Abstract
The linear canonical transform (LCT) provides a general mathematical tool for solving problems in optical and quantum mechanics. For random signals, which are bandlimited in the LCT domain, the linear canonical correlation function and the linear canonical power spectral density can form a LCT pair. The linear canonical translation operator, which is used to define the convolution and correlation functions, also plays a significant role in the analysis of the random signal estimation. Firstly, the eigenfunctions which are invariant under the linear canonical translation and the unitarity property of it are discussed. Secondly, it shows that all of these connect the LCT sampling theorem and the von Neumann ergodic theorem in the sense of distribution, which will develop an estimation method for the power spectral density of a chirp stationary random signal from one sampling signal in the LCT domain. Finally, the potential applications and future work are discussed.

Abstract
Natural polymeric proteins, isolated from scallop gonad, had already shown promise as a potent nutraceutical. The purpose of this study was to fabricate scallop gonad protein isolates (SGPIs) as a natural alternative emulsifier designed for improving the physicochemical stability of beta-carotene (BC). The influence of carrier oil, including long- and medium-chain triglycerides (LCT/MCT), on the physicochemical stability of BC emulsions was investigated. The SGPI-stabilized BC emulsions were characterized in terms of viscosity, particle diameter, zeta-potential, atomic force microscopy (AFM), cryogenic scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM), and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Compared to SGPI-MCT emulsions, SGPI-LCT emulsions had better resistance to high ionic strengths and thermal treatment. During the 30-day storage period, the particle diameter, zeta-potential, and BC degradation of both emulsions had a great change at 37 degrees C than at 25 or 4 degrees C, and the variation of SGPI-MCT emulsions was more obvious than that of SGPI-LCT, which could be attributed to the high viscosity of SGPI-LCT emulsions. These results indicate that SGPIs can be applied in protecting lipophilic bioactives by using emulsion-based systems, in which LCT oil was more effective for encapsulating and protecting BC than MCT oil.
