A Biomimetic Approach for the Creation of Two-Dimensional Microscale Surface Patterns: Creation of Isolated Immunological Synapses by Eric Stern, David J. Mooney, Tarek M. Fahmy

“…Current efforts in surface functionalization have not produced a robust technique capable of creating specific two-dimensional microscale geometrical arrays composed of multiple proteins. Such a capability is desirable for engineering substrates in sensing and cell patterning applications where at least two different protein functionalities in a specific configuration are required. …”

Self-adaptive encryption algorithm for image based on affine and composed chaos by Chang-ci WEN, Qin WANG, Fu-min HUANG, Zhi-shu YUAN, Chun-sheng TAO

“…On the basis of three-dimensional affine transformation in limited integer domain and composed chaos,a novel digital image encryption algorithm was proposed.Firstly,it scrambled pixels’ position and confused pixels’ value according to corresponding coordination.Secondly,it took a series of nonlinear diffusion,substitution and re-diffusion.In the process of substitution,it introduced pixels’ value to perturb multiple chaos systems that were coupled together for self-adaptive encryption.The algorithm proceeded the above two steps for 3 times to defend chosen plaintext attack,and had huge key space to defend violent attack.The scrambling function in it was compatible with images at any ratio of length to width without any preprocessing; the constructed whole chaos system which had a simple form was designed modularly,and could be realized parallel conveniently.…”
