Synchronized pseudorandom systems and their application to speech communication.

Abstract

An approach to the synchronization of pseudorandom systems is proposed and applied to secure speech communication. The encoding signal produced by the pseudorandom synchronization scheme passes the random test, and shows much more complex dynamics, better random properties, and greater sensitivity to parameter mismatches than that produced by the active-passive decomposition scheme. Also, two coupled pseudorandom systems can be exactly synchronized despite their different initial states or seeds. Pseudorandom encoding and synchronization may yield great security in communication.

Folding with downhill behavior and low cooperativity of proteins.

The downhill folding observed experimentally for a small protein BBL is studied using off-lattice Gō-like model. Our simulations show that the downhill folding has low cooperativity and is barrierless, which is consistent with the experimental findings. As an example of comparison in detail, the two-state folding behavior of proteins, for example, protein CI2, is also simulated. By observing the formation of contacts between the residues for these two proteins, it is found that the physical origin of the downhill folding is due to the deficiency of nonlocal contacts which determine the folding cooperatively. From a statistics on contacts of the native structures of 17 well-studied proteins and the calculation of their cooperativity factors kappa2 based on folding simulations, a strong correlation between the number of nonlocal contacts per residue NN and the factors kappa2 is obtained. Protein BBL with a value of NN = 0.73 has the lowest cooperativity factor kappa2 = 0.34 among all 17 proteins. A crossover around NNc approximately 0.9 could be defined to separate the two-state folders and the downhill folder roughly. A protein would behave downhill folding when its NN = NNc. For proteins with their NN values are about (or slightly larger than) NNc, the folding behaves with low cooperativity and the barriers are small, showing a weak two-state behavior or a downhill-like behavior. Furthermore, simulations on mutants of a two-state folder show that a mutant becomes a downhill folder when its NN is reduced to a value smaller than NNc. These could enable us to identify the downhill folding or the cooperative two-state folding behavior solely from the native structures of proteins.

Destabilization and stabilization of proteins.

In Part I the history of progress in the stabilization and destabilization of protein conformations by means of cosolvents is outlined in terms of distinct conceptual steps. In Part II it is shown that a straightforward application of the Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions leads to formulas for the preferential interaction and the free energy of unfolding, which confirm and generalize the results of Part I.

Photocount distribution of photons emitted from three sites of a human body.

Spontaneous photon emission from 30 sites on the skin of a live human subject is measured at different times and on different days. Signals from three representative sites of low, intermediate and high intensities are selected for further analysis. Fluctuations in these signals are measured by the probabilities of detecting different numbers of photons in a bin. The probabilities have non-classical features and are well described by the signal in a quantum squeezed state of photons. Measurements with bins of three sizes yield same values of three parameters of the squeezed state. A procedure for making correction due to background noise is developed. The correction changes the parameters of the quantum state. The new state appears more like a coherent state of photons.
