Published: December 2011

The nonlinear dynamics of a nonisothermal thin liquid film on a horizontal cylindrical surface subjected to axial harmonic vibration is investigated in this paper. It is found that the capillary instability of an axisymmetric film on a still cylinder can be saturated via the Marangoni effect by heating the film at the gas side, similar to the saturation of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the planar case. If the capillary instability is not saturated by the Marangoni effect, the combined capillary-Marangoni instability can be saturated by the harmonic axial forcing provided that the forcing amplitude exceeds a certain critical value depending on the rest of parameters. The critical amplitude is demonstrated to increase with the Marangoni number when other parameters are fixed. The critical forcing amplitude at a given forcing frequency is shown to be well approximated by a piecewise linear function of the Marangoni number.

CDK2 activity crosstalk on the ERK kinase translocation reporter can be resolved computationally.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway integrates growth factor signaling through extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) to control cell proliferation. To study ERK dynamics, many researchers use an ERK activity kinase translocation reporter (KTR). Our study reveals that this ERK KTR also partially senses cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) activity, making it appear as if ERK activity rises as cells progress through the cell cycle.

Pharmacogenomics stands as a pivotal driver toward personalized medicine, aiming to optimize drug efficacy while minimizing adverse effects by uncovering the impact of genetic variations on inter-individual outcome variability. Despite its promise, the intricate landscape of drug metabolism introduces complexity, where the correlation between drug response and genes can be shaped by numerous nongenetic factors, often exhibiting heterogeneity across diverse subpopulations. This challenge is particularly pronounced in datasets such as the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Consortium (IWPC), which encompasses diverse patient information from multiple nations.

Synchronization stability of epileptic brain network with higher-order interactions.

Generally, epilepsy is considered as abnormally enhanced neuronal excitability and synchronization. So far, previous studies on the synchronization of epileptic brain networks mainly focused on the synchronization strength, but the synchronization stability has not yet been explored as deserved. In this paper, we propose a novel idea to construct a hypergraph brain network (HGBN) based on phase synchronization.

Type II restriction-modification (R-M) systems play a pivotal role in bacterial defense against invading DNA, influencing the spread of pathogenic traits. These systems often involve coordinated expression of a regulatory protein (C) with restriction (R) enzymes, employing complex feedback loops for regulation. Recent studies highlight the crucial balance between R and M enzymes in controlling horizontal gene transfer (HGT).

This study investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a system with frequency-dependent stiffness using a MEMS-based capacitive inertial sensor as a case study. The sensor is positioned directly on a rotating component of a machine and consists of a microbeam clamped at both ends by fixed supports with a fixed central proof mass. The nonlinear behavior is determined by electrostatic forces, axial and bending motion coupling, and frequency-dependent stiffness.
