In this paper,the exponential passivity criteria for BAM neural networks with time-varying delays is studied.By constructing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and dividing the delay interval into multiple segments,a novel sufficient condition is established to guarantee the exponential stability of the considered system.Finally,a numerical example is provided to illustrate the usefulness of th...

⎯By employing the Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, delaydependent stability criterion is derived to ensure the exponential stability of bi-directional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying delays. The proposed condition can be checked easily by LMI control toolbox in Matlab. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness...

Rats given high doses of colchicine (300-400 ug, i.c.v.) were used to investigate the comparative distribution of Leu-enkephalin and bovine adrenal medullary enkephalinprecursor fragment (BAM-22P) in the brain. Leu-enkephalin immunoreactive neurons have a widespread distribution throughout the neuraxis. In most areas adjacent section analysis showed BAM-22P and Leu-enkephalin immunoreactive per...

MOTIVATION The reference CRAM file format implementation is in Java. We present 'Scramble': a new C implementation of SAM, BAM and CRAM file I/O. RESULTS The C implementation of for CRAM is 1.5-1.7× slower than BAM at decoding but 1.8-2.6× faster at encoding. We see file size savings of 34-55%. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Source code is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/stade...

Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) play a central role in the integrity of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Unfolded OMPs (uOMPs) transit across the periplasm, and subsequent folding and assembly are crucial for biogenesis. Chaperones and the essential β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex facilitate these processes. In vitro studies suggest that some chaperones sequester uOMPs in ...

In the Drosophila ovary, germline stem cells (GSCs) are maintained primarily by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) ligands produced by the stromal cells of the niche. This signaling represses GSC differentiation by blocking the transcription of the differentiation factor Bam. Remarkably, bam transcription begins only one cell diameter away from the GSC in the daughter cystoblasts (CBs). How this ...

Introduction: Tooth extraction can result in loss of alveolar bone. The application biomaterials Bovine Amniotic Membrane (BAM) that containing growth factors and collagen is expected to play a role socket preservation. This study aimed observe the effect BAM on osteoblasts, osteocytes, histological preparate bone Sprague Dawley rats (SD). Methods: 16 male SD were used this group. extracted man...

We study the dynamics of a generalized minority game (GMG) and of the bar attendance model (BAM) in which a number of agents self-organize to match an attendance that is fixed externally as a control parameter. We compare the usual dynamics used for the minority game with one for the BAM that makes a better use of the available information. We study the asymptotic states reached in both framewo...

This paper addresses the problem of passivity analysis issue for a class of fuzzy bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters and time varying delays. A set of sufficient conditions for the passiveness of the considered fuzzy BAM neural network model is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities by using the delay fractioning technique together w...

The notion of best approximation mapping (BAM) with respect to a closed affine subspace in finite-dimensional spaces was introduced by Behling, Bello Cruz and Santos show the linear convergence block-wise circumcentered-reflection method. possesses two critical properties circumcenter for convergence. Because iteration sequence BAM linearly converges, is interesting its own right. In this paper...
