A caesium carbonate-promoted reaction of nitro-substituted donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) with primary aromatic amines in water provides a convenient access to β-enamino malonates under mild reaction conditions. The transformation takes place through the formation of allene intermediates from the DACs followed by the conjugate addition of various primary aromatic amines to the intermediates. The reaction proceeds more efficiently in water as compared with organic solvents and the products were isolated in good yields by filtering through a silica gel column without any prior extraction procedure.

Still, it remains a debate after four decades of research on surviving cells, several bacterial species were naturally inducted and found to exist in a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state, an adaptive strategy executed by most bacterial species under different stressful conditions. VBNC state are generally attributed when the cells lose its culturability on standard culture media, diminish in conventional detection methods, but retaining its viability, virulence and antibiotic resistance over a period of years and may poses a risk to marine animals as well as public health and food safety. In this present review, we mainly focus the VBNC state of Vibrios and other human bacterial pathogens.

We consider an adaptive network of identical phase oscillators with the symmetric adaptation rule for the evolution of the connection weights under the influence of an external force. We show that the adaptive network exhibits a plethora of self-organizing dynamical states such as the two-cluster state, multiantipodal clusters, splay cluster, splay chimera, forced entrained state, chimera state, bump state, coherent, and incoherent states in the two-parameter phase diagrams. The intriguing structures of the frequency clusters and instantaneous phases of the oscillators characterize the distinct self-organized synchronized and partial synchronized states.

Reservoir computing with logistic map.

Phys Rev E

September 2024

Department of Nonlinear Dynamics, School of Physics, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli - 620 024, India.

Recent studies on reservoir computing essentially involve a high-dimensional dynamical system as the reservoir, which transforms and stores the input as a higher-dimensional state for temporal and nontemporal data processing. We demonstrate here a method to predict temporal and nontemporal tasks by constructing virtual nodes as constituting a reservoir in reservoir computing using a nonlinear map, namely, the logistic map, and a simple finite trigonometric series. We predict three nonlinear systems, namely, Lorenz, Rössler, and Hindmarsh-Rose, for temporal tasks and a seventh-order polynomial for nontemporal tasks with great accuracy.
