The communication, technically referred to as connectivity, between single-neurons, is the center of many investigations aimed at elucidating pathophysiology, anatomical differences, and structural and functional features. In comparison with bulk analysis, single-neuron analysis can provide precise information about neurons or even sub-neuron level electrophysiology, anatomical differences, pathophysiology, structural and functional features, in addition to their communications with other neurons, and can promote essential information to understand the brain and its activity. This review highlights various single-neuron models and their behaviors, followed by different analysis methods. Again, to elucidate cellular dynamics in terms of electrophysiology at the single-neuron level, we emphasize in detail the role of single-neuron mapping and electrophysiological recording. We also elaborate on the recent development of single-neuron isolation, manipulation, and therapeutic progress using advanced micro/nanofluidic devices, as well as microinjection, electroporation, microelectrode array, optical transfection, optogenetic techniques.

Meyer Spring 2006 SEABUS-HYDAER: WING SUSTAINING MEMBERS ASSISTED HYDROFOIL oday there is a general need to transport passengers, cars and cargo Tby sea using methods that are safe, fast and cost-effective. European research is developing new types of ship to fulfill this demand. AEu- ropean project, SEABUS-HYDAER, is developing a completely new concept in marine transport: a hybrid between a plane and a ship. Al- though Seabus never leaves the water, most of its lift power is provided by its wings. This gives it the capacity to travel very fast. Ferries cur- rently in use have top speed of about 40 knots; Seabus beats this with a ______________________________ projected speed of about 120 knots (220 km/h) while using 20% less fuel. 2006 DUES ARE DUE Shown here are several renderings of the HYDAER concept.

    Revised Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration

    COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 300 Richards Boulevard DEPARTMENT Third Floor Sacramento, CA 95811 ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING SERVICES MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION The City of Sacramento, California, a municipal corporation, does hereby prepare, declare, and publish this Negative Declaration for the following described project: Trucking Terminal Yard Project (DR20-035) The proposed project, located on a 3.6-acre parcel on the 1200 block of Santa Ana Avenue between Dry Creek Road and Raley Boulevard, southeast of the intersection of Santa Ana Avenue with Dry Creek Road, in the northern portion of the City of Sacramento, Sacramento County would create a truck terminal to be used for overnight parking and storage of trucks with sleeper cabs and 53-foot trailers. Vehicles would typically be parked overnight and on weekends, with trucks entering the project site in the evening and exiting the site in the morning. The Lead Agency is the City of Sacramento. The City of Sacramento, Community Development Department, has reviewed the proposed project and, on the basis of the whole record before it, has determined that there is no substantial evidence that the project, as identified in the attached Initial Study, will have a significant effect on the environment. This Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the lead agency’s independent judgment and analysis. An Environmental Impact Report is not required pursuant to the Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (Sections 21000, et seq., Public Resources Code of the State of California). This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.
