Gene Augmentation Therapy for Usher Syndrome 1B (UCLA Case No. 2023-138) UCLA researchers in the Department of Ophthalmology have developed a novel approach to cure Usher Syndrome 1B. BACKGROUND: Usher syndrome is defined as a condition whose major symptoms are deafness or hearing loss, and an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which affects vision. The ear-related effects of Usher’s disease are caused...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...
