Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation.

The molluscicidal activity of the latex of Euphorbia splendens var. hislopii on Melanoides tuberculata (Thiaridae), a snail associated with habitats of Biomphalaria glabrata (Planorbidae). (1/15)

The use of the latex of Euphorbia splendens var. hislopii was considered as an effective control method for Biomphalaria glabrata in Sumidouro, Rio de Janeiro. However, the appearance and expansion of the snail Melanoides tuberculata since August 1997, with the concomitant reduction of the population of B. glabrata suggest that competitive exclusion might be taking place. Depending on the susceptibility of the thiarid to the E. splendens toxin, the natural control that is occurring could be interrupted by the employment of the latex if the planorbid were less susceptible to the toxin. The aim of this study is to investigate the molluscicidal activity of the latex on M. tuberculata. We used 420 M. tuberculata, from Sumidouro. Fourteen different latex concentrations were tested using World Health Organization general methodology. Probit analysis was used for LD90 and LD50 determination. The LD50 was 3.57 mg/l and LD90 was 6.22 mg/l. At the highest concentration (10 mg/l) there was no survival. No significant differences among replicas (chi2 = 8.31; gl = 13; p > 0.05) were found. The LD90 dose for M. tuberculata was 13.8 times greater than that for B. glabrata, so that the molluscicide in the presence of the thiarid may have a synergic effect on reduction of Biomphalaria populations.  (+info)

Coevolutionary networks: a novel approach to understanding the relationships of humans with the infectious agents. (2/15)

Human organism is interpenetrated by the world of microorganisms, from the conception until the death. This interpenetration involves different levels of interactions between the partners including trophic exchanges, bi-directional cell signaling and gene activation, besides genetic and epigenetic phenomena, and tends towards mutual adaptation and coevolution. Since these processes are critical for the survival of individuals and species, they rely on the existence of a complex organization of adaptive systems aiming at two apparently conflicting purposes: the maintenance of the internal coherence of each partner, and a mutually advantageous coexistence and progressive adaptation between them. Humans possess three adaptive systems: the nervous, the endocrine and the immune system, each internally organized into subsystems functionally connected by intraconnections, to maintain the internal coherence of the system. The three adaptive systems aim at the maintenance of the internal coherence of the organism and are functionally linked by interconnections, in such way that what happens to one is immediately sensed by the others. The different communities of infectious agents that live within the organism are also organized into functional networks. The members of each community are linked by intraconnections, represented by the mutual trophic, metabolic and other influences, while the different infectious communities affect each other through interconnections. Furthermore, by means of its adaptive systems, the organism influences and is influenced by the microbial communities through the existence of transconnections. It is proposed that these highly complex and dynamic networks, involving gene exchange and epigenetic phenomena, represent major coevolutionary forces for humans and microorganisms.  (+info)

Exploratory research on bioactive natural products with a focus on biological phenomena. (8/15)

The discovery of new basic compounds holds the key for advancing material sciences. We have focused on the identification and characterization of natural key compounds that control biologically and physiologically intriguing phenomena. The discovery of new bioactive molecules, facilitated by a deeper understanding of nature, should advance our knowledge of biological processes and lead to new strategies to treat disease. The structure and function of natural compounds are sometimes unexpectedly original. Based on our past experience and results, we have carried out research to find new directions for compound exploration by directly learning from dynamic biological phenomena in the field, and have succeeded in creating a new research field in biological molecular sciences.  (+info)

Intervention in Biological Phenomena Modeled by S-Systems - CBGSE  Intervention in Biological Phenomena Modeled by S-Systems - CBGSE
Abstract: Recent years have witnessed extensive research activity in modeling biological phenomena as well as in developing intervention strategies for such phenomena. S-systems, which offer a good compromise between accuracy and mathematical flexibility, are a promising framework for modeling the dynamical behavior of biological phenomena. In this paper, two different intervention strategies, namely direct and indirect, are proposed for the S-system model. In the indirect approach, the prespecified desired values for the target variables are used to compute the reference values for the control inputs, and two control algorithms, namely simple sampled-data control and model predictive control (MPC), are developed for transferring the control variables from their initial values to the computed reference ones. In the direct approach, a MPC algorithm is developed that directly guides the target variables to their desired values. The proposed intervention strategies are applied to the ...

