In this paper fuzzy bi-directional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with constant delays are considered. Some sufficient conditions for existence and global exponential stability of unique equilibrium point are established by using fixed point theorem and differential inequality techniques. The results obtained are easily checked to guarantee existence, uniqueness and global exponential...

This is a study of paradigmatic relations and of their significance for the link between phonology and phonetics *. A paradigm is a set of words sharing a morpheme of phrases sharing a word (e.g.{bomb, the bomb, ...}). The main component of the analyses presented here is the preference for uniform paradigms, that is paradigms sharing contextually invariant morphemes. A Paradigm Uniformity (PU) ...

In contrast to conventional feedback bidirectional associative Memory (BAM) network models, a feedforward BAM network is developed based on a one-shot design algorithm of O(p(2)(n+m)) computational complexity, where p is the number of prototype pairs and n, m are the dimensions of the input/output bipolar vectors. The feedforward BAM is an n-p-m three-layer network of McCulloch-Pitts neurons wi...

Autotransporters are a superfamily of bacterial virulence factors consisting of an N-terminal extracellular ('passenger') domain and a C-terminal β barrel ('β') domain that resides in the outer membrane (OM). The mechanism by which the passenger domain is secreted is poorly understood. Here we show that a conserved OM protein insertase (the Bam complex) and a molecular chaperone (SurA) are both...

This paper gives a brief explanation of the earthquake in Bam. It also reports on the rescue and relief operations, including the construction of emergency shelters and temporary housing, and on the country’s plan for the reconstruction of the city, which includes debris removal, the rebuilding of rural and urban residential and commercial units, the reconstruction of state and public buildings...

Bidirectional Associative Memories (BAMs) are artificial neural networks that can learn and recall various types of associations. Although BAMs have shown great promise at modeling human cognitive processes, these models have often been investigated under optimal conditions in which the network is fully connected. Whereas some BAM models have shown to be robust to connection sparseness, those p...

In this article, issues of both stability and dissipativity for a type bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural systems with time delays are investigated. By using generalized Halanay inequalities constructing appropriate Lyapunov functionals, some novelty criteria obtained the asymptotic BAM delays. Also, without assuming boundedness differentiability activation functions, new sufficient ...

Bam-readcount is a utility for generating low-level information about sequencing data at specific nucleotide positions. Originally designed to help filter genomic mutation calls, the metrics it outputs are useful as input variant detection tools and resolving ambiguity between callers . In addition, has found broad applicability in diverse fields including tumor evolution, single-cell genomics,...

Cyclins regulate progression through the cell cycle. Control of cyclin levels is essential in Drosophila oogenesis for the four synchronous divisions that generate the 16 cell germ line cyst and for ensuring that one cell in each cyst, the oocyte, is arrested in meiosis, while the remaining fifteen cells become polyploid nurse cells. Changes in cyclin levels could be achieved by regulating tran...

UNLABELLED Many if not most proteins function in oligomeric assemblies of one or more protein sequences. The Protein Data Bank provides coordinates for biological assemblies for each entry, at least 60% of which are dimers or larger assemblies. BioAssemblyModeler (BAM) is a graphical user interface to the basic steps in homology modeling of protein homooligomers and heterooligomers from the bio...
