Nanoparticle mechanics: deformation detection via nanopore resistive pulse sensing

Darvish, A.,Goyal, G.,Aneja, R.,Sundaram, R. K.,Lee, K.,Ahn, C.,Kim, K. B.,Vlahovska, P.,Kim, M. Royal Society of Chemistry 2016 Nanoscale Vol.8 No.30

<P>Solid-state nanopores have been widely used in the past for single-particle analysis of nanoparticles, liposomes, exosomes and viruses. The shape of soft particles, particularly liposomes with a bilayer membrane, can greatly differ inside the nanopore compared to bulk solution as the electric field inside the nanopores can cause liposome electrodeformation. Such deformations can compromise size measurement and characterization of particles, but are often neglected in nanopore resistive pulse sensing. In this paper, we investigated the deformation of various liposomes inside nanopores. We observed a significant difference in resistive pulse characteristics between soft liposomes and rigid polystyrene nanoparticles especially at higher applied voltages. We used theoretical simulations to demonstrate that the difference can be explained by shape deformation of liposomes as they translocate through the nanopores. Comparing our results with the findings from electrodeformation experiments, we demonstrated that the rigidity of liposomes can be qualitatively compared using resistive pulse characteristics. This application of nanopores can provide new opportunities to study the mechanics at the nanoscale, to investigate properties of great value in fundamental biophysics and cellular mechanobiology, such as virus deformability and fusogenicity, and in applied sciences for designing novel drug/gene delivery systems.</P>

Darvish, Vahid,Nouri, Mojtaba,Razeghi, Mehran,Taghavi, Ali Korean Mathematical Society 2019 대한수학회보 Vol.56 No.2

Let ${\mathcal{A}}$ and ${\mathcal{B}}$ be two operator ${\ast}$-rings such that ${\mathcal{A}}$ is prime. In this paper, we show that if the map ${\Phi}:{\mathcal{A}}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}$ is bijective and preserves Jordan or ${\ast}$-Jordan triple product, then it is additive. Moreover, if ${\Phi}$ preserves Jordan triple product, we prove the multiplicativity or anti-multiplicativity of ${\Phi}$. Finally, we show that if ${\mathcal{A}}$ and ${\mathcal{B}}$ are two prime operator ${\ast}$-algebras, ${\Psi}:{\mathcal{A}}{\rightarrow}{\mathcal{B}}$ is bijective and preserves ${\ast}$-Jordan triple product, then ${\Psi}$ is a ${\mathbb{C}}$-linear or conjugate ${\mathbb{C}}$-linear ${\ast}$-isomorphism.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two $C^*$-algebras such that $\mathcal{A}$ is prime. In this paper, we investigate the additivity of maps ${\Phi}$ from $\mathcal{A}$ onto $\mathcal{B}$ that are bijective and satisfy $${\Phi}(A^*B+{\eta}BA^*)={\Phi}(A)^*{\Phi}(B)+{\eta}{\Phi}(B){\Phi}(A)^*$$ for all $A,B{\in}\mathcal{A}$ where ${\eta}$ is a non-zero scalar such that ${\eta}{\neq}{\pm}1$. Moreover, if ${\Phi}(I)$ is a projection, then ${\Phi}$ is a ${\ast}$-isomorphism.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two operator $\ast$-rings such that $\mathcal{A}$ is prime. In this paper, we show that if the map $\Phi:\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{B}$ is bijective and preserves Jordan or $\ast$-Jordan triple product, then it is additive. Moreover, if $\Phi$ preserves Jordan triple product, we prove the multiplicativity or anti-multiplicativity of $\Phi$. Finally, we show that if $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are two prime operator $\ast$-algebras, $\Psi:\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{B}$ is bijective and preserves $\ast$-Jordan triple product, then $\Psi$ is a $\mathbb{C}$-linear or conjugate $\mathbb{C}$-linear $\ast$-isomorphism.

Azopyridine Molecular Conductor: A Superior Device for Molecular Switch Technology

Masoud Darvish Ganji 대한금속·재료학회 2012 ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LETTERS Vol.8 No.6

The electron transport through a single molecular conductor consisting of an azopyridine (AZP) sandwiched between Au electrodes has been investigated using the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism combined with the DFT method. We show that when AZP converts between its trans and cis conformations, this simple molecular device switches between a strongly and a weakly conducting state. We also found that the trans isomer can exhibit novel NDR behavior which can be used as the basis of memory, switching and logic functionality. The switching behavior and NDR characteristic are rationalized by analyzing the device transmission coefficients and electronic structures.

MOBA based design of FOPID–SSSC for load frequency control of interconnected multi-area power systems

Ali Darvish Falehi 국제구조공학회 2018 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.22 No.1

Automatic Generation Control (AGC) has functionally controlled the interchange power flow in order to suppress the dynamic oscillations of frequency and tie-line power deviations as a perturbation occurs in the interconnected multi-area power system. Furthermore, Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) can effectively assist AGC to more enhance the dynamic stability of power system. So, Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC), one of the well-known FACTS devices, is here applied to accurately control and regulate the load frequency of multi-area multi-source interconnected power system. The research and efforts made in this regard have caused to introduce the Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) based SSSC, to alleviate both the most significant issues in multi-area interconnected power systems i.e., frequency and tie-line power deviations. Due to multi-objective nature of aforementioned problem, suppression of the frequency and tie-line power deviations is formularized in the form of a multi-object problem. Considering the high performance of Multi Objective Bees Algorithm (MOBA) in solution of the non-linear objectives, it has been utilized to appropriately unravel the optimization problem. To verify and validate the dynamic performance of self-defined FOPID–SSSC, it has been thoroughly evaluated in three different multi-area interconnected power systems. Meanwhile, the dynamic performance of FOPID–SSSC has been accurately compared with a conventional controller based SSSC while the power systems are affected by different Step Load Perturbations (SLPs). Eventually, the simulation results of all three power systems have transparently demonstrated the dynamic performance of FOPID–SSSC to significantly suppress the frequency and tie-line power deviations as compared to conventional controller based SSSC.

Design and Scrutiny of Maiden PSS for Alleviation of Power System Oscillations Using RCGA and PSO Techniques

Falehi, Ali Darvish The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers 2013 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.8 No.3

In this paper, a novel and robust Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is proposed as an effective approach to improve stability in electric power systems. The dynamic performance of proposed PSS has been thoroughly compared with Conventional PSS (CPSS). Both the Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques are applied to optimum tune the parameter of both the proposed PSS and CPSS in order to damp-out power system oscillations. Due to the high sufficiency of both the RCGA and PSO techniques to solve the very non-linear objective, they have been employed for solution of the optimization problem. In order to verify the dynamic performance of these devices, different conditions of disturbance are taken into account in Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system. Moreover, to ensure the robustness of proposed PSS in damping the power system multi-mode oscillations, a Multi Machine (MM) power system under various disturbances are considered as a test system. The results of nonlinear simulation strongly suggest that the proposed PSS significantly enhances the power system dynamic stability in both of the SMIB and MM power system as compared to CPSS.

Biranvand, Nader,Darvish, Vahid The Kangwon-Kyungki Mathematical Society 2018 한국수학논문집 Vol.26 No.4

In this paper, we study a new iterative method for solving mixed equilibrium problem and a common fixed point of a finite family of Bregman strongly nonexpansive mappings in the framework of reflexive real Banach spaces. Moreover, we prove a strong convergence theorem for finding common fixed points which also are solutions of a mixed equilibrium problem.