EONS modeling platform is a resourceful learning and research tool to study the mechanisms underlying the non-linear dynamics of synaptic transmission with the aid of mathematical models. Mathematical modeling of information processing in CNS pathways, in particular modeling of molecular events and synaptic dynamics, have not been extensively developed owing to the complex computations involved in integrating a multitude of parameters. In this paper, we discuss the development of a strategy to adapt the EONS synaptic modeling platform to a multi-node environment using a parallel computational framework to compute data intensive long simulations in a shorter time frame. We describe how this strategy can be applied to (i) determine the optimal values of the numerous parameters required for fitting experimental data, (ii) determine the impact of all parameters on various aspects of synaptic transmission (under normal conditions or conditions mimicking pathological conditions) and (iii) study the ...

A sequence of measured quantities is determined for a chemical reactor and a data generator generates a curve in normal coordinates from a respective predetermined normal form that describes a type of critical state. Each normal form is imaged onto the sequence of measured quantities by neural networks whereby a respective neural network is allocated to a data generator. The imaging is optimized by applying parameter optimization methods. The neural network that converges best through use of parameter optimization method describes the critical state that lies closest to the actual state of the chemical reactor.

Failure prediction in automatically generated digital elevation models  Failure prediction in automatically generated digital elevation models
The work presented has highlighted the many disadvantages of parameter optimisation. Whilst significant improvements in the r.m.s.e were achieved in some areas, this was only after extensive testing and regeneration of the same model. The large number of strategy parameters used in OrthoMAX means that to test every parameter combination would be an enormous undertaking and clearly impracticable in normal circumstances. The data and results from the study prove the extreme variability of the software in certain areas, and the importance and criticality of the strategy parameters. Whilst the parameters have proved to have a significant effect in certain areas, the data has shown that manipulation of the parameters has little if any effect in areas well suited to the matching algorithm. Improvements in the accuracy of these areas are likely to be marginal through manipulation of the strategy parameters. The tests in this study were all carried out on data with checkpoint information. If this data ...

Despite recent advances in the field of image-guided interventions (IGI), the bottleneck for Angiography/X-ray guided procedures in particular is accurate and robust 2D-3D image alignment. The conventional, straight-forward parameter optimisation approach is known to be ill-posed and less efficient. Retrieval-based approaches may be of superior choice here. However, this requires salient and robust image features, which can handle the difficulties of Angiographic images such as high level of noise and contrast variance. In this paper, we investigate state-of-the-art features of the field of computer vision regarding the applicability and reliability in the challenging scenario of Angiography ...

Hippo pathway mediates resistance to cytotoxic drugs | PNAS  Hippo pathway mediates resistance to cytotoxic drugs | PNAS
At the onset of our experiments with gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer cells, we were surprised to find that there was a large inconsistency in the published results (Fig. 1B and SI Appendix, Table S1). The same cell lines in different studies were reported as sensitive or resistant, and this was true in all 15 cell lines tested. We found that differences in sensitivity depended very strongly on the cell density (Fig. 1D), and this stands as the most likely explanation for these findings and perhaps for others in drug-profiling efforts (6). Discrepancy in experimental findings is often blamed on sloppiness and has been excoriated as part of an epidemic of irreproducible scientific experiments (51). A fairer lesson is that inconsistency may reflect the extreme sensitivity of some biological phenomena to experimental conditions. History has shown that trying to resolve these can inspire discovery, as we believe has happened here. The resolution to the discrepant findings with gemcitabine is in ...

