We search for conditions under which a characteristic time scale for ordering dynamics toward either of two absorbing states in a finite complex network of interactions does not exist. With this aim, we study random networks and networks with mesoscale community structure built up from randomly connected cliques. We find that large heterogeneity at the mesoscale level of the network appears to be a sufficient mechanism for the absence of a characteristic time for the dynamics. Such heterogeneity results in dynamical metastable states that survive at any time scale.

Recent studies have shown that ATP at high physiological concentrations (>5 mM) can inhibit liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) driven by interactions between intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). However, the mechanism underlying such inhibitory effect still remains elusive. Here, we used all-atom molecular dynamics simulation to study the interaction of ATP with two typical IDPs (i.

In recent years, MAX phases and their two-dimensional counterparts, MXenes, have emerged as significant subjects of interest in the fields of science and engineering, owing to their varied geometries, compositions, and extensive range of applications. This research employs first-principles calculations to explore the geometrical structures, electronic characteristics, phonon dispersions, dynamic stability, electron-phonon coupling (EPC), and superconducting properties of 27 out-of-plane ordered double transition metal carbides, referred to as o-MAX phases, characterized by the general formula MM'AlC (where M = Nb, Mo, W and M' = Sc, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, W). We have identified 16 superconducting o-MAX phases, with four specific compounds WVAlC, WNbAlC, WTaAlC, and MoNbAlC exhibiting a critical temperature () that surpasses 10 K, representing the highest reported experimentally for MAX phases thus far.

Background: The increasing availability of electronic health system data and remotely-sensed environmental variables has led to the emergence of statistical models capable of producing malaria forecasts. Many of these models have been operationalized into malaria early warning systems (MEWSs), which provide predictions of malaria dynamics several months in advance at national and regional levels. However, MEWSs rarely produce predictions at the village-level, the operational scale of community health systems and the first point of contact for the majority of rural populations in malaria-endemic countries.

This study aims at investigating the dynamics of sexually transmitted infectious disease (STID), which is serious health concern. In so doing, the integer order STID model is progressed in to the time-delayed non-integer order STID model by introducing the Caputo fractional derivatives in place of integer order derivatives and including the delay factors in the susceptible and infectious compartments. Moreover, unique existence of the solution for the underlying model is ensured by establishing some benchmark results.
