Fractional wavelet transform

1997

The wavelet transform, which has had a growing importance in signal and image processing, has been generalized by association with both the wavelet transform and the fractional Fourier transform. Possible implementations of the new transformation are in image compression, image transmission, transient signal processing, etc. Computer simulations demonstrate the abilities of the novel transform. Optical implementation of this transform is briefly discussed.

Two-dimensional wavelet transform by wavelength multiplexing

1996

The wavelet transform is a useful tool for data compression, analysis of short transient pulses, optical correlators, etc. This transform was obtained optically by the use of the spatial or temporal multiplexing approaches. A two-dimensional wavelet transform is obtained with only one spatial channel. The information of the different scalings is carried in different wavelengths and summed incoherently at the output plane. Laboratory experimental results are demonstrated.

Effect of parametric variation of center frequency and bandwidth of morlet wavelet transform on time-frequency analysis of event-related potentials

2017

Time-frequency (TF) analysis of event-related potentials (ERPs) using Complex Morlet Wavelet Transform has been widely applied in cognitive neuroscience research. It has been widely suggested that the center frequency (fc) and bandwidth (σ) should be considered in defining the mother wavelet. However, the issue how parametric variation of fc and σ of Morlet wavelet transform exerts influence on ERPs time-frequency results has not been extensively discussed in previous research. The current study, through adopting the method of Complex Morlet Continuous Wavelet Transform (CMCWT), aims to investigate whether time-frequency results vary with different parametric settings of fc and σ. Besides, …

Rupture Force of Single Small Drug Molecule Binding a Split Aptamer

2012

Aptamers are specific oligonucleotides (DNA or RNA) which bind small inorganic or organic molecules, large proteins or cells. In particular, the high affinity of aptamers is expected to lead to a new class of therapeutic reagents. Thus the detection and characterization of binding strength of small molecules is important for drug and medical research. Atomic force spectroscopy (AFS) with a force resolution in the piconewton range is a valuable tool for studying interactions on a single molecular level. The detection of very small target molecules less than 500 Dalton is characterized by only a few hydrogen interactions between the aptamer and the target molecules. Thus tiny rupture forces w…

Thermometric study of the dissociation equilibria of the maleinimidodioxime

1982

The values of the dissociation constants of the maleinimidodioxime are potentiometrically determined at various ionic strengths, and extrapolated to zero ionic strength (pK1T=10.41;pk2T=11.60). From these values and from the thermometric titration curves the enthalpies of neutralization (ΔHN1=−21.76,ΔHN2=−23.77 kJ/mol) and the thermodynamic parameters of dissociation of this substance at 25.0 °C are determined (ΔG1θ=59.41,ΔG2θ=66.23,ΔH1θ=34.06,ΔH2θ=32.05 kJ/mol;ΔS1θ=−85.06,ΔS2θ=−114.64 J/(K mol)).

Leitfahigkeitsmessungen an Polystyrylnatrium in Dimethoxiäthan (DME) und Tetrahydrofuran (THF)

1971

An Polystyrylnatrium werden in zwei polaren organischen Losungsmitteln Leitfahigkeitsmessungen uber einen groseren Temperaturbereich ausgefuhrt. Aus der Temperaturabhangigkeit der Dissoziationskonstante ergibt sich, das die undissoziierte Verbindung in zwei Formen, dem Kontaktionenpaar (I) und dem solvatgetrennten Ionenpaar (II), vorkommt. Enthalpie- und Entropiedifferenz beim ubergang von I nach II, sowie die entsprechenden thermodynamischen Parameter der Dissoziation von II werden ermittelt. Der effektive Ladungsabstand im solvatgetrennten Ionenpaar betragt etwa 7 A. Conductivity measurements were carried out with polystyryl sodium in two polar solvents within a large temperature range. T…

The Dissociation Constant of Pyruvic Acid: Determination by Spectrophotometric Measurements

1991

Aqueous solutions of sodium pyruvate/hydrochloric acid mixtures were studied with regard to changes in the intensity of optical absorption at 317 nm wavelength, caused by varying pH and temperature. The data were evaluated to determine the pyruvic acid apparent dissociation constant at infinite dilution. Its temperature dependence followed the relation ln Kod = −(0.55 ± 0.47) − (1538 ± 135)/T or, if previous results of Pedersen at two temperatures are included, In Kod = −(0.97 ± 0.35) − (1418 ± 102)T. The effective absorption coefficient for pyruvic acid and its anion differ because the former species is largely hydrated, whereas the latter is not. The known hydration constant and its tempe…

Zur kinetik der anionischen polymerisation von methyl-methyacrylat in tetrahydrofuran bei −75°C

1973

Die anionische Polymerisation von Methylmethacrylat (MMA) in Tetrahydrofuran (THF) verlauft bei −75°C mit Cumylcasium bzw. oligomerem α-Methylstyrylcasium als Initiatoren ohne erkennbare Nebenreaktionen analog der anionischen Polymerisation von unpolaren Monomeren in atherischen Losungsmitteln. Als Beweis wird hauptsachlich die enge Molekulargewichtsverteilung der unter diesen Bedingungen hergestellten Polymethylmethacrylate angefuhrt. Bei −75°C betragen die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten fur die Monomeranlagerung an das Ionenpaar kw(±) = 80 dm3 mol−1 s−1 und an das freie Anion etwa kw(−) ≈ 6 · 104 dm3 mol−1 s−1. Leitfahigkeitsmessungen ergeben, das die Dissoziationskonstante des Polymethylmeth…

Up and Down States During Slow Oscillations in Slow-Wave Sleep and Different Levels of Anesthesia

2021

Slow oscillations are a pattern of synchronized network activity generated by the cerebral cortex. They consist of Up and Down states, which are periods of activity interspersed with periods of silence, respectively. However, even when this is a unique dynamic regime of transitions between Up and Down states, this pattern is not constant: there is a range of oscillatory frequencies (0.1–4 Hz), and the duration of Up vs. Down states during the cycles is variable. This opens many questions. Is there a constant relationship between the duration of Up and Down states? How much do they vary across conditions and oscillatory frequencies? Are there different sub regimes within the slow oscillation…
