Background. Fluorescent proteins such as GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) and DsRED (Discosoma *** Fluorescent Protein) are often used as reporter molecules for transgene expression in Drosophila and other species. We have recently reported methods that allow simultaneous tracking of animal movement and GFP expression in real time, however the assay was limited to single animals and a single transgene. Numerous studies would be facilitated by methods that allow for assay of multiple animals and multiple transgenes. Findings. Here we report an improved fly video tracking system that allows multiple transgenic flies to be tracked simultaneously using visible light, GFP fluorescence and DsRED fluorescence. The movement of multiple flies could be accurately tracked at real time rates, while simultaneously assaying the expression level of two different transgenes marked with GFP and DsRED. The individual flies could be accurately tracked and distinguished even during periods when transgene fluorescence was undetected. For example, characteristic patterns of hsp70 and hsp22 transgene induction could be simultaneously quantified and correlated with animal movement in aging flies, and as groups of flies died due to dessication/starvation. Conclusion. The improved methods allow for more efficient assay of the correlation between gene expression, behavior, aging and mortality: multiple animals can be assayed with simultaneous quantification of multiple transgenes using GFP and DsRED fluorescence. These methods should allow for increased flexibility in experimental designs. For example, in the future it should be possible to use gene expression levels to predict remaining life span more accurately, and to quantify gene expression changes caused by interactions between animals in real time. © 2009 Tower et al.

Fusion frames are an emerging topic of frame theory, with applications to communications and distributed processing. However, until recently, little was known about the existence of tight fusion frames, much less how to construct them. We discuss a new method for constructing tight fusion frames which is akin to playing Tetris with the spectrum of the frame operator. When combined with some easily obtained necessary conditions, these Spectral Tetris constructions provide a near complete characterization of the existence of tight fusion frames. © 2009 SPIE.

Critical dynamics in multicomponent lipid membranes

Physical Review E 2009年第2期80卷 020902(R)-020902(R)页

The formation and dynamics of spatially extended compositional domains in multicomponent lipid membranes both in vivo and in vitro lie at the heart of many important biological and biophysical phenomena. While the thermodynamic basis for domain formation has been explored extensively in the past, the roles of membrane and exterior fluid hydrodynamics on domain formation kinetics have received less attention. A case in point is the impact of hydrodynamics on the dynamics of compositional heterogeneities in lipid membranes in the vicinity of a critical point. In this Rapid Communication it is argued that the asymptotic dynamic behavior of a lipid membrane system in the vicinity of a critical point is strongly influenced by hydrodynamic interactions. More specifically, a mode-coupling argument is developed which predicts a scaling behavior of lipid transport coefficients near the critical point for both symmetric and asymmetric bilayers immersed in a bulk fluid.

New emerging technologies such as high-precision sensors or new MRI machines drive us towards a challenging quest for new, more effective, and more daring mathematical models and algorithms. Therefore, in the last few years researchers have started to investigate different methods to efficiently represent or extract relevant information from complex, high dimensional and/or multimodal data. Efficiently in this context means a representation that is linked to the features or characteristics of interest, thereby typically providing a sparse expansion of such. Besides the construction of new and advanced ansatz systems the central question is how to design algorithms that are able to treat complex and high dimensional data and that efficiently perform a suitable approximation of the signal. One of the main challenges is to design new sparse approximation algorithms that would ideally combine, with an adjustable tradeoff, two properties: a provably good 'quality' of the resulting decomposition under mild assumptions on the analyzed sparse signal, and numerically efficient design. The topic is driven by applications as well as by theoretical questions. Therefore, the aim of this seminar was to bring together a good mixture of scientists with different backgrounds in order to discuss recent progress as well as new challenging perspectives. In particular, it was intended to strengthen the interaction of mathematicians and computer scientists. © 2009 Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings. All Rights Reserved.

Extracting Kinetic and Stationary Distribution Information from Short MD Trajectories via a Collection of Surrogate Diffusion Models. (vol 5, pg 47, 2009)

Low-dimensional stochastic models can summarize dynamical information and make long time predictions associated with observables of complex atomistic systems. Maximum likelihood based techniques for estimating low-dimensional surrogate diffusion models from relatively short time series are presented. It is found that a heterogeneous population of slowly evolving conformational degrees of freedom modulates the dynamics. This underlying heterogeneity results in a collection of estimated low-dimensional diffusion models. Numerical techniques for exploiting this finding to approximate skewed histograms associated with the simulation are presented. In addition, statistical tests are used to assess the validity of the models and determine physically relevant sampling information, e.g. the maximum sampling frequency at which one can discretely sample from an atomistic time series and have a surrogate diffusion model pass goodness-of-fit tests. The information extracted from such analyses can possibly be used to assist umbrella sampling computations as well as help in approximating effective diffusion coefficients. The techniques are demonstrated on simulations of adenylate kinase.

