We study the dynamics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection under HIV antiviral drug therapy. In sense of control theory, the drug efficiency is treated as an controller. In this paper, we reduce the nonlinear terms and reconstruct problem as mathematical model in control system. The sliding mode control (SMC) is applied to control contact rate between CD4+ T lymphocyte (CD4+ T-cell)...
Random matrix theory (RMT), which was formulated 50 years ago, has a wide application in modeling and understanding the diverse areas of research including nuclear physics, disordered systems, information theory, string theory, statistical physics, biological sciences, finance, social systems. In the current work, we use the tools from the random matrix theory to understand the structural and...
In a colony, ants demonstrate their intelligence through complex patterns and collective behaviors which are attributed from a self-organization of individual ant. Ants expressed a wide variety of adaptive intelligences such as creating the route or bridge for foraging, managing a group behavior to escape from dangerous situations without jamming, etc. Here, we develop an experimental platform...
Electrical cell lysis is one of the most efficient techniques in cell analysis in extracting intracellular components for further use or examination. Cells are exposed to high electric field strength that can rupture cell membrane due to nano-size pores creation. Thanks to microfabrication technology, electrodes can be materialized in close proximity to each other leading to high electric...
Oxygenic photosynthesis can easily be measured using O$_2$ or CO$_2$ gas exchange, oxygen electrodes, Winkler titration and $^1$$^4$CO$_2$-fixation and by PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) fluorometry. PAM estimates the photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR) by measuring fluorescence of chlorophyll (Chl) a (> 700 nm) induced by blue (Soret, Q$_X$) band or red light (Q$_Y$) band. ...
