Exponential p-stability of delayed Cohen–Grossberg-type BAM neural networks with impulses

An impulsive Cohen–Grossberg-type bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with distributed delays is studied. Some new sufficient conditions are established for the existence and global exponential stability of a unique equilibrium without strict conditions imposed on self regulation functions. The approaches are based on Laypunov–Kravsovskii functional and homeomorphism theory. When our results are applied to the BAM neural networks, our results generalize some previously known results. It is believed that these results are significant and useful for the design and applications of Cohen–Grossberg-type bidirectional associative memory networks.     

A crystallographic investigation of phosphoantigen binding to isopentenyl pyrophosphate/dimethylallyl pyrophosphate isomerase

We report the crystallographic structures of the potent phosphoantigens Phosphostim (the bromohydrin of isopentenyl pyrophosphate) and E-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate bound to the mevalonate pathway enzyme isopentenyl pyrophosphate/dimethylallyl pyrophosphate isomerase (IPPI). Racemic Phosphostim forms covalent complexes with IPPI: a 4-thioether with C67 and a 4-ester with E116. Only the E116 ester forms with the chiral species, S-Phosphostim, with the w.t. enzyme, while the C67 thioether forms with a mutant Y104F IPPI. The potent phosphoantigen HMBPP also binds to IPPI, but is only a weak ( approximately 50 muM) inhibitor. These results strongly support an SN2 reaction for inhibition of IPPI by Phosphostim, in contrast to the SN1 or concerted type of reaction found with epoxide inhibitors, which react at C-3, and are of general interest in the context of the development of novel mevalonate pathway inhibitors. They also provide clues as to the nature of the binding site of synthetic phosphoantigens in gammadelta T cell activation. In particular, both bromohydrin and epoxy phosphoantigens are potent, irreversible inhibitors of IPPI while HMBPP is only a weak inhibitor, ruling out an IPPI or IPPI-like target for HMBPP in gammadelta T cell activation.     

短碳链醇/水混合溶剂中表面活性剂的表面性质

对不同类型表面活性剂(阳离子型、阴离子型、非离子型、正负混合型)在短碳链醇/水混合溶剂中的表面物化性质进行了较为系统的研究,探讨了短碳链醇加入对体系Υcmc值和cmc值的影响。发现各类体系的Υcmc随短碳链醇加入的变化规律并非决定于表面活性剂类型而取决于该表面活性剂在水溶液中的饱和吸附量和Υcmc值的大小。

提出了一种把减基法嵌套在Newmark法中快速求解动力问题的混合算法.这种算法把Newmark法作为动力问题的基本求解器.而在嵌套减基法时,把参数样本空间对应的解集做成一个训练空间,采用贪婪算法进行减基空间基向量的自适应选取,进而由减基空间得到减缩系统.通过求解减缩系统对应的Newmark增量式来达到快速求解动力问题的目的.最后采用了一个无限大的功能梯度材料板的瞬态响应分析来验证文中方法的高效性和精确性.     

Rational construction of self-assembly azobenzene derivative monolayers with photoswitchable surface properties

hoto-responsive azobenzene (ABZ) derivatives with different end groups (R) were employed to construct selfassembled monolayers (SAMs) on silicon substrates. The SAMs based on hydrophilic (4-(4'-aminophenylazo) benzoic acid, ABZ-COOH) show excellent reversible photoswitching performance with a large contact angle change of 35° under optimized process.     

Tadehaginoside modulates lipogenesis and glucose consumption in HepG2 cells

Tadehaginoside (TS) is a phenylpropanoid glycoside found in Tadehagi triquetrum, a medicinal plant with multiple biological activities. This study investigated the effect of TS on lipogenesis and glucose consumption in HepG2 cells. Treatment with TS inhibited lipid accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. This inhibition was closely associated with the downregulation of lipogenic genes such as SREBP-1a, SREBP-2 and their downstream targets (FAS, ACC, HMGR) and the upregulation of lipolytic gene PPARα as revealed by real-time quantitative PCR. Further investigation showed that TS significantly stimulated glucose consumption by HepG2 cells and glucose uptake by C2C12 myotubes, which could be partially explained by the upregulation of PPARγ. Collectively, these results clearly indicate that TS is an effective regulator of lipogenesis and glucose consumption, which could be useful in treatment of obesity and diabetes.
