Direct numerical method for an inverse problem of a parabolic partial differential equation

A coefficient inverse problem of the one-dimensional parabolic equation is solved by a high-order compact finite difference method in this paper. The problem of recovering a time-dependent coefficient in a parabolic partial differential equation has attracted considerable attention recently. While many theoretical results regarding the existence and uniqueness of the solution are obtained, the development of efficient and accurate numerical methods is still far from satisfactory. In this paper a fourth-order efficient numerical method is proposed to calculate the function u(x,t) and the unknown coefficient a(t) in a parabolic partial differential equation. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the numerical method.     

On impulsive control for synchronization and its application to the nuclear spin generator system

The issue of impulsive control theory for the synchronization of the nuclear spin generator (NSG) chaotic systems is developed. We propose an impulsive control scheme for the complete synchronization of the NSG system including chaotic systems. A sufficient condition for the impulsive control is derived, with an easily calculated maximum impulsive interval. The proposed impulsive control scheme is applied to the NSG system and the simulation result demonstrates the effectiveness of the method.

Stability evaluation of Tc-99m radiolabeled GRPr antagonist with amino acid chelators

In order to select a chelator with excellent stability, easier radiolabeling process and low cost, GRPr antagonist RM26 with the amino acid based chelator was radiolabeled with technetium-99m. The stability of the radiolabeled peptides in PBS, serum as well as in the presence of excess cysteine was compared.

Denoising and copy attacks resilient watermarking by exploitingprior knowledge at detector

Watermarking with both oblivious detection and high robustness capabilities is still a challenging problem. In this paper, we tackle the aforementioned problem. One easy way to achieve blind detection is to use denoising for filtering out the hidden watermark, which can be utilized to create either a false positive (copy attack) or false negative (denoising and remodulation attack). Our basic design methodology is to exploit prior knowledge available at the detector side and then use it to design a "nonblind" embedder. We prove that the proposed scheme can resist two famous watermark estimation-based attacks, which have successfully cracked many existing watermarking schemes. False negative and false positive analyses are conducted to verify the performance of our scheme. The experimental results show that the new method is indeed powerful.

Sialoside analogue arrays for rapid identification of high affinity siglec ligands

The siglec family of sialic acid binding proteins participates in diverse cell surface biology that includes regulation of immune cell signaling and the interaction of neuronal cells with glial cells. The weak intrinsic affinity of the natural sialoside ligands has hampered the development of synthetic ligand based probes needed to elucidate their roles in siglec function. In this report, we describe a glycan microarray comprising a library of 9-acyl-substituted sialic acids incorporated into sialosides containing the Neu5Acalpha2-3Gal and Neu5Acalpha-6Gal linkages commonly recognized by the siglecs. The array is demonstrated to exhibit utility for detecting 9-acyl substituents that increase the affinity of siglecs for their ligands. Substituents that increase affinity are anticipated to be useful for the design of high affinity ligand based probes of siglec function.     

On-virus construction of polyvalent glycan ligands for cell-surface receptors

Glycans arrayed on the exterior of virus particles were used as substrates for glycosyltransferase reactions to build di- and trisaccharides from the virus surface. The resulting particles exhibited tight and specific associations with cognate receptors on beads and cells, in one example defeating in cis cell-surface interactions in a manner characteristic of polyvalent binding. Combined with the ability of viruses to provide structurally well-defined attachment points, the methodology provides a convenient and powerful way to prepare complex carbohydrate ligands for clustered receptors.
