Hat function

Gaussian and the wavelet like the Gaussian second derivative ( Mexican hat function). 

In the Mexican Hat function (Figure 3.20), the weights of the winning node and its close neighbors are adjusted to increase their resemblance to the sample pattern (an excitatory effect), but the weights of nodes that are... 

Figure 3. Role of nonhistone protein acetylation in maintaining cellular homeostasis- mis-regulation and disease connection (a) Acetylation of nonhistone proteins are associated with active or repressed chromatin architecture as guided by suitable cellular signals for maintenance of gene expression. Misreg-ulation of HAT function leads to diseased state, where chromatin architecture is altered than under normal condition. In a parallel way the posttranslational modification status of these proteins may act as versatile tool to diagnose the various stages of disease manifestation e.g. probable involvement of acetylated NPMl modulating its stress response function can lead us to use it as a marker for various disease states, (b) Acetylation of nonhistone proteins in connection to diseases like Cancer, AIDS, Diabetes and others. (See Colour Plate 14.)...

Figure 4. Therapeutic strategies to counteract CBP loss of function. CBP loss of function leads to a decrease in histone acetylation levels as well as a decrease in CBP-dependent transcription. Two main approaches can be tested to reverse diis process either resetting HAT functionality or resetting global acetylation levels widi die use of HDAC inhibitors. Whereas both strategies would increase histone acetylation levels, HDAC inhibition would act on a broad range of genes, while CBP activation (overexpression or by a pharmacological approach) would specifically target bodi CBP-dependent histone acetylation and transcription. The structure of some of the HDACi that have been tested in different models, such as small fatty acids and hydroxamic acids, are represented in the boxes...

ING Inhibitor of growth. A family of tumour suppressors (INGl-5). ING3, 4 and 5 are found in multisubunit complexes with the Tip60, MOZ/MORF and HBOl MYST HATs. Function in a number of key cellular processes and are frequently inactivated in human cancer. 

Figure 2.1 Schematic, simplified representation of the modulation of nuclear receptor functioning via classical agonists (a) resulting in the recruitment of coactivators featuring among others histone acetyltransferase (HATs) functionalities and via classical antagonists (b) resulting in the recruitment of corepressors...

Fig. 12.7. Radial potential and charge density for an alkali cluster of 20 atoms, as obtained from the jellium model. Note the FYiedel oscillations in the density of electronic charge. The ion density is assumed to be a top hat function (after W. Ekardt [685]).

Typical distance functions are based on triangular functions or the Mexican hat function (Figure 8.14). 

The convolution kernel depends on the apodization function, in this case a top-hat function has been used. By Fourier transforming the data in u and v, one obtains source images for various frequencies. 

Restricting ourselves to Qi = const., the behaviour of the E(Q2, Q3 [QJ) potential is similar to the Mexican hat function with warping. Figure 6 shows a plot of the function... 

Instead of the Lagrangian weight functions W2p(x), the Cardinal B-splines M (x) [117,118] were utilized in later versions of the PME method [110,112,113]. These weight functions are continuously differentiable and allow the forces to be obtained from analytical differentiation of the approximation of the reciprocal lattice sum. The Cardinal B-spline of the second order M2(x) gives the linear hat function M2(x)= 1 — x — 1 in the interval 02. The nth order B-spline satisfies the following properties ... 

These functions have the property that = 1 at local node i, and 0 at the other nodes. The basis function A, formed by patching together all the local functions i associated with node i is the two-dimensional counterpart of the hat function in one dimension, and is pyramidal in shape. Naturally A, is piecewise linear, and is nonzero only on those elements that have node i as a node. This is illustrated in Figure 1.11. 

Example Consider the rectangular pulse (aka box car or top-hat ) function illustrated in the lower left of Figure 15.1. It is a constant for some range of t, but zero otherwise. The math is simplest if our pulse is centered over the time origin ...
