et.al, 2015 and Maas et. al, 2010). Through ... -
Glucose protects E. coli from death by the Vibrio cholerae type VI secretion system
Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the intestinal disease cholera, interacts with other bacteria in dense multispecies communities within both host and environmental settings. Using the harpoon-like type VI secretion ... -
Gold Nanoparticles Treatment in MCF-7 Spheroid Co-Cultures With Dendritic Cells
In the last decade biomaterials have increasingly been studied as the next generation of immunotherapeutic treatments for their tendency to induce host response against themselves when implanted. Addressing this significant ... -
Grammar Correction for Event-to-Sentence
Automated story generation is the problem of generating words and sentences with the goal of telling a coherent story. To date, we have the Event-to-Event model that can generate more events that give us the building blocks ... -
Granular Behavior of the Honey Bee Pollen Pellet and Associated Removal Mechanics
Honey bees collect and store pollen in the form of a pellet by packing the pollen grains together with regurgitated nectar. This research has indicated that the pollen pellet is a granulated suspension, i.e. a fluid that ... -
Graph Analytics Libraries Comparison
In this undergraduate research capstone project, we compare three popular graph analytics libraries, igraph, NetworkX and SNAP, by using four large real-world graphs with up to 69 million edges. We then examine the runtimes ... -
Graphene nanoribbon array fabrication by oxygen gas plasma etching through sub-micrometer porous filters
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-08-07)We investigate a novel method of fabricating a network of graphene nanoribbon structures. The process is a sharp departure from conventional nanolithographic techniques in both method and amount of time required. Epitaxial ...
