Functional Point Analysis

This study presents a novel application of mesh-free method using the smoothed-radial basis functions for the computational homogenization analysis of materials. The displacement field corresponding to the scattered nodes within the representative volume element (RVE) is split into two parts including mean term and fluctuation term, and then the fluctuation one is approximated using the integrated radial basis function (iRBF) method.

In the first part of this paper, the Kriging metamodeling technique will be briefly reviewed. Then, we present a new learning function by accounting for the distance constraint in the selection process of the new training points (TPs) to enrich the Design of Experiment (DoE) of the built surrogate.

Previous data showing an increase of receptor binding activity of [R16]VIP, a vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) structural analogue containing arginine at the position 16 of its amino acid sequence, have pointed out the importance of a positive charge at this site. Here, the functional characterization of three VIP polyaminated adducts (VIPDap, VIPSpd, and VIPSpm), obtained by a transglutaminasecatalysed reaction between the VIP Gln16 residue and 1,3-diaminopropane (Dap), spermidine (Spd), or spermine (Spm), is reported. ...

UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (GALE, EC 5.1.3.2) catalyses the interconver-sion of UDP-glucose and UDP-galactose. Point mutations in this enzyme are associated with the genetic disease, type III galactosemia, which exists in two forms – a milder, or peripheral, form and a more severe, or general-ized, form.

Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) is a potential target for structure-based inhibitor design for the treatment of parasitic dis-eases. We created point mutants of Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis HGPRT and tested their activities to identify side chains that were impor-tant for function.

The bradykinin B2 receptor is coupled to G protein Gq⁄ 11 and becomes sequestered into intracellular compartments after activation. To more clo-sely define the receptor sequences involved in these processes and their functions, we systematically mutated all three intracellular loops (ICLs), either as point mutations or in groups of three to five amino acids to Ala, obtaining a total of 14 mutants.

CONTINUOUS IMAGE MATHEMATICAL CHARACTERIZATION In the design and analysis of image processing systems, it is convenient and often necessary mathematically to characterize the image to be processed. There are two basic mathematical characterizations of interest: deterministic and statistical. In deterministic image representation, a mathematical image function is defined and point properties of the image are considered. For a statistical image representation, the image is specified by average properties.

Stability Issues in RNN Architectures Perspective The focus of this chapter is on stability and convergence of relaxation realised through NARMA recurrent neural networks. Unlike other commonly used approaches, which mostly exploit Lyapunov stability theory, the main mathematical tool employed in this analysis is the contraction mapping theorem (CMT), together with the fixed point iteration (FPI) technique. This enables derivation of the asymptotic stability (AS) and global asymptotic stability (GAS) criteria for neural relaxive systems.

The purpose of this section is to get a geometric understanding of linear estimation . First. we outline how projections are computed in linear algebra for finite dimensional vectors . Functional analysis generalizes this procedure to some infinite-dimensional spaces (so-called Hilbert spaces). and finally. we point out that linear estimation is a special case of an infinite-dimensional space