Pterygium is a common ocular surface disease characterized by fibrovascular invasion of the cornea and is sight-threatening due to astigmatism, tear film disturbance, or occlusion of the visual axis. However, the mechanisms for formation and post-surgical recurrence of pterygium are not understood, and a valid animal model does not exist. Here, we investigated the possible mechanisms of pterygium pathogenesis and recurrence. First we performed a genome wide expression analysis (human Affymetrix Genechip, >22000 genes) with principal component analysis and clustering techniques, and validated expression of key molecules with PCR. The controls for this study were the un-involved conjunctival tissue of the same eye obtained during the surgical resection of the lesions. Interesting molecules were further investigated with immunohistochemistry, Western blots, and comparison with tear proteins from pterygium patients. Principal component analysis in pterygium indicated a signature of matrix-related structural

Lipids are a different and ubiquitous cluster of compounds having key biological functions like structural constituents of cell membranes, aiding as energy storage bases and play a part in cell signaling pathways. Compound research in structural diversity of lipids benefits developments in the field of membrane lipids which in turn explains biological phenomena at the nanoscale sphere. Multiple roles can be performed by Phospholipids in cells by creating the permeability blockade for cells and cell organelles and by providing the matrix for the association and utility of a wide diversity of catalytic developments, also by substitute as donors in the production of macromolecules, and by keenly inducing the functional properties of membrane-associated developments.. ...

Purpose : The development of stem cell-derived retinal organoid systems has opened previously unimaginable possibilities for the study and potential treatment of retinal degenerative diseases. However their variability and the lack of high throughput platforms for their analysis pose severe limitations for their use in drug development applications. Hence, the purpose of this work was to develop a platform (3D- ARQ) that enables fluorescence quantification-based large-scale drug screening in complex human iPSC-derived retinal organoids, while providing the speed, sensitivity and reproducibility necessary for this kind of assays. Methods : Transgenic hiPSC lines harboring GFP or YFP fluorescent reporters were generated and induced to differentiate into retinal organoids. Wild type retinal organoids were stained with various fluorescent dyes and used for parameter optimization purposes. Non-stained organoids were used as controls in all experiments. Organoids were seeded into v-bottom 96 well ...

We will explore a series of case studies in which the tools of chemistry have been brought to bear on biological questions and seek to answer the following: Did the application of small molecules that were designed and synthesized by chemists allow the researchers to elucidate biological phenomena that would have remained opaque using genetic and biochemical approaches? Do the findings suggest further experiments? If so, could follow-up experiments be carried out with known techniques, or would development of further chemical tools be required? Topics will include: the design and synthesis of chemical modulators of gene expression, signal transduction, and protein-protein interactions; chemical approaches to protein engineering and drug-target validation; activity-based proteomics; and chemical tagging of biomolecular targets. ...

talks.cam : A Natural History of Sentience  talks.cam : A Natural History of Sentience
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Fiona Roby.. Sentient creatures are ones that have a capacity for feeling; they have the potential to suffer and it is valid to be concerned about their well-being. But the problem with sentience is that it is difficult and problematic to make assumptions about. If we assume that a particular species is sentient, we can be accused of being unparsimonious in our explanations of its behaviour and anthropomorphic in our inferences. If we assume that it isnt, we may find ourselves denying the moral status of an ethically relevant being. In this talk I argue that one pragmatic assumption can and should be made about sentience - that it evolved. Taking this simple step allows us to think about sentience as a biological phenomenon that is present in humans and is likely to have antecedents in other animal species. Even if a completely human-like sentience is not a part of the biological make up of many animals, facets of sentience may be present, ...

We begin from reviewing two concepts, motility in living systems, and active matter (also known as active materials). The main part of the talk is concerned with PDE models of two specific types of active matter: (i) suspensions of swimming bacteria and (ii) active gels that are networks of cross linked filaments subjected to action of energy transducing molecular motors. First we present a brief review of our past work on bacteria swimming in Newtonian fluids and current work in progress of bacteria swimming in liquid crystals. These has been preformed in a close collaboration with experimental group of I. Aronson, who will present a talk on this subject. Next we consider PDE models of motility of eukaryotic cells on a substrate. Our goal is to capture mathematically the key biological phenomena such as steady motion with no external stimuli and spontaneous breaking of symmetry. To this end we study two models of the cells cytoskeleton (active gel): the phase-field model and the free boundary ...

