Encoding strategy for maximum noise tolerance bidirectional associative memory.

Abstract

In this paper, the basic bidirectional associative memory (BAM) is extended by choosing weights in the correlation matrix, for a given set of training pairs, which result in a maximum noise tolerance set for BAM. We prove that for a given set of training pairs, the maximum noise tolerance set is the largest, in the sense that this optimized BAM will recall the correct training pair if any input pattern is within the maximum noise tolerance set and at least one pattern outside the maximum noise tolerance set by one Hamming distance will not converge to the correct training pair. This maximum tolerance set is the union of the maximum basins of attraction. A standard genetic algorithm (GA) is used to calculate the weights to maximize the objective function which generates a maximum tolerance set for BAM. Computer simulations are presented to illustrate the error correction and fault tolerance properties of the optimized BAM.

Reduction of COD in wastewater from an organized tannery industrial region by Electro-Fenton process.

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have led the way in the treatment of aqueous waste and are rapidly becoming the chosen technology for many applications. In this paper, COD reduction potential of leather tanning industry wastewaters by Electro-Fenton (EF) oxidation, as one of the AOPs, was experimentally evaluated. The wastewater sample was taken from an outlet of an equalization basin in a common treatment plant of an organized tannery industrial region in Istanbul, Turkey. Treatment of the wastewater was carried out by an electrochemical batch reactor equipped with two iron electrodes, which were connected parallel to each other. The oxidation process was studied for optimization of H(2)O(2) and the electricity consumptions were observed at different contact times under different pH conditions (3.0, 5.0 and 7.2). In each case, electricity consumption for decreased COD mass was estimated. In this process, COD was reduced by 60-70% within 10 min. By taking into consideration the local sewerage discharge limit, applicability of EF process for the tannery wastewaters was evaluated.

Fabrication of conductive membrane in a polymeric electric field gradient focusing microdevice.

A novel approach to integrating a buffer ion-permeable membrane in a poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) micro electric field gradient focusing (muEFGF) device is described. A weir structure on which the membrane was positioned was fabricated between the separation channel and field gradient-generating channel. Before formation of the membrane, the surface of the polymeric microdevice was treated for covalent bonding of the membrane. Following surface modification, a prepolymer solution containing poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate/methacrylate and Tris-HCl buffer was loaded into the microdevice. Low-pressure nitrogen gas was then purged through the separation and field gradient-generating channels to remove the prepolymer solution from these channels. Residual prepolymer solution was retained on the weir structure due to surface tension. Finally, the premembrane was cured in place on the weir using UV radiation. Using a muEFGF device, green fluorescent protein (GFP) was concentrated 4000-fold. Separation of GFP and R-phycoerythrin, and selective elution of GFP from a protein mixture containing GFP, FITC-labeled casein, and FITC-labeled hemoglobin were also demonstrated. It was found that the membrane conductivity and presence of carboxylic acid impurities in the membrane strongly affected the behavior of the muEFGF device.

Rapid hydropassive opening and subsequent active stomatal closure follow heat-induced electrical signals in Mimosa pudica.

In Mimosa pudica L., heat stimulation triggers leaflet folding in local, neighbouring and distant leaves. Stomatal movements were observed microscopically during this folding reaction and electrical potentials, chlorophyll fluorescence, and leaf CO(2)/H(2)O-gas exchange were measured simultaneously. Upon heat stimulation of a neighbouring pinna, epidermal cells depolarized and the stomata began a rapid and pronounced transient opening response, leading to an approximately 2-fold increase of stomatal aperture within 60 s. At the same time, net CO(2) exchange showed a pronounced transient decrease, which was followed by a similar drop in photochemical quantum yield at photosystem (PS) II. Subsequently, CO(2)-gas exchange and photochemical quantum yield recovered and stomata closed partly or completely. The transient and fast stomatal opening response is interpreted as a hydropassive stomatal movement caused by a sudden loss of epidermal turgor. Thus, epidermal cells appear to respond in a similar manner to heat-induced signals as the pulvinar extensor cells. The subsequent closing of the stomata confirms earlier reports that stomatal movements can be induced by electrical signals. The substantial delay (several minutes) of guard cell turgor loss compared with the immediate response of the extensor and epidermal cells suggests a different, less direct mechanism for transmission of the propagating signal to the guard cells.
