  • Title: Rigorous derivation of Michaelis-Menten kinetics in the presence of diffusion
  • Room: F207, Nguyen Van Cu Campus.
  • Abstract: Reactions with enzymes are critical in biochemistry, where the enzymes act as catalysis in the process. One of the most used mechanisms for modeling enzyme catalyzed reactions is the Michaelis-Menten (MM) kinetic. In the ODE level, i.e. concentrations are only on time-dependent, this kinetic can be rigorously derived from mass action law using quasi-steady-state approximation. This issue in the PDE setting, for instance when molecular diffusion is taken into account, is considerably more challenging and only formal derivations have been established. In this paper, we prove this derivation rigorously and obtain MM kinetic in the presence of spatial diffusion. In particular, we show that, in general, the reduced problem is a cross diffusion-reaction system. Our proof is based on improved duality method, heat regularization and a suitable modified energy function. To the best of our knowledge, this work provides the first rigorous derivation of MM kinetic from mass action kinetic in the PDE setting.

Undergradate, Master and Ph.D. students and interested people are invited to participate the seminar.

    • Time: 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Thursday, January 25, 2024.
    • Location: Room F207, Campus 1- University of Science(227 Nguyen Van Cu St., District 5, Ho Chi Minh City).

Summary of the report is as follows:

Gaussian Graphical Model is a statistical model that represents the conditional dependence structure between random variables using a graph. The Gaussian graph model is also known as Gaussian Markov random fields or Gaussian network. The structure of a Gauss graph basically consists of two parts: nodes and the edges, in which each node corresponds to a random variable, and each edge represents the conditional dependence between nodes (random variables). This dependence can be directed or undirected. The Gauss graph model is widely applied in various scientific fields including: biology, finance and computer science.

This talk aims to briefly introduce the Gauss graph model and related issues, from theoretical foundations to applications. The main content includes the following sections:

    • Introduction to the Gauss graph model;
    • Application of Gauss graph model (some examples in biology, finance, ...);
    • Select Gauss graph model (Lasso graph model, stepwise backward selection);
    • Introduction to the Gauss graph model with symmetry conditions;
    • Selection of Gauss graph model with symmetry condition (fused Lasso, stepwise backward selection);
    • Applying Gauss graph model with symmetry condition for paired data.

Seminar in Mathematics

Academic Year 2023-2024

Invited Speaker: FRANK KUTZSCHEBAUCH (University of Bern, Mathematical Institute, Swiss)

 

Date & Time: 27, January, 2023, 09.30 a.m -11.00 a.m

Title: Applications of the Oka principle to Linear Algebra problems with holomorphic dependence

 

Abstract: We explain in the recent results of Schott, Huang and the speaker about factorization of holomorphic symplectic matrices as products of holomorphic elementary symplectic matrices. To highlight the techniques for proving such a result we give a more detailed analysis of the proof of the corresponding result for matrices of determinant 1 due to Ivarsson and the speaker.

If time permits we go into the problem of product of exponentials and into connections with  algebraic K-theory.

  • Tilte: Wear-Then-Act: Wearables for Personalized Healthcare & Human-Computer Interaction
  • Abstract: Physiological signals, generated by various bodily sources, contain crucial information about the condition of the body's major structures, encompassing brain activities, eye movements, muscle contractions, and cardio-respiratory features, among others. Monitoring and stimulating such biosignals not only aids in diagnosing, treating, and preventing health conditions but also establishes implicit two-way communication between humans and computers. Unfortunately, the current 'gold standard' for studying physiological signals is intrusive, expensive, and often unwieldy. This talk introduces our innovative wearable systems, promising unobtrusive, cost-effective, and accurate sensing and stimulation capabilities for reliable physiological signals in comfortable in-home settings. I will discuss how our wearable cyber-physical systems offer clinical-grade solutions, enabling the simultaneous sensing of multiple biosignals at non-standard locations and real-time brain entrainment for closed-loop personalized healthcare practices. Furthermore, I will explore potential research avenues for deploying these systems in diverse real-world human-computer interaction (HCI) directions.