Dense sphere packings from optimized correlation functions

Physical Review E 2009年第3期79卷 031123-031123页

Elementary smooth functions (beyond contact) are employed to construct pair correlation functions that mimic jammed disordered sphere packings. Using the g2-invariant optimization method of Torquato and Stillinger [J. Phys. Chem. B 106, 8354 (2002)], parameters in these functions are optimized under necessary realizability conditions to maximize the packing fraction ϕ and average number of contacts per sphere Z. A pair correlation function that incorporates the salient features of a disordered packing and that is smooth beyond contact is shown to permit a ϕ of 0.6850: this value represents a 45% reduction in the difference between the maximum for congruent hard spheres in three dimensions, π/18≈0.7405 and 0.64, the approximate fraction associated with maximally random jammed packings in three dimensions. We show that, surprisingly, the continued addition of elementary functions consisting of smooth sinusoids decaying as r−4 permits packing fractions approaching π/18. A translational order metric is used to discriminate between degrees of order in the packings presented. We find that to achieve higher packing fractions, the degree of order must increase, which is consistent with the results of a previous study [Torquato et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2064 (2000)].

We introduce the problem of communication with partial information, where there is an asymmetry between the transmitter and the receiver codebooks. Practical applications of the proposed setup include the robust signal hashing problem within the context of multimedia security and asymmetric communications with resource-lacking receivers. We study this setup in a binary detection theoretic context for the additive colored Gaussian noise channel. In our proposed setup, the partial information available at the detector consists of dimensionality-reduced versions of the transmitter codewords, where the dimensionality reduction is achieved via a linear transform. We first derive the corresponding MAP-optimal detection rule and the corresponding conditional probability of error (conditioned on the partial information the detector possesses). Then, we constructively quantify an optimal class of linear transforms, where the cost function is the expected Chernoff bound on the conditional probability of error of the MAP-optimal detector.

Novel Low-Temperature Behavior in Classical Many-Particle Systems

We show that classical many-particle systems interacting with certain soft pair interactions in two dimensions exhibit novel low-temperature behaviors. Ground states span from disordered to crystalline. At some densities, a large fraction of normal-mode frequencies vanish. Lattice ground-state configurations have more vanishing frequencies than disordered ground states at the same density and exhibit vanishing shear moduli. For the melting transition from a crystal, the thermal expansion coefficient is negative. These unusual results are attributed to the topography of the energy landscape.

Dense hard-particle packings are intimately related to the structure of low-temperature phases of matter and are useful models of heterogeneous materials and granular media. Most studies of the densest packings in three dimensions have considered spherical shapes, and it is only more recently that nonspherical shapes (e.g., ellipsoids) have been investigated. Superballs (whose shapes are defined by |x1|2p+|x2|2p+|x3|2p≤1) provide a versatile family of convex particles (p≥0.5) with both cubic-like and octahedral-like shapes as well as concave particles (0

Growing heterogeneous tumors in silico

An in silico tool that can be utilized in the clinic to predict neoplastic progression and propose individualized treatment strategies is the holy grail of computational tumor modeling. Building such a tool requires the development and successful integration of a number of biophysical and mathematical models. In this paper, we work toward this long-term goal by formulating a cellular automaton model of tumor growth that accounts for several different inter-tumor processes and host-tumor interactions. In particular, the algorithm couples the remodeling of the microvasculature with the evolution of the tumor mass and considers the impact that organ-imposed physical confinement and environmental heterogeneity have on tumor size and shape. Furthermore, the algorithm is able to account for cell-level heterogeneity, allowing us to explore the likelihood that different advantageous and deleterious mutations survive in the tumor cell population. This computational tool we have built has a number of applications in its current form in both predicting tumor growth and predicting response to treatment. Moreover, the latent power of our algorithm is that it also suggests other tumor-related processes that need to be accounted for and calls for the conduction of new experiments to validate the model’s predictions.
