Bio-Protocol, 2014 This protocol serves to determine the integrity of the barrier function of (murine) epidermis. Defects in the barrier function lead to dehydration and infection in neonatal mice/humans.

Busemann Functions and Barrier Functions [PDF]
Acta Applicandae Mathematicae, 2017 We show that Busemann functions on a smooth, non-compact, complete, boundaryless, connected Riemannian manifold are viscosity solutions with respect to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation determined by the Riemannian metric and consequently they are locally semi-concave with linear modulus.

Molecular Cell, 2005 The silenced HMR domain is restricted from spreading by barrier elements, and the right barrier is a unique t-RNA(THR) gene. We show that sequences immediately flanking the silenced domain were enriched in acetylated, but not methylated, histones, whereas the barrier element was associated with a nucleosome-free region.

Extent-compatible control barrier functions [PDF]
Systems & Control Letters, 2021 Safety requirements in dynamical systems are commonly enforced with set invariance constraints over a safe region of the state space. Control barrier functions, which are Lyapunov-like functions for guaranteeing set invariance, are an effective tool to enforce such constraints and guarantee safety when the system is represented as a point in the state ...
