We consider an interacting particle system in \(\mathbb {R}^d\) modelled as a system of N stochastic differential equations. The limiting behaviour as the size N grows to infinity is achieved as a law of large numbers for the empirical density process associated with the interacting particle system. 相似文献
The recent global COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that the current healthcare system in modern society can hardly cope with the increased number of patients. Part of the load can be alleviated by incorporating smart healthcare infrastructure in the current system to enable patient’s remote monitoring and personalized treatment. Technological advances in communications and sensing devices have enabled the development of new, portable, and more power-efficient biomedical sensors, as well as innovative healthcare applications. Nevertheless, such applications require reliable, resilient, and secure networks. This paper aims to identify the communication requirements for mass deployment of such smart healthcare sensors by providing the overview of underlying Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. Moreover, it highlights the importance of information theory in understanding the limits and barriers in this emerging field. With this motivation, the paper indicates how data compression and entropy used in security algorithms may pave the way towards mass deployment of such IoT healthcare devices. Future medical practices and paradigms are also discussed. 相似文献

Analytical quality by design (AQbD)-oriented liquid chromatographic method development for determination of telmisartan and its impurities A, C, and 1 is determination is presented. Step-by-step process was conducted in order to define reliable design space. At the beginning, critical process parameters with the highest influence on method performance were defined: acetonitrile content in the first (ACN 1) and second (ACN 2) gradient step and time (t2) the second gradient step. These factors were varied according to Box–Behnken plan of experiments and their influence on retention times of impurities A and C, S value between telmisartan and impurity 1 and peak capacity were followed. In this way, the relationship between the critical process parameters and critical quality attributes was established. The obtained mathematical models and Monte Carlo simulations were used to identify the design space. Fractional factorial design was applied for experimental robustness testing, and the method was validated to verify the adequacy of selected optimal conditions. Finally, all validation parameters were tested, and adequacy of the method was confirmed. Applicability as a routine method was confirmed by analysis of commercially available tablets. 相似文献
In this investigation, a novel coating for viscose fabric surface modification was developed using a synergistic formulation between a natural antimicrobial cationic surfactant from lysine (MKM) and a biopolymer hyaluronic acid (HA). The interaction between MKM and HA in aqueous solutions, as well as the interactions between their synergistic formulation (HA-MKM) and viscose fabric (CV) were studied using pH-potentiometric titrations’, turbidity measurements, the Kjeldahl method for the determination of nitrogen amounts, attenuated total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The hydrophilic and antimicrobial properties of the functionalised CV were examined in order to evaluate its usages for medical applications. The results of the interaction studies showed that MKM and HA interact with each other by forming a precipitate when the binding sites of HA are saturated. The precipitate has a slightly positive charge at neutral pH due to excess binding of the MKM to HA. The excess positive charge was also detected on CV coated with HA-MKM. This was proven to be very beneficial for the antimicrobial properties of the functionalised CV. The antimicrobial tests showed exceptional antimicrobial activity of the functionalised CV against Escherichia Coli, StaphylococcusAureus, StreptococcusAgalactiae, Candida Albicans, and Candida Glabrata, making the CV fabric highly interesting for potential use in medicine. 相似文献
New estrane salicyloyloxy or D-homo derivatives were synthesized under microwave (MW) or conventional heating from estrane precursors and methyl salicylate. The MW technique provides advantages regarding product yield and reaction time, and represents a more environmentally friendly approach than conventional heating. Considering the biomedical potential of estrane compounds, we evaluated the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of synthesized estrane derivatives in a series of in vitro tests, as well as their 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/Δ5 → Δ4 isomerase (3βHSD) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase types 1, 2 and 3 (17βHSD1, 17βHSD2 and 17βHSD3) inhibition potentials. In DPPH tests, 3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17β-yl salicylate displayed antioxidant potential, while all compounds exhibited OH radical neutralization activity. 3-Oxoestr-4-en-17β-yl salicylate showed strong cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, while 17-oxoestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-3-yl salicylate, estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diyl 3-benzoate 17-salicylate and 3-benzyloxy-17-salicyloyloxy-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile showed the strongest inhibition of PC-3 prostate cancer cell growth. 3-Hydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17β-yl salicylate was the best inhibitor of 17βHSD2, suggesting potential use in treating pathological conditions associated with estrogen depletion. For 3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17β-yl salicylate and 3-oxoestr-4-en-17β-yl salicylate, X-ray crystal structure analysis and molecular energy optimization were performed to define their conformations and energy minima. Very good overlap in the region of the steroidal nucleus was observed for the molecular structures of each analyzed molecule in the crystalline state and after energy optimization, while conformer analysis indicates conformational flexibility in the form of rotation around the C17···O2 bond. Structural geometry analysis for these compounds shows that the region of ring A in steroids, and especially the C3 atom functional group, is important structural features concerning antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231 cells.
We present new sharp embedding theorems for mixed-norm analytic spaces in pseudoconvex domains with smooth boundary. New related sharp results in minimal bounded homogeneous domains in higher dimension are also provided. Last domains we consider are domains which are direct generalizations of the well-studied so-called bounded symmetric domains in Cn. Our results were known before only in the very particular case of domains of such type in the unit ball. As in the unit ball case, all our proofs are heavily based on nice properties of the r-lattice. Some results of this paper can be also obtained in some unbounded domains, namely tubular domains over symmetric cones. 相似文献
A new sensitive potentiometric surfactant sensor was prepared based on a highly lipophilic 1,3-didecyl-2-methyl-imidazolium cation and a tetraphenylborate antagonist ion. This sensor was used as a sensing material and incorporated into the plasticized PVC-membrane. The sensor responded fast and showed a Nernstian response for investigated surfactant cations: cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Hyamine with slope 59.8, 58.6 and 56.8 mV/decade, respectively. The sensor served as an end-point detector in ion-pair surfactant potentiometric titrations using sodium tetraphenylborate as titrant. Several technical grade cationic surfactants and a few commercial disinfectant products were also titrated, and the results were compared with those obtained from a two-phase standard titration method. The sensor showed satisfactory analytical performances within a pH range of 2-11, and exhibited excellent selectivity performance for CPC compared to all of the organic and inorganic cations investigated. The influence of the nonionic surfactants on the shape of titration curves was negligible if the mass ratio of ethoxylated nonionic surfactants and cationic surfactants (EONS:CS) was not greater than 5. 相似文献
