Fractional integration and optimal estimates for elliptic systems by Hernandez, Felipe, Spector, Daniel

“…In this paper we give an affirmative answer to the Euclidean analogue of a question of Bourgain and Brezis concerning the optimal Lorentz estimate for a Div–Curl system: If $$F \in L^1(\mathbb {R}^3;\mathbb {R}^3)$$ F ∈ L 1 ( R 3 ; R 3 ) satisfies $$\text {div}F=0$$ div F = 0 in the sense of distributions, then the function $$Z=\text {curl} (-\Delta )^{-1} F$$ Z = curl ( - Δ ) - 1 F satisfies $$\begin{aligned} \text {curl } Z&= F \\ \text {div } Z&= 0 \end{aligned}$$ curl Z = F div Z = 0 and there exists a constant $$C>0$$ C > 0 such that $$\begin{aligned} \Vert Z\Vert _{L^{3/2,1}(\mathbb {R}^3;\mathbb {R}^3)} \le C\Vert F\Vert _{L^{1}(\mathbb {R}^3;\mathbb {R}^3)}. …”

Analysis of brain signals by Tan, Yi Bing

“…The numerous brainwave states include Gamma (30-70 Hz), Beta (13-30 Hz), Alpha (8-12 Hz), Theta (4-8 Hz) and Delta (0.5-4 Hz). It is observed that each particular state of brainwave changes the state of consciousness in us and has a very close relationship and diverse effect on the overall health condition. …”

Towards a Single Bio-molecule Detector Based on CMOS Nanofluidic Platform by Zikrallah, Ahmed S.

“…Ideally, we would be able to continuously monitor the secretome of these cell therapies as they are transformed and expanded in manufacturing.However, state-of-theart techniques for monitoring typically low concentrations of cytokines require either Mass Spectroscopy (MS) or immunoassays like Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). We propose the use of CMOS technology to build a proteomic platform with a single biomolecule resolution. …”
