Stability analysis of discrete-time BAM neural networks based on standard neural network models

To facilitate stability analysis of discrete-time bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks, they were converted into novel neural network models, termed standard neural network models (SNNMs), which interconnect linear dynamic systems and bounded static nonlinear operators. By combining a number of different Lyapunov functionals with S-procedure, some useful criteria of global asymptotic stability and global exponential stability of the equilibrium points of SNNMs were derived. These stability conditions were formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). So global stability of the discrete-time BAM neural networks could be analyzed by using the stability results of the SNNMs. Compared to the existing stability analysis methods, the proposed approach is easy to implement, less conservative, and is applicable to other recurrent neural networks.

Cage and ladder structures of silsesquioxanes characterized by UV-MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry

The molar mass distribution of SSO in the first generation derived from the hydrolytic condensation oftwo trialkoxysilanes, [ 3- ( Methacryloxy ) propyl ] trimethoxysilane ( MPMS ) and vinyltrimethoxysilane ( VMS ) ,are determined by UV-MALDI-TOF MS. The comparisons of theoretical masses with experimental masses arecalculated using the proposed compounds, which are assigned to formulas Tn (OH)m, Tn (OMe)y orTn(OH)x(OMe)y[T=RSiO1.5 (x+y)/2n, R=--(CH2)3OOCCH(CH3)CH2 and--CHCH2]. Both theproposed cage and ladder structures of SSO derived from similar sol-gel process of monomers are illustrated. Thecauses for the difference in structures between SSO M and SSO V is discussed as well.

Peptidomic analysis of Chinese shrimp(Fenneropenaeus chinensis) hemolymph by magnetic bead-based MALDITOF MS

Peptides in shrimp hemolymph play an important role in the innate immune response.Analysis of hemolymph will help to detect and identify potential novel biomarkers of microbial infection.We used magnetic bead-based purification(ClinProt system) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS) to characterize shrimp hemolymph peptides.Shrimp serum and plasma were used as the source of samples for comparative analysis,and it was found that serum was more suitable for shrimp hemolymph peptidomic analysis.To screen potential specific biomarkers in serum of immune-challenged shrimps,we applied magnetic bead-based MALDI-TOF MS to serum samples from 10 immune-challenged and 10 healthy shrimps.The spectra were analyzed using FlexAnalysis 3.0 and ClinProTools 2.1 software.Thirteen peptide peaks significantly different between the two groups were selected as candidate biomarkers of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-infection.The diagnostic model established by genetic algorithm using five of these peaks was able to discriminate LPS-challenged shrimps from healthy control shrimps with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100%.Our approach in MALDITOF MS-based peptidomics is a powerful tool for screening bioactive peptides or biomarkers derived from hemolymph,and will help to enable a better understanding of the innate immune response of shrimps.

Analysis of the local discontinuous Galerkin method for the drift-diffusion model of semiconductor devices

We consider the drift-diffusion （DD） model of one dimensional semiconductor devices, which is a system involving not only first derivative convection terms but also second derivative diffusion terms and a coupled Poisson potential equation. Optimal error estimates are obtained for both the semi-discrete and fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin （LDG） schemes with smooth solutions. In the fully discrete scheme, we couple the implicit-explicit （IMEX） time discretization with the LDG spatial diseretization, in order to allow larger time steps and to save computational cost. The main technical difficulty in the analysis is to treat the inter-element jump terms which arise from the discontinuous nature of the numerical method and the nonlinearity and coupling of the models. A simulation is also performed to validate the analysis.

Exponential H_∞ filtering analysis for discrete-time switched neural networks with random delays using sojourn probabilities

This paper is concerned with the exponential H_∞ filtering problem for a class of discrete-time switched neural networks with random time-varying delays based on the sojourn-probability-dependent method. Using the average dwell time approach together with the piecewise Lyapunov function technique, sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee the exponential stability for the switched neural networks with random time-varying delays which are characterized by introducing a Bernoulli stochastic variable.Based on the derived H_∞ performance analysis results, the H_∞ filter design is formulated in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities(LMIs). Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedure.

Threshold analysis for epidemic models with high-risk immunization on networks

In this paper, an SIRS epidemic model with high-risk immunization was investigated, where a susceptible neighbor of an infected node is immunized with rate h. Through analyzing the discrete-time model, we found that the epidemic threshold above which an epidemic can prevail and persist in a population is inversely proportional to 1 - h value. We also studied the continuous-time epidemic model and obtained a different result： the epidemic threshold does not depend on the immunization parameter h. Our results suggest that the difference between the discrete-time epidemic model and the continuous-time epidemic model exists in the high-risk immunization.

ANALYSIS OF DISCRETE-TIME QUEUES WITH BATCH RENEWAL INPUT AND MULTIPLE VACATIONS

This paper analyzes a discrete-time multiple vacations finite-buffer queueing system with batch renewal input in which inter-arrival time of batches are arbitrarily distributed. Service and vacation times are mutually independent and geometrically distributed. The server takes vacations when the system does not have any waiting jobs at a service completion epoch or a vacation completion epoch. The system is analyzed under the assumptions of late arrival system with delayed access and early arrival system. Using the supplementary variable and the imbedded Markov chain techniques, the authors obtain the queue-length distributions at pre-arrival, arbitrary and outside observer＇s ob- servation epochs for partial-batch rejection policy. The blocking probability of the first, an arbitrary- and the last-job in a batch have been discussed. The analysis of actual waiting-time distributions measured in slots of the first, an arbitrary- and the last-job in an accepted batch, and other performance measures along with some numerical results have also been investigated.

Discrete time transfer matrix method for dynamics analysis of complex weapon systems

Efficient, precise dynamic modeling and analysis for complex weapon systems have become more and more important in their dynamic design and performance optimizing. As a new method developed in recent years, the discrete time transfer matrix method of multibody system is highly efficient for multibody system dynamics. In this paper, taking a shipboard gun system as an example, by deducing some new transfer equations of elements, the discrete time transfer matrix method of multibody sys- tem is used to solve the dynamics problems of complex rigid-flexible coupling weapon systems successfully. This method does not need the global dynamic equations of system and has the low order of system matrix, high computational efficiency. The proposed method has advantages for dynamic design of complex weapon systems, and can be carried over straightforwardly to other complex mechanical systems.
