The genetic regulatory networks are complex dynamic systems which reflect various kinetic behaviors of living things. In this paper, a new structure of coupled repressilators is introduced to exploit the underlying functions. The new coupled repressilator model consists of two identical repressilators inhibiting each other directly. The coupling delays are taken into account. The existence of a unique equilibrium for this system is verified firstly, then the stability criteria for equilibrium are analyzed without and with coupling delays. The different functions on equilibrium and its stability played by related biochemical parameters in the structure including maximal transcription rate, coupling strength, the decay rate ratio between proteins and mRNAs, and coupling delays are discussed. At last, several numerical simulations are made to demonstrate our results.

Neuroimaging methods rely on models of neurovascular coupling that assume hemodynamic responses evolve seconds after changes in neural activity. However, emerging evidence reveals noncanonical BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) responses that are delayed under stress and aberrant in neuropsychiatric conditions. To investigate BOLD coupling to resting-state fluctuations in neural activity, we simultaneously recorded EEG and fMRI in people with schizophrenia and psychiatrically unaffected participants.

Assessing future snow cover changes is challenging because the high spatial resolution required is typically unavailable from climate models. This study, therefore, proposes an alternative approach to estimating snow changes by developing a super-spatial-resolution downscaling model of snow depth (SD) for Japan using a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method, and by downscaling an ensemble of models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) dataset. After assessing the coherence of the observed reference SD dataset with independent observations, we leveraged it to train the CNN downscaling model; following its evaluation, we applied the trained model to CMIP6 climate simulations.

Ammonia (NH) holds promise as a carbon-free fuel. Blending it with highly reactive fuels could efficiently alleviate issues such as slow burning rates and narrow flammability ranges. Ethanol (CHOH) offers the advantage of carbon neutrality and has a high-octane rating.

Exploring Mosquito Excreta as an Alternative Sample Type for Improving Arbovirus Surveillance in Australia.

Health and Biosecurity, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Geelong, VIC 3220, Australia.

Current arbovirus surveillance strategies in Australia involve mosquito collection, species identification, and virus detection. These processes are labour-intensive, expensive, and time-consuming and can lead to delays in reporting. Mosquito excreta has been proposed as an alternative sample type to whole mosquito collection, with potential to streamline the virus surveillance pipeline.
