The collective behavior of an ensemble of multimode stochastic oscillators is investigated. The oscillators are pulse coupled; they are able to emit pulses and to detect the pulses emitted by the others. As a function of the output intensity in the system they can operate in different modes having different pulsing periods. The system is designed to optimize the output intensity around a fixed f* output threshold. In order to do so a simple dynamics is considered. Whenever the total output intensity in the system is lower than f*, a mode with a higher interpulse period is chosen. If the light intensity in the system is higher than f*, a mode with a lower interpulse period is selected. As a side effect of this simple optimization rule, for a given f* interval a nontrivial synchronization of the oscillators is observed. The synchronization level is studied by computer simulations, investigating the influence of model parameters (number of modes, stochasticity of the oscillators, the f* threshold value, and interaction topology). An experimental realization of this system is also considered; an ensemble of electronic oscillators communicating with light pulses was constructed and studied. The experimental system behaves in many ways similar to the theoretically considered multimode stochastic oscillator ensemble.

Catechins in tea, as promoters of human health, have attracted widespread attention. Herein, a dual-signal mode (colorimetric and fluorescence) sensor array for catechin species fingerprinting was built based on PtNi bunched nanoparticle (PtNi-BNP)--phenylenediamine (OPD)-HO system. PtNi-BNPs catalyze the reaction between OPD and HO to produce oxidized OPD (oxOPD) with both colorimetric (yellow) and fluorescent properties.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used for many years to study the pathophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Based on single- or dual-pulse TMS and EMG and/or single motor unit (MU) recordings, many groups have described a loss of central inhibition as an early marker of ALS dysfunction, reflecting a state of cortical 'hyperexcitability'. This conclusion is not without its detractors, however, leading us to reexamine this issue using 4-pulse TMS, shown previously to be more effective for testing central motor pathway functional integrity.

The unique insertion capability of Ag into cytosine-cytosine (C-Ag-C) mismatch-base pairs enables precise fabrication of DNA-trapped silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) through varying the DNA sequences, thereby offering precise assembly of DNA-AgNCs and demonstrating great fluorescence applications. However, most of the DNA-AgNC-based fluorescence sensors have a single output signal. Herein, we developed a dimerized DNA-AgNC system through C-Ag-C connection at the 3'-end of a designed DNA.
