Optical learning in a smart spatial light modulator

A synaptic plane rendered by an array of smart pixels was described regarding its application as a complementary component for neural network implementation. The smart spatial light modulator featured auto-modification abilities. Thus, an optical system incorporating this device can show self-reliant optical learning. Furthermore, the optical system design, in the area of its optical interconnection scheme, is highly flexible since the independent weight-plane pixels eliminated the difficulty between weight update calculation and weight representation.

Spatial emission control of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers to provide bandwidth gain in multimode fibre links using a simple alignment technique

Etched VCSEL sources are reported which avoid bandwidth collapse in multimode fibre using a simple coupling technique to control the launch. These devices have allowed better than over-filled launch bandwidth for alignment tolerances of ±7 microns.

Effects of morphine and its withdrawal on Y-maze spatial recognition memory in mice

Effects of morphine on acquisition and retrieval of memory have been proven in the avoidance paradigms. In present study, we used a two-trial recognition Y-maze to test the effects of acute morphine and morphine withdrawal on spatial recognition memory. T

Cloning of cDNAs encoding C-type lectins from Elapidae snakes Bungarus fasciatus and Bungarus multicinctus

A number of C-type lectins with various biological activities have been purified and characterized from Viperidae snake venoms. In contrast, only a few reports could be found in literature concerning the C-type lectins in Elapidae snake venoms. Based on t

Molecular Cloning and Sequence Analysis of Two cDNAs Encoding Metalloproteinase2disintegrin from Trimeresurus jerdonii

　从菜花烙铁头蛇的毒腺中,利用RT2PCR 进行体外扩增,克隆到2 个金属蛋白酶2去整合素基 因,命名为TJM21、TJM22. TJM21 cDNA 全长为1 528 bp ,编码481 个氨基酸;TJM22 cDNA 全长为1 578 bp ,编码484 个氨基酸. TJM21 和TJM22 都属于Ⅱ型蛇毒金属蛋白酶,由信号肽、前肽、金属蛋白酶、 间隔肽和去整合素5 部分组成. Ⅱ型蛇毒金属蛋白酶氨基酸序列的比较及进化分析显示,它可进一 步分为两类,一类包括大多数Ⅱ型蛇毒金属蛋白酶(其中含有TJM21) ,而TJM22 和agkistin 则组成了 另一类. 并且TJM22 和agkistin 的第407 位和第426 位残基都是半胱氨酸,而在其它Ⅱ型金属蛋白酶 的相应位置,407 位是丝氨酸,426 位则缺失. TJM22 和agkistin 均有可与整合素α2 Ⅰ区域特异性结合 的片段QPNRKRHDNAQ(残基276～284) ,这个片段在其它Ⅱ型金属蛋白酶中并没有发现. 因此推 断, TJM22 和agkistin 可能属于一类新型的Ⅱ型蛇毒金属蛋白酶.
