Self-action and effects mutually induced by oscillations interacting in hysteretic media are investigated analytically and numerically. Special attention is paid to non-simplex processes for which presence of intermediate extrema results in appearance of minor nested loops inside the main hysteretic stress-strain loop. Non-simplex regimes are typical of interaction of excitations having different frequencies and amplitudes, but comparable strain rates. It is found that, due to transition between the regimes, frequency and amplitude dependencies of the variations in elasticity and dissipation induced by one wave for another one may become non-monotonous. Either additional dissipation or induced transparency may occur in different regimes. The results obtained are important for correct interpretation of experimental data on nonlinear acoustic interactions in rocks and many other microstructured (mesoscopic) solids that are known to exhibit elastic hysteresis and memory properties.

In ephaptic coupling, physically adjacent neurons influence one another's activity via the electric fields they generate. To date, the molecular mechanisms that mediate and modulate ephaptic coupling's effects remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel lateralizes the potentially mutual ephaptic inhibition between gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs).

With rapid, energy-intensive, and coal-fueled economic growth, global air quality is deteriorating, and particulate matter pollution has emerged as one of the major public health problems worldwide. It is extremely urgent to achieve carbon emission reduction and air pollution prevention and control, aiming at the common problem of weak and unstable signals of characteristic elements in the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology for trace element detection. In this study, the influence of the optical fiber collimation signal enhancement method on the LIBS signal was explored.

The mechanical coupling between molecules represents a promising route for the development of molecular machines. Constructing molecular gears requires easily rotatable and mutually interlocked pinions. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), it is demonstrated that aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc) molecules on Pb(100) exhibit these properties.

This study aimed to investigate the anti-fatigue efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua polysaccharide (PCP) in chronic sleep-deprived mice. Following three weeks of oral administration, PCP demonstrated significant efficacy in alleviating fatigue symptoms. This was evidenced by the prolonged swimming and rotarod time in the high-dose group of PCP, which increased by 73 % and 64 %, respectively.
