  • Geometric theory for adhering lipid vesicles.
    Colloids and surfaces. B Biointerfaces, 2009
    Co-Authors: Yajun Yin, Jie Yin
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper aims at constructing a general mathematical model for the equilibrium theory of adhering lipid vesicles from a geometrical point of view. Based on the generalized potential functional, a few differential operators and their integral theorems on curved surfaces, the general normal and tangential equilibrium differential equations and boundary Conditions are given at the first time for inhomogeneous lipid vesicles. A general boundary Condition ψ ˙ = 2 ( w − γ / R ) / k c is first put forward including line tension. No assumptions are made either on the symmetry of the vesicle or on that of the substrate. The physical and biological meaning of the equilibrium differential equations and the boundary Conditions are discussed. Numerical simulation results based on the Helfrich energy for adhering lipid vesicles under the axial Symmetric Condition show the effectiveness and convenience of the present theory.

  • Theoretical analysis of adhering lipid vesicles with free edges
    Colloids and surfaces. B Biointerfaces, 2005
    Co-Authors: Hui-ji Shi, Yajun Yin
    Abstract:

    A theoretical model for describing the adhesion of lipid vesicle with free edges is developed. For adhesion in contact potential or in finite-range potential, the total energy functional is defined as the sum of elastic free energy, the surface energy, the line tension energy and the contact potential or the long-ranged potential. The equilibrium differential equation and boundary Conditions for opening-up lipid vesicles are derived through minimizing the total energy functional. Numerical solutions to these equations are obtained under the axial Symmetric Condition. These numerical solutions can be used to qualitatively explain the influence of the substrate on the open-up lipid vesicles.

  • Descriptive and evaluative judgment processes: Behavioral and electrophysiological indices of processing symmetry and aesthetics
    Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2003
    Co-Authors: Thomas Jacobsen, Lea Höfel
    Abstract:

    Descriptive symmetry and evaluative aesthetic judgment processes were compared using identical stimuli in both judgment tasks. Electrophysiological activity was recorded while participants judged novel formal graphic patterns in a trial-by-trial cuing setting using binary responses (Symmetric, not Symmetric; beautiful, not beautiful). Judgment analyses of a Phase 1 test and main experiment performance resulted in individual models, as well as group models, of the participants’ judgment systems. Symmetry showed a strong positive correlation with beautiful judgments and was the most important cue. Descriptive judgments were performed faster than evaluative judgments. The ERPs revealed a phasic, early frontal negativity for the not-beautiful judgments. A sustained posterior negativity was observed in the Symmetric Condition. All Conditions showed late positive potentials (LPPs). Evaluative judgment LPPs revealed a more pronounced right lateralization. It is argued that the present aesthetic judgments engage a two-stage process consisting of early, anterior frontomedian impression formation after 300 msec and right-hemisphere evaluative categorization around 600 msec after onset of the graphic patterns.
