In this paper, we propose a time-varying coupling function that results in enhanced synchronization in complex networks of oscillators. The stability of synchronization can be analyzed by applying the master stability approach, which considers the largest Lyapunov exponent of the linearized variational equations as a function of the network eigenvalues as the master stability function. Here, it is assumed that the oscillators have diffusive single-variable coupling. All possible single-variable couplings are studied for each time interval, and the one with the smallest local Lyapunov exponent is selected. The obtained coupling function leads to a decrease in the critical coupling parameter, resulting in enhanced synchronization. Moreover, synchronization is achieved faster, and its robustness is increased. For illustration, the optimum coupling function is found for three networks of chaotic Rössler, Chen, and Chua systems, revealing enhanced synchronization.

Rapid reduction of body size in populations responding to global warming suggests the involvement of temperature-dependent physiological adjustments during growth, such as mitochondrial alterations, in the efficiency of producing metabolic energy, a process that is poorly explored, especially in endotherms. Here, we examined the mitochondrial metabolism and proteomic profile of red blood cells in relation to body size and cellular energetics in nestling shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea) developing at different natural temperatures. We found that nestlings of warmer nests had lighter bodies and smaller beaks at fledging.

The wall-associated kinase (WAK) gene family encodes functional cell wall-related proteins. These genes are widely presented in plants and serve as the receptors of plant cell membranes, which perceive the external environment changes and activate signaling pathways to participate in plant growth, development, defense, and stress response. However, the WAK gene family and the encoded proteins in soybean (Glycine max (L.

Background: Mucin family members have been reported to be widely expressed in gastric carcinoma with diverse functions. Several important mucins exert the function of tumorigenesis or progression in gastric cancer (GC). Here, we conduct this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between mucin expression and clinicopathological features in GC.

The creation of spatially coupled meso-/microenvironments with biomimetic compartmentalized functionalities is of great significance to achieve efficient signal transduction and amplification. Herein, using a soft-template strategy, UiO-67-type hierarchically mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (HMMOFs) were constructed to satisfy the requirements of such an artificial system. The key to the successful synthesis of HMUiO-67 is rooted in the utilization of the preformed cerium-oxo clusters as metal precursors, aligning the growth of MOF crystals with the mild conditions required for the self-assembly of the soft template.

We present functional studies of lysosomes in human cells after uptake of carbon nanodots (CNDs). Even under high CND concentrations, the lysosomal functionality, as characterized via cathepsins B and L as well as the autophagic markers SQSTM1/p62 and LC3B-II, is maintained. Furthermore, branched polyethylenimine (bPEI) molecules have been coupled to the CNDs as a model functionalization or example of a drug.