First published August 20, 2009; doi: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00185.2009.-We consider the nature and utility of marginal decompression sickness (DCS) events in fitting probabilistic decompression models to experimental dive trial data. Previous works have assigned various fractional weights to marginal DCS events, so that they contributed to probabilistic model parameter optimization, but less so than did full DCS events. Inclusion of fractional weight for marginal DCS events resulted in more conservative model predictions. We explore whether marginal DCS events are correlated with exposure to decompression or are randomly occurring events. Three null models are developed and compared with a known decompression model that is tuned on dive trial data containing only marginal DCS and non-DCS events. We further investigate the technique by which ...

Parallel Programming Laboratory  Parallel Programming Laboratory
NAMD is a production molecular dynamics application for biomolecular simulations that include assemblages of proteins, cell-membranes and water molecules. NAMD has demonstrated its performance on several parallel computer architectures. In a biomolecular simulation, the problem-size is fixed and a large number of iterations need to be executed to understand interesting biological phenomenon. Hence we need MD applications to scale to thousands of processors, even though the individual time step available for parallelization is quite small. The Blue Gene/L machine has tens of thousands of embedded Power PC 440 processors. In this paper, we present the challenges we had to overcome to get good sequential performance on the embedded 440 core, by the use of various compiler optimization techniques that use SIMD instructions. We also present several techniques to scale NAMD to 20,480 nodes of Blue Gene/L. These include topology specific optimizations to localize communication, new messaging protocols ...

Validity and Utility in Biological Traits | SpringerLink  Validity and Utility in Biological Traits | SpringerLink
Trait" is a ubiquitous term in biology, but its precise meaning and theoretical foundations remain opaque. After distinguishing between "trait" and "character," I argue for the value of adopting Theodosius Dobzhanskys 1956 definition and framework for understanding "trait," which holds that traits are just "semantic devices" that artificially impose order on continuous biological phenomena. I elaborate on this definition to distinguish between trait validity (compliance with Dobzhanskys trait definition) and trait utility (usefulness of a trait). As a consequence of this elaboration of the meaning of "trait," it becomes clear that considerations of adaptation, function, homogeneity and natural kinds have clouded discussions of the meaning of "trait" per se. Combining this account with work by David Hull and examples from contemporary biology, I demonstrate that even broad or heterogeneous traits (including multiple sub-traits) can qualify as valid and useful.

Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living | Learning Philosophy  Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living | Learning Philosophy
What makes a living system a living system? What kind of biological phenomenon is the phenomenon of cognition? These two questions have been frequently considered, but, in this volume, the authors, Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, consider them as concrete biological questions. Their analysis is bold and provocative, for the authors have constructed a systematic…

Author Summary Recent technology has made it possible to do experiments that show hundreds or even thousands of genes that play a role in a disease or other biological phenomena. Interpreting these experimental results in the light of everything that has ever been published about any of those genes is often overwhelming, and the failure to take advantage of all prior knowledge may impede biomedical research. The computer program described in this paper

Among vertebrate species of the major vertebrate classes in the wild, a seasonal rhythm of whole body fuel metabolism, oscillating from lean to obese condition, is a common biological phenomenon. This annual cycle is driven in part by annual changes in the circadian dopaminergic signaling at the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), with diminution of circadian peak dopaminergic activity at the SCN facilitating development of the seasonal obese insulin resistant condition. The present study investigated whether such an ancient circadian dopamine-SCN activity system for expression of the seasonal obese, insulin resistant phenotype may be operative in animals made obese, insulin resistant by high fat feeding and if so whether reinstatement of the circadian dopaminergic peak at the SCN would be sufficient to reverse the adverse metabolic impact of the high fat diet without alteration of caloric intake ...

