The Chua corsage memristor (CCM) is considered as one of the candidates for the realization of biological neuron models due to its rich neuromorphic behaviors. In this paper, a universal model for -lobe CCM memristor is proposed. Moreover, a novel small-signal equivalent circuit with one capacitor is derived based on the proposed model to determine the edge of chaos and obtain the zero-pole diagrams and analyze the frequency response and oscillation mechanism of the -lobe CCM system, which are discussed in detail. In view of existence of the edge of chaos, the frequency response and the oscillation mechanism of the simplest oscillator is analysed using the proposed model. Finally, the proposed model has exhibited some essential neural oscillation, including the stable limit cycle, supercritical Hopf bifurcation, spiking and bursting oscillation. This study also reveals a previously undiscovered behavior of bursting oscillation in a CCM system.

If a shortened lifespan is evolutionarily advantageous, it becomes more likely that nature will strive to change it accordingly, affecting how we understand aging. Premature mortality because of aging would seem detrimental to the individual, but under what circumstances can it be of value? Based on a relative incremental increase in fitness, simulations were performed to reveal the benefit of death. This modification allows for continuous evolution in the model and establishes an optimal lifespan even under challenging conditions.

Purpose: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is an important prognostic factor for rectal cancer. This study aims to introduce a novel cutoff point for CEA within the normal range to improve prognosis prediction and enhance patient stratification in rectal cancer patients.
Methods: A total of 316 patients with stages I to III rectal cancer who underwent surgical tumor resection were enrolled.

Mapping the chemical reaction pathways and their corresponding activation barriers is a significant challenge in molecular simulation. Given the inherent complexities of 3D atomic geometries, even generating an initial guess of these paths can be difficult for humans. This paper presents an innovative approach that utilizes neural networks to generate initial guesses for reaction pathways based on the initial state and learning from a database of low-energy transition paths.

Background: In their care of terminally ill patients, palliative care physicians and oncologists are increasingly predisposed to physical and emotional exhaustion, or compassion fatigue (CF). Challenges faced by physicians include complex care needs; changing practice demands, and sociocultural contextual factors. Efforts to better understand CF have, however, been limited.
