State Estimation for Discrete Time-Delayed Genetic Regulatory Networks With Stochastic Noises Under the Round-Robin Protocols
This paper investigates the problem of state estimation for discrete time-delayed genetic regulatory networks with stochastic process noises and bounded exogenous disturbances under the Round-Robin (RR) protocols. The network measurement outputs obtained by two groups of sensors are transmitted to two remote sub-estimators via two independent communication channels, respectively. To lighten the communication loads…

Transport of Liposome Encapsulated Drugs in Voxelized Computational Model of Human Brain Tumors
There are many obstacles in the transport of chemotherapeutic drugs to tumor cells that lead to irregular and non-uniform uptake of drugs inside tumors. The study of these transport problems will help with accurate prediction of drug transport and optimizing treatment strategy.

Biomolecular Network Controllability With Drug Binding Information
Complex networks are ubiquitous in nature. In biological systems, biomolecules interact with each other to form so-called biomolecular networks, which determine the cellular behaviors of living organisms.

Abnormality Detection in Correlated Gaussian Molecular Nano-Networks: Design and Analysis
A nano-abnormality detection scheme (NADS) in molecular nano-networks is studied. This is motivated by the fact that early detection of diseases such as cancer plays a crucial role in their successful treatment.

Concentration-Encoded Subdiffusive Molecular Communication: Theory, Channel Characteristics, and Optimum Signal Detection
Unlike normal diffusion, in anomalous diffusion, the movement of a molecule is described by the correlated random walk model where the mean square displacement of a molecule depends on the power law of time.
