小世界神经元网络随机共振现象:混合突触和部分时滞的影响

实际神经元网络中,信息传递时电突触和化学突触同时存在,并且有些神经元间的时滞很小可以忽略.本文构建了带有不同类型突触耦合的小世界网络,研究部分时滞、混合突触及噪声对随机共振的影响.结果表明:兴奋性和抑制性突触的比例影响共振的产生;在抑制性突触为主的网络里,几乎不产生随机共振.系统最佳噪声强度和化学突触比例大致呈线性递增关系;特别是在以化学耦合为主的混合突触网络里,仅当兴奋性突触与抑制性突触比例约为4:1时,噪声才可诱导网络产生共振行为.在此比例下,引入部分时滞发现时滞可诱导网络产生随机多共振,且随网络中时滞边比例的增加,系统响应强度达到最优水平的时滞取值区间逐渐变窄;同时发现,网络中含有的化学突触越多,部分时滞诱导产生的多共振行为越强.此外,当时滞为系统固有周期的整数倍时,时滞越大共振所对应的噪声区域越广;并且网络中时滞边越多,越容易促使噪声和时滞诱导其产生明显的共振行为.     

Green synthesis of palladium nanoparticles using broth of Cinnamomum camphora leaf

The development of dependable, environmentally benign processes for the synthesis of nanoscale materials is an important aspect of nanotechnology. In the present study, we report one-pot biogenic fabrication of palladium nanoparticles by a simple procedure using broth of Cinnamomum camphora leaf without extra surfactant, capping agent, and/or template. The mean size of palladium nanoparticles, ranging from 3.2 to 6.0 nm, could be facilely controlled by merely varying the initial concentration of the palladium ions. The polyols components and the heterocyclic components were believed to be responsible for the reduction of palladium ions and the stabilization of palladium nanoparticles, respectively.     

Left–right asymmetry for pion and kaon production in the semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering process

We analyze the left–right asymmetry in the semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) process without introducing any weighting functions. With the current theoretical understanding, we find that the Sivers effect plays a key role in our analysis. We use the latest parametrization of the Sivers and fragmentation functions to reanalyze the π ^± production process and find that the results are sensitive to the parametrization. We also extend our calculation on the K ^± production, which can help us know more about the Sivers distribution of the sea quarks and the unfavored fragmentation processes. HERMES kinematics with a proton target, COMPASS kinematics with a proton, deuteron, and neutron target (the information on the neutron target can be effectively extracted from the ³He target), and JLab kinematics (both 6 GeV and 12 GeV) with a proton and neutron target are considered in our paper.     

The melting curve of CaSiO3 perovskite under lower mantle pressures

The high pressure melting curve of CaSiO₃ perovskite is simulated by using the constant temperature and pressure molecular dynamics method combined with effective pair potentials for the first time. The simulated results for the partial radial distribution function all compare well with experiment. The calculated equation of state is very successful in accurately reproducing the recent experimental data over a wide pressure range. The predicted high pressure melting curve is in good agreement with the experimental ones, and the melting curve up to the core–mantle boundary pressure, being very steep at lower pressures, rapidly flattens on increasing pressure. The present results also suggest the validity of the experimental data of Zerr and Boehler.     

The slip boundary condition in the dynamics of solid particles immersed in Stokesian flows

This paper reviews the classical theories of the dynamics of solid particles in a viscous flow via traditional Navier–Stokes/Stokes equations with slip or nonslip boundary conditions, and also studies a corresponding dynamical equation. The emphasis of this paper is on the explicit expressions of the slip effect at the solid-fluid boundary in the dynamics of solid particles in Stokesian fluids.

Tracking of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells labeled with fluorescent magnetic nanoparticle in liver cirrhosis rat model with 3-T MRI

In vivo visualization of transplanted stem cells with noninvasive technique is essential for the monitoring of cell implantation, homing and differentiation. At present, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) is most commonly used for cell labeling. However, stem cells lack phagocytic capacity and transfection agent is required for sufficient internalization of SPIO for cellular imaging. However, the potential hazards of transfection agents are not fully investigated. Instead of SPIO, we used commercially available new tagging material, fluorescent magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) containing rhodamine B isothiocyanate within a silica shell (Biterials, Seoul, Korea). This tagging material does not require transfection agents for the cell labeling. In addition to that, the core of this MNP is composed of ferrite and the inner portion of silica shell contains fluorescent materials, therefore, it has both magnetic and optical features. This study was designed to track intrasplenically injected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) labeled with fluorescent MNP in liver cirrhosis rat model with 3-T magnetic resonance equipment. We compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of livers in rats which were injected with non-labeled stem cells or labeled stem cells with MNP or SPIO. We found that the respective liver-to-muscle contrast-to-noise ratios at 3 and 5 h after MNP or SPIO-labeled stem cell injection was significantly lower than that of pre-injection and non-labeled group. There was no significant difference between MNP-labeled group and SPIO-labeled group. We can effectively detect intrasplenically injected MNP-labeled MSCs in an experimental rat model of liver cirrhosis with 3-T MRI.     

Magnetic properties and in compound magnetocaloric effect PrFe12B6

Magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of compound PrFe12B6 are investigated. The coexistence of hard phase PrFe12B6 and soft phase α-Fe causes interesting phenomena on the curves for the temperature dependence of magnetization. PrFe12B6 experiences a first order phase transition at the Curie temperature 206 K, accompanied by an obvious lattice contraction, which in turn results in a large magnetic entropy change. The Maxwell relation fails to give the correct information about magnetic entropy change due to the first order phase transition nature. The large magnetic entropy changes of PrFe12.3B4.7 obtained from heat capacity method are 11.7 and 16.2 J/kg.K for magnetic field changes of 0-2 T and 0-5 T respectively.
