Exponentially Long Orbits in Hopfield Neural Networks.

Neural computation
We show that Hopfield neural networks with synchronous dynamics and asymmetric weights admit stable orbits that form sequences of maximal length. For [Formula: see text] units, these sequences have length [Formula: see text]; that is, they cover the ...

Apoptosis of rat hepatic stellate cells induced by diallyl trisulfide and proteomics profiling in vitro.

Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology
Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a major garlic derivative, inhibits cell proliferation and triggers apoptosis in a variety of cancer cell lines. However, the effects of DATS on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) remain unknown. The aim of this study was to ana...

A cable-driven soft robot surgical system for cardiothoracic endoscopic surgery: preclinical tests in animals.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery attracts more and more attention because of the advantages of minimal trauma, less bleeding and pain and low complication rate. However, minimally invasive surgery for beating hearts is still a challenge. Our go...

Assessing the quality of sardine based on biogenic amines using a fuzzy logic model.

Food chemistry
There is an increasing concern about the quality and quality assessment procedures of seafood. In the present study, a model to assess fish quality based on biogenic amine contents using fuzzy logic model (FLM) is proposed. The fish used was sardine ...

Classification of Porcine Cranial Fracture Patterns Using a Fracture Printing Interface.

Journal of forensic sciences
Distinguishing between accidental and abusive head trauma in children can be difficult, as there is a lack of baseline data for pediatric cranial fracture patterns. A porcine head model has recently been developed and utilized in a series of studies ...

Robotic vertical jumping agility via series-elastic power modulation.

Science robotics
Several arboreal mammals have the ability to rapidly and repeatedly jump vertical distances of 2 m, starting from rest. We characterize this performance by a metric we call vertical jumping agility. Through basic kinetic relations, we show that this ...

Predicting the physiological response of Tivela stultorum hearts with digoxin from cardiac parameters using artificial neural networks.

Bio Systems
Multi-layer perceptron artificial neural networks (MLP-ANNs) were used to predict the concentration of digoxin needed to obtain a cardio-activity of specific biophysical parameters in Tivela stultorum hearts. The inputs of the neural networks were th...

State Estimation for Delayed Genetic Regulatory Networks With Reaction-Diffusion Terms.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
This paper addresses the problem of state estimation for delayed genetic regulatory networks (DGRNs) with reaction-diffusion terms using Dirichlet boundary conditions. The nonlinear regulation function of DGRNs is assumed to exhibit the Hill form. Th...

Progesterone supplementation in the early luteal phase after artificial insemination improves conception rates in high-producing dairy cows.

Theriogenology
This study examines the possible effects on the reproductive performance of high-producing dairy cows of progesterone (P4) given in the early luteal phase (1.55 g of P4), from Days 3 to 5 post-artificial insemination (AI) as compared with the time of...

Fatty acid composition and mechanisms of the protective effects of myrtle berry seed aqueous extract in alcohol-induced peptic ulcer in rat.

Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology
This study aimed to investigate the antiulcer and antioxidant activities of myrtle berry seed aqueous extract (MBSAE) in a peptic ulcer model induced by ethanol in male Wistar rats. MBSAE is rich in total polyphenols, total flavonoids, and unsaturate...
