Passivity and synchronization of coupled different dimensional delayed reaction-diffusion neural networks with dirichlet boundary conditions
Two types of coupled different dimensional delayed reaction-diffusion neural network (CDDDRDNN) models without and with parametric uncertainties are analyzed in this paper. On the one hand, passivity and synchronization of the raised network model with certain parameters are studied through exploiting some inequality techniques and Lyapunov stability theory, and some adequate conditions are established. On the other hand, the problems of robust passivity and robust synchronization of CDDDRDNNs with parameter uncertainties are solved. Finally, two numerical examples are given to testify the effectiveness of the derived passivity and synchronization conditions
Log symplectic manifolds and
We show, under an orientation hypothesis, that a log symplectic manifold with
simple normal crossing singularities has a stable almost complex structure, and
hence is Spin. In the compact Hamiltonian case we prove that the index of
the Spin Dirac operator twisted by a prequantum line bundle satisfies a
theorem.Comment: 23 page

Symplectic reduction and a Darboux-Moser-Weinstein theorem for Lie algebroids
We extend the Marsden-Weinstein reduction theorem and the
Darboux-Moser-Weinstein theorem to symplectic Lie algebroids. We also obtain a
coisotropic embedding theorem for symplectic Lie algebroids
Event-triggered passivity of multi-weighted coupled delayed reaction-diffusion memristive neural networks with fixed and switching topologies
This paper solves the event-triggered passivity problem for multiple-weighted coupled delayed reaction-diffusion memristive neural networks (MWCDRDMNNs) with fixed and switching topologies. On the one side, by designing appropriate event-triggered controllers, several passivity criteria for MWCDRDMNNs with fixed topology are derived based on the Lyapunov functional method and some inequality techniques. Moreover, some adequate conditions for ensuring asymptotical stability of the event-triggered passive network are presented. On the other side, we take the switching topology in network model into consideration, and investigate the event-triggered passivity and passivity-based synchronization for MWCDRDMNNs with switching topology. Finally, two examples with numerical simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results
Mixed Quantum/Classical Method for Nonadiabatic Quantum Dynamics in Explicit Solvent Models: The ππ∗/nπ∗ Decay of Thymine in Water as a Test Case
We present a novel mixed quantum classical dynamical method to include solvent effects on internal conversion (IC) processes. All the solute degrees of freedom are represented by a wavepacket moving according to nonadiabatic quantum dynamics, while the motion of an explicit solvent model is described by an ensemble of classical trajectories. The mutual coupling of the solute and solvent dynamics is included within a mean-field framework and the quantum and classical equations of motions are solved simultaneously. As a test case we apply our method to the ultrafast ππ∗ → nπ∗ decay of thymine in water. Solvent dynamical response modifies IC yield already on the 50 fs time scale. This effect is due to water librational motions that stabilize the most populated state. Pure static disorder, that is, the existence of different solvent configurations when photoexcitation takes place, also has a remarkable impact on the dynamicsThe support of MIUR (PRIN 2010-2011 prot. 2010ERFKXL) is acknowledged.

Novel approach of electroshock treatment for defect repair in near-β titanium alloy manufactured via directed energy deposition
© 2021, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International. A subsecond and novel approach of electroshock treatment (EST) is used in this study to repair defects in directed-energy-deposited Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Zr near-β titanium alloy. After EST, the porosity of the specimen decreased significantly from 0.81 to 0.1 pct. Large cracks observed at the bottom of the above mentioned near-β titanium alloy became intermittent small cracks and the number of voids decreased. The defects in the top and middle regions of the specimens are repaired. The potential defect repair is attributable to energy concentration, which promoted the coalescence of defect tips, and thermal stresses, which compressed the defects inward and closed them
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of MicroRNA Processing Machinery Genes and Outcome of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
MicroRNA (miRNA)-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (miR-SNPs) can affect cancer development, treatment efficacy and patients prognosis. We examined 6 miR-SNPs in miRNA processing machinery genes including exportin 5 (XPO5) (rs11077), Ran-GTPase (RAN) (rs14035), Dicer (rs3742330), Trinucleotide Repeat Containing 6B (TNRC6B) (rs9623117), GEMIN3 (rs197412), GEMIN4 (rs2740348) in 108 surgically resected HCC patients and evaluated the impact of these miR-SNPs on HCC outcome. Among the 6 SNPs, only the A/A genotype of rs11077 located in XPO5 3′UTR was identified to associated independently with worse survival in HCC patients by multivariate analysis with relative risk, 0.395; 95% CI, 0.167–0.933; p = 0.034. This is the first study reporting that polymorphisms related to miRSNPs have prognostic value in hepatocellular carcinoma and identify the A/A genotype of rs11077 SNP site located in XPO5 3′UTR can help to predict worse prognosis in patients
