There is a growing awareness toward a slow shifting in the foundation of the thermodynamic laws, from several macroscopic, empirical postulates concerning heat as a form of random motions, to derivable mathematical theorems based on stochastic dynamics of mesoscopic systems. It becomes increasingly clear that a stochastic dynamic description of ...

The basic medical science research and clinical diagnosis and treatmenthave strongly benefited from the development of various noninvasivebiomedical imaging techniques, e.g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) andcomputed tomography (CT). The mathematical tools provide many differentways to analyze these valuable images. In this talk, we will give ...

Since the discovery of the extraordinary optical transmission through nanohole arrays in metallic films by Ebbesen, a wealth of research has been sparked in the experimental and theoretical investigation of localized electromagnetic field enhancement in subwavelength nanostructures. This remarkable phenomenon can lead to potentially significant ...

An important emerging scientific issue in many practical problems ranging from climate and weather prediction to biological science involves the real time filtering and prediction through partial observations of noisy turbulent signals for complex dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom as well as the statistical accuracy of various strat...

In Analog-to-Digital conversion, continuously varying functions (e.g.the output of a microphone) are transformed into digital sequences fromwhich one then hopes to be able to reconstruct a close approximation tothe original function. The functions under consideration are typicallyband-limited (i.e. their Fourier transform is zero for frequencies...

This talk (and a related poster) describes Lie-group-theoretic techniques that can be applied in the analysis and modeling of protein conformations. Three topics are covered: (1) Conformational transitions between two known end states; (2) proper normalization of helix-helix crossing angle data in the PDB; (3) models of the conformational entrop...