Molecular rotors as conditionally fluorescent labels for rapid detection of biomolecular interactions  Molecular rotors as conditionally fluorescent labels for rapid detection of biomolecular interactions
We demonstrate the use of fluorescent molecular rotors as probes for detecting biomolecular interactions, specifically peptide-protein interactions. Molecular rotors undergo twisted intramolecular charge transfer upon irradiation, relax via the nonradiative torsional relaxation pathway, and have been typically used as viscosity probes. Their utility as a tool for detecting specific biomolecular interactions has not been explored. Using the well characterized p53-Mdm2 interaction as a model system, we designed a 9-(2-carboxy-2-cyanovinyl) julolidine-based p53 peptide reporter, JP1-R, which fluoresces conditionally only upon Mdm2 binding. The reporter was used in a rapid, homogeneous assay to screen a fragment library for antagonists of the p53-Mdm2 interaction, and several inhibitors were identified. Subsequent validation of these hits using established secondary assays suggests increased sensitivity afforded by JP1-R. The fluorescence of molecular rotors contingent upon target binding makes them ...

The work described in this thesis involves the application of direct real-time biomolecular interaction analysis using existing SPR-based biosensors and the development of novel alternative SPR-based technologies. These systems were applied to the investigation of whole cell binding to an immobilised ligand. Solid-phase blood typing was demonstrated by employing monoclonal anti- A IgG and anti-B IgM as affinity ligands for the capture of washed whole red blood cells (RBC). Protein A affinity-capture of anti-A IgG was used as an alternative to direct immobilisation thereby facilitating surface regeneration. A new non-real-time fibre optic-based system (BIACORE Probe) was evaluated using the same affinity-capture format and was successfully applied to direct whole blood typing. Non-real time analysis limited the data quality. Therefore, a similar real-time fibre optic device was constructed. In addition, a miniature SPR-based biosensor employing a single platform optical configuration was ...

SOFI Simulation Tool: A Software Package for Simulating and Testing Super-Resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging  SOFI Simulation Tool: A Software Package for Simulating and Testing Super-Resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging
Super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) allows one to perform sub-diffraction fluorescence microscopy of living cells. By analyzing the acquired image sequence with an advanced correlation method, i.e. a high-order cross-cumulant analysis, super-resolution in all three spatial dimensions can be achieved. Here we introduce a software tool for a simple qualitative comparison of SOFI images under simulated conditions considering parameters of the microscope setup and essential properties of the biological sample. This tool incorporates SOFI and STORM algorithms, displays and describes the SOFI image processing steps in a tutorial-like fashion. Fast testing of various parameters simplifies the parameter optimization prior to experimental work. The performance of the simulation tool is demonstrated by comparing simulated results with experimentally acquired data.. ...

Animal - Wikipedia  Animal - Wikipedia
A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the organism model will provide insight into the workings of other organisms.[138] Model organisms are in vivo models and are widely used to research human disease when human experimentation would be unfeasible or unethical.[139] This strategy is made possible by the common descent of all living organisms, and the conservation of metabolic and developmental pathways and genetic material over the course of evolution.[140] Studying model organisms can be informative, but care must be taken when extrapolating from one organism to another.[141]. In researching human disease, model organisms allow for better understanding the disease process without the added risk of harming a human. The species chosen will usually meet a determined taxonomic equivalency to humans, so as to react to disease or its treatment in a way that resembles human ...

