Neurodynamics analysis of cochlear hair cell activity

There have been many studies on the effect of cochlea basal membrane movement on the resolution of different frequencies and intensities. However, these studies did not take into account the influence of power and energy consumption of the hair cells in the process of the electromotility movement, as well as the neurodynamic mechanism that produced this effect. This makes previous studies unable to fully clarify the function of outer hair cells(OHCs) and the mechanism of sound amplification. To this end, we introduce the gate conductance characteristics of the hair cells in the mechanical process of increasing frequency selectivity. The research finds that the low attenuation of OHCs membrane potential and the high gain in OHC power and energy consumption caused that OHC amplification is driven by electromotility. The research results show that the amplification of the OHCs is driven by low attenuation of membrane potential and high gain of power and energy consumption. This conclusion profoundly reveals the physiological mechanism of the electromotility movement.     

Design of spectral-spatial outer volume suppression RF pulses for tissue specific metabolic characterization with hyperpolarized C pyruvate

[1-¹³C] pyruvate pre-polarized via DNP has been used in animal models to probe changes in metabolic enzyme activities in vivo. To more accurately assess the metabolic state and its change from disease progression or therapy in a specific region or tissue in vivo, it may be desirable to separate the downstream ¹³C metabolite signals resulting from the metabolic activity within the tissue of interest and those brought into the tissue by perfusion. In this study, a spectral-spatial saturation pulse that selectively saturates the signal from the metabolic products [1-¹³C] lactate and [1-¹³C] alanine was designed and implemented as outer volume suppression for localized MRSI acquisition. Preliminary in vivo results showed that the suppression pulse did not prevent the pre-polarized pyruvate from being delivered throughout the animal while it saturated the metabolites within the targeted saturation region.     

Mathematical programming approaches for generating p-efficient points

Probabilistically constrained problems, in which the random variables are finitely distributed, are non-convex in general and hard to solve. The p-efficiency concept has been widely used to develop efficient methods to solve such problems. Those methods require the generation of p-efficient points (pLEPs) and use an enumeration scheme to identify pLEPs. In this paper, we consider a random vector characterized by a finite set of scenarios and generate pLEPs by solving a mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem. We solve this computationally challenging MIP problem with a new mathematical programming framework. It involves solving a series of increasingly tighter outer approximations and employs, as algorithmic techniques, a bundle preprocessing method, strengthening valid inequalities, and a fixing strategy. The method is exact (resp., heuristic) and ensures the generation of pLEPs (resp., quasi pLEPs) if the fixing strategy is not (resp., is) employed, and it can be used to generate multiple pLEPs. To the best of our knowledge, generating a set of pLEPs using an optimization-based approach and developing effective methods for the application of the p-efficiency concept to the random variables described by a finite set of scenarios are novel. We present extensive numerical results that highlight the computational efficiency and effectiveness of the overall framework and of each of the specific algorithmic techniques.     

An alogrithm for monotonic global optimization problems ∗

We propose an algorithm to locate a global maximum of an increasing function subject to an increasing constraint on the cone of vectors with nonnegative coordinates. The algorithm is based on the outer approximation of the feasible set. We eastablish the con vergence of the algorithm and provide a number of numerical experiments. We also discuss the types of constraints and objective functions for which the algorithm is best suited     

Existence and stability of solutions to the compressible Euler equations with an outer force

We study the compressible Euler equation with an outer force. The global existence theorem has been proved in many papers, provided that the outer force is bounded. However, the stability of their solutions has not yet been obtained until now. Our goal in this paper is to prove the existence of a global solution without such an assumption as boundedness. Moreover, we deduce a uniformly bounded estimate with respect to the time. This yields the stability of the solution.When we prove the global existence, the most difficult point is to obtain the bounded estimate for approximate solutions. To overcome this, we employ an invariant region, which depends on both space and time variables. To use the invariant region, we introduce a modified difference scheme. To prove their convergence, we apply the compensated compactness framework.
