Fractional derivative has a history as long as that of classical calculus, but it is much less popular than it should be. What is the physical meaning of fractional derivative? This is still an open problem. In modeling various memory phenomena, we observe that a memory process usually consists of two stages. One is short with permanent retention, and the other is governed by a simple model of fractional derivative. With the numerical least square method, we show that the fractional model perfectly fits the test data of memory phenomena in different disciplines, not only in mechanics, but also in biology and psychology. Based on this model, we find that a physical meaning of the fractional order is an index of memory.
A regenerable electrochemical immunosensor with novel 3D DNA nanostructure-decorated gold surfaces was developed by taking advantage of DNA-directed antibody conjugation and high resistance to non-specific protein adsorption.
We designed a single-fluorophore-tagged hairpin-structured nano-beacon probe by using a superquencher, graphene oxide (GO), based on which a new method for the analysis of DNA phosphorylation detection was developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
