Finite-time synchronization of tunnel-diode-based chaotic oscillators

This paper addresses the problem of finite-time synchronization of tunnel diode based chaotic oscillators. After a brief investigation of its chaotic dynamics, we propose an active adaptive feedback coupling which accomplishes the synchronization of tunnel-diode-based chaotic systems with and without the presence of delay(s), basing ourselves on Lyapunov and on Krasovskii-Lyapunov stability theories. This feedback coupling could be applied to many other chaotic systems. A finite horizon can be arbitrarily established by ensuring that chaos synchronization is achieved at a pre-established time. An advantage of the proposed feedback coupling is that it is simple and easy to implement. Both mathematical investigations and numerical simulations followed by PSPICE experiment are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed method.

Controllability and stabilizability of linear time-varying distributed hereditary control systems

This paper is concerned with the controllability and stabilizability problem for control systems described by a time-varyinglinear abstract differential equation with distributed delay in the state variables. An approximate controllability propertyis established, and for periodic systems, the stabilization problem is studied. Assuming that the semigroup of operatorsassociated with the uncontrolled and non delayed equation is compact, and using the characterization of the asymptoticstability in terms of the spectrum of the monodromy operator of the uncontrolled system, it is shown that the approximatecontrollability property is a sufficient condition for the existence of a periodic feedback control law that stabilizes thesystem. The result is extended to include some systems which are asymptotically periodic. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley &Sons, Ltd.

Biomodulation of inflammatory cytokines related to oral mucositis by low-level laser therapy

This study evaluated the effects of LLLT on the expressionof inflammatory cytokines related to the development of oralmucositis by gingival fibroblasts. Primary gingival fibroblastswere seeded on 24-well plates (105cells/well) for 24 h. Freshserum-free culture medium (DMEM) was then added, andcells were placed in contact with LPS (Escherichia coli,1 lgmL1), followed by LLLT irradiation (LaserTABLE—InGaAsP diode prototype—780 nm, 25 mW) delivering 0,0.5, 1.5 or 3 J cm². Cells without contact with LPS werealso irradiated with the same energy densities. Gene expres-sion of TNF- a, IL-1b, IL-6 and IL-8 was evaluated by Real-Time PCR, and protein synthesis of these cytokines wasdetermined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay.Data were statistically analyzed by the Kruskal– Wallis test,complemented by the Mann–Whitney test (P < 0.05). LPStreatment increased the gene expression and protein synthesisof TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-8, while the expression of IL-1b wasnot affected. For LPS-treated groups, LLLT promoted signif-icant decreases in the expression of TNF-a, IL-6, and IL-8 at1.5 J cm2and 3 J cm2. These results demonstrate thatLLLT promoted a beneficial biomodulatory effect on theexpression of inflammatory cytokines related to oral mucosi-tis by human gingival fibroblasts.
