An approach to describe the emergence of the primordial evolving system has been developed. The dynamics of polymerization/depolymerization of some spatially distributed prebiological structures has been analyzed, and two phases of the development of the system have been identified. In the first phase, the polymerization of organic monomers occurs by the influence of external factors, and in the second one depolymerization takes place. Both processes are accompanied by "diffuse mixing" of reaction products. The dynamic equations of the system are presented. The numerical examination of the space nonuniform solution of model equations has shown that, in conditions of low stability of uniform space distribution, these solutions resolve into a number of discrete peaks of non-zero density, which are isolated from each other by free space. Such nonuniform distributions are stable when being close to the bifurcation point; yet in other conditions, they can lose their stability, which entails a more pronounced nonuniformity of space dynamics. Thus, interaction of polymerization/depolymerization processes results in the chaotic self-organization and leads to the origination of complex and nomhomogeneous (putchy) spatial structures. These structures can reflect the emergency of the spatial nonuniformity in primordial associations, in physical space, in the distributive space of characters can correspond to the initial steps of individualization of the first discrete domains fixed in the biological evolution.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of Amyloid-β and Tau neurofibrillary tangles following a pattern known as Thal and Braak stages, respectively (Thal 2002; Braak 1995,2011). Recent research (Pascoal 2020) showed the possibility of recapitulating Braak's histopathological stages in vivo using PET tracer [F]-MK-6240 with manually defined regions of interest. This study analyzes the joint patterns of Amyloid-β and Tau accumulation associated with AD in a completely data-driven fashion.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of Amyloid-ß and Tau neurofibrillary tangles following a pattern known as Thal and Braak stages, respectively (Thal 2002; Braak 1995,2011). Recent research (Pascoal 2020) showed the possibility of recapitulating Braak's histopathological stages in vivo using PET tracer [18F]-MK-6240 with manually defined regions of interest. This study analyzes the joint patterns of Amyloid-ß and Tau accumulation associated with AD in a completely data-driven fashion.

Recent studies have categorized RGCs into 45 types in mice based on transcriptomic profiles, showing strong alignment with morphological and electrophysiological properties. However, little is known about how these types are spatially arranged on the two-dimensional retinal surface-an organization that influences visual encoding-and how their local microenvironments impact development and neurodegenerative responses.

In terms of the phenomenon of nonuniformity adsorption energy between methane and a natural heterogeneous coal surface, a heterogeneous potential well model is established in this study based on adsorption science and molecular dynamics theories. This model describes the methane adsorption positions in coal pores as a three-dimensional space composed of adsorption equipotential surfaces with varying depths of potential well, which emphasizes the heterogeneous distribution of methane adsorption potential well depths in coal and accurately describes the spatial distribution and energy states of methane molecules during methane adsorption and desorption in naturally heterogeneous coal. By taking the residual sum of squares (RSS) and Pearson correlation coefficient as indicators, the fitting accuracies of the Langmuir model and the heterogeneous potential well model for isothermal adsorption and desorption curves are compared so that the superiority of the heterogeneous potential well model in describing the adsorption and desorption of methane in natural coal is confirmed.
