Photoactivatable heterobifunctional crosslinking agents have been used to prepare glycolipid affinity matrices by nitrene insertion into adsorbed ligand. High degrees of covalent coupling have been obtained and the method has been used to purify antisulfoglycolipid antibodies from immune serum.

We consider aggregative games with affine coupling constraints, where agents have partial information on the aggregate value and can only communicate neighbouring agents. propose a single-layer distributed algorithm that reaches variational generalized Nash equilibrium, under constant step sizes. The works single timescale, i.e., does not require multiple communication rounds between before upd...

finite and boundary element methods have been used by many authors to solve mathematicalphysics problems. however, the coupling of these two methods happens to be more efficient as it combinestheir merits. in this paper, the mathematical analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary element methodsfor the helmholtz equation is presented.

Intelligent agents must select and apply rules to accomplish their goals. In this issue of Neuron, Buschman et al. (2012) demonstrate that oscillatory neuronal coupling is key to rule processing in monkey prefrontal cortex, notably when rules change during tasks.

A wide range of multi-agent coordination problems including reference tracking and disturbance rejection requirements can be formulated as a cooperative output regulation problem. The general framework captures typical problems such as output synchronization, leader-follower synchronization, and many more. In the present paper, we propose a novel distributed regulator for groups of identical an...

The present work reports an effect of surfacemodification of indium tin oxide (ITO) particles with chemicals on their electronic conductivity properties. Examined chemicals were polyvinyl alcohol (nonionic polymer), poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (cationic polymer), poly(sodium 4-styrene-sulfonate) (anionic polymer), (2-aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane (APMS) (silane coupling agent with...

Abstract We study the interaction of agents, where each one consists an associative memory neural network trained with same patterns and possibly different reinforcement-unlearning dreaming periods. Using replica methods, we obtain rich equilibrium phase diagram coupled agents. It shows phases such as student–professor phase, only benefits from while other is unaffected; a mutualism both benefi...

In this article, we explore the possibility of using animated characters as personal social companions for supporting interventions for promoting health behaviors. We explore how supportive feedback could be provided to users of such artificial companion systems, by coupling both personalized intervention content from a mental health perspective with personalized affective social agents such as...

The ABCD matrix method is used to simplifying the theoretical coupling efficiency calculation of Elegant Hermite-Cosh-Gaussian (EHChG) laser beams to a Single Mode Fiber (SMF) with a quadric lens formed on the tip. The integrals of coupling efficiency relation are calculated numerically by Boole method. Meanwhile, the structure parameters of surface-lensed fiber are optimized in numerical simul...
