The basilar membrane transmits sound vibrations, which are converted into electrical potential changes by the inner hair cells. The basilar membrane is thought to lie on a locally undistorted curved surface because the inner hair cells, which are arranged in an orderly fashion on the basilar membrane, respond to their location-specific frequencies. In mammals, the number of rotations of this surface and the rate of change of its width with each rotation are different. It turns out that by modifying the right helicoid, we can obtain a mathematical model that satisfies these points. In conclusion, even though the three-dimensional structure of the basilar membrane varies among species, this model can reproduce this structure. This further suggests that there are common genetic determinants of cochlear development in mammals. From a practical standpoint, this may be useful for creating cochlear implants.","PeriodicalId":55568,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics-A Journal of Chinese Universities Series B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88188460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that the footprints of the traveler are the output of a full Euclidean algorithm for x and y, whenever y/x is a rational number.

These assignments often are very subjective, especially when correlations among data or among prior information are believed to occur. However, in cases in which the general form of these matrices can be anticipated up to a set of poorly-known parameters, the data and prior information may be used to better-determine (or “tune”) the parameters in a manner that is faithful to the underlying Bayesian foundation of GLS. We identify an objective function, the minimization of which leads to the best-estimate of the parameters and provide explicit and computationally-efficient formula for calculating the derivatives needed to implement the minimization with a gradient descent method. Furthermore, the problem is organized so that the minimization need be performed only over the space of covariance parameters, and not over the combined space of model and covariance parameters. We show that the use of trade-off curves to select the relative weight given to observations and prior information is not a form of tuning, because it does not, in general maximize the posterior probability of the model parameters, and can lead to a different weighting than the procedure described here. We also provide several examples that demonstrate the viability, and discuss both the advantages and limitations of the method.","PeriodicalId":55568,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics-A Journal of Chinese Universities Series B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89129145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
