Solidifying framework nucleic acids

正Living organisms have developed their unique strategies during the natural evolution for building hard tissues with minerals, including silica, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and ferric oxide [1]. Such biomineralized materials generally have complex hierarchical structures with excellent mechanical properties. Although bioinspired approaches have led to the creation of well-defined synthetic structural materials ranging from micro to macro scales, the rational design of discrete biomimetic structures at the nanoscale remains a grand challenge.     

Compactness of Some Operators of Convolution Type in Generalized Morrey Spaces

Sufficient conditions for the compactness in generalized Morrey spaces of the composition of a convolution operator and the operator of multiplication by an essentially bounded function are obtained. Very weak conditions on the function are also obtained under which the commutator of the operator of multiplication by such a function and a convolution operator is compact. The compactness of convolution operators in domains of cone type is investigated.     

Effects of multiple delays on dynamics of a five-neuron network model

A five-neuron network model with multiple delays is proposed. This paper presents the combined effect of different delays on the dynamics of the proposed network. Pitchfork bifurcation is discussed in detail with the variation of the value of coupled weight or attenuation rate of internal neurons. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation, some stable criteria on delay-dependence and delay-independence are derived including multiple delays and coupled weights and the periodic oscillation arises bifurcated from the trivial equilibrium after the network loses its stability. Stable regions on delay-dependence are displayed in the two delayed parameter plane. It is shown that multiple delays can produce stability switching between resting state and periodic activity. Finally, theoretical results are justified by providing two illustrative examples.     

Properties of Polyurethanes Prepared by Structuring Oligodienediols at Double Bonds and Hydroxyl Groups

The curing of oligodienediol with a combined system consisting of a polyisocyanate and a (meth)acrylate-containing compound, which allows it to be structured with the polyisocyanate both at the terminal hydroxyl groups and double bonds due to the (meth)acrylate component, has been studied. The effect of the concentration of the (meth)acrylate component and a peroxide initiator to the degree of cross linking and strength properties of elastomers has been revealed. It has been shown that the participation of oligomer double bonds to form a vulcanization structure, creating the effect of “healing” defects from functional heterogeneity, allows one to increase the degree of cross linking and strength properties of polyurethanes.     

Infinitely many reducts of homogeneous structures

It is shown that the countably infinite dimensional pointed vector space (the vector space equipped with a constant) over a finite field has infinitely many first order definable reducts. This implies that the countable homogeneous Boolean-algebra has infinitely many reducts.
