Syntheses of Novel Chiral Calix[4]crown: Lariat Calix[4]-1,3-aza-crowns with Chiral Amino Acid Groups as Branched Chains

The first examples of lariat calix[4]-1,3-aza-crowns with chiral amino acid groups as branched chains (5a and 5b) were designed and synthesized via a 1 + 1 addition reaction of calix[4]-1,3-substituted benzaldehyde derivative (4) and amino acid hydrazide derivatives (3a and 3b) in yields of 70% and 75%, respectively. The preliminary extraction experiments suggested that hosts 5a and 5b possessed good complexation abilities for α-amino acids.

Synchronization transition in gap-junction-coupled leech neurons

Real neurons can exhibit various types of firings including tonic spiking, bursting as well as silent state, which are frequently observed in neuronal electrophysiological experiments. More interestingly, it is found that neurons can demonstrate the co-existing mode of stable tonic spiking and bursting, which depends on initial conditions. In this paper, synchronization in gap-junction-coupled neurons with co-existing attractors of spiking and bursting firings is investigated as the coupling strength gets increased. Synchronization transitions can be identified by means of the bifurcation diagram and the correlation coefficient. It is illustrated that the coupled neurons can exhibit different types of synchronization transitions between spiking and bursting when the coupling strength increases. In the course of synchronization transitions, an intermittent synchronization can be observed. These results may be instructive to understand synchronization transitions in neuronal systems.

Sub-pixel dimensional measurement with Logistic edge model

To separate substandard workpieces from products, sub-pixel edge location with Logistic edge model is proposed for dimensional measurement. In the first step, workpiece rotation is corrected with high precision image rotation to reduce the measurement error and simplify the edge model. Secondly, Logistic edge model is utilized for fitting the discrete edge data to locate the sub-pixel workpiece edge and model parameters are estimated through the objective function in terms of the difference between assumed model and real image data. Finally, an edge pixel compensation method is presented with edge pixel compensation value, which weakens the effect of edge transition zone effectively. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective for dimensional measurement with the relative error less than 0.05%.     

Dynamical behaviors of Hopfield neural network with multilevel activation functions

When the activation function possesses multilevel property, the Hopfield neural network has some novel dynamical behaviors, and it is worthwhile to study. First, some properties about the activation function are obtained, on this foundation, some theoretical analysis about the quasi-equilibrium points has been made. From local and global view, some theorems about the boundedness are presented. Finally, two theorems about the first derivative of trajectory with respect to time are found, the first theorem indicates that the trajectory cannot keep increasing or decreasing for time t > t₀, the second theorem is about the complete stability of the trajectory.