The paper presents simulation studies targeting high-power narrow-linewidth emission from semiconductor distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. The studies contain analytic and numerical calculations of emission linewidth, side mode suppression ratio and output power for DFB lasers without phase shifts and with 1 × λ/ 4 and 2 × λ/ 8 phase shifts, taking into account the grating and facets reflectivities, the randomness of the spontaneous emission and the longitudinal photon and carrier density distributions in the laser cavity. Single device structural parameter optimization is generally associated with a trade-off between achieving a narrow linewidth and a high output power. Correlated optimization of multiple structural parameters enables the evaluation of achievable ranges of narrow linewidth and high power combinations. Devices with long cavities and low grating coupling coefficients, κ (keeping κL values below the levels that promote re-broadening), with AR-coated facets and with a ...

As a graduate student in physics, I recognized the immense opportunities offered by using physical methods and physics-based approaches to study biological function. At the time, I became intrigued by the complexity of biological phenomena, and was captivated by the challenges of reducing this complexity to basic physical principles at the molecular level. I was impressed by advances in structural and computational biology, based largely on physical techniques, that enabled us to look intimately into three-dimensional structures of biological molecules and study forces that keep structures together, influence biomolecular dynamics, and drive biomolecular interactions. As time passed, I developed an appreciation for pathways and networks within and between cells, tissues, organs, and organisms, as well as for bioengineering applications based on biophysical studies..

Our group is interested in using computers to understand biological phenomena, via data analysis, modelling and prediction. Our main focus at present is on the area of quantitative proteomics: how can we measure the levels of all the individual proteins in cells and tissues, and understand how these levels change in different conditions, as well as under stress. We are working on methods to do this in collaboration with mass spectrometrists and protein chemists, developing software for experimental design and downstream analysis of results, using yeast and the fruit fly as model systems. In parallel, we are analysing experimental RNA sequencing data in yeast to understand how cells regulate the translation of mRNA in to proteins, a fundamental process of molecular biology which is now know to play a significant role in the regulation of gene expression, particularly under stress conditions.. ...

chronobiology  chronobiology
In life, timing is everything. There is a new buzzword in cancer therapy, Chronobiology. Simply put, this means the study of clocklike stuff in living things. Or you can use the brainier definition, Chronobiology is the quantitative study of rhythmic temporal relationships in biological phenomena. Our bodies go through a day as if multiple clocks were hardwired into our brains, organs, and very cells telling us what to do and when to do it. In recent years scientists have just begun to understand these multiple rhythms of activity and rest that different systems in the body go through on a daily basis. These daily, or circadian, cycles repeat themselves every 24 hours. Cells dont grow at a constant rate; rather there are bursts of frantic cell division followed by rest spells. Hormones are not generated at a steady flow rate but have high points when they are dumped into the blood and low points throughout the day. All animals have built in clocks in not just their bodies but in their ...

As if that werent enough, from time to time I get an email with a photo of some biological oddity or other (usually something I cant myself identify). This photo in particular caught my eye. One, because it is truly strange, and 2) because it represents one of the coolest and weirdest biological phenomena I know.. The strange plant part in the photo is called a gall. A gall is a structure that a plant creates, not of its own accord, but after being induced to do so, usually by an insect or a mite. The animal injects a particular chemical into the plant, and the plant responds by growing a very distinctive, protective structure that provides shelter to the animal. Often, the galls are also filled with nutritious starch, feeding the growing larvae as well as housing it.. This particular gall was found on a Sitka spruce, and is known as a Cooley spruce gall. In it lives the larvae of a spruce adelgid, and insect much like an aphid. The galls are induced generally on the new growth of the trees, ...

AMHERST, Mass. -- Scoffing at or cutting funds for basic biological research on unusual animal adaptations from Gila monster venom to snail sex, though politically appealing to some, is short-sighted and only makes it more likely that important economic and social benefits will be missed in the long run, say a group of evolutionary biologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.. Writing in a recent issue of BioScience, researchers Patricia Brennan, Duncan Irschick, Norman Johnson and Craig Albertson argue that "innovations often arise from unlikely sources" and "reducing our ability to creatively examine unique biological phenomena will ultimately harm not only education and health but also the ability to innovate, a major driver of the global economy.".

The MAMBE curriculum is founded on the idea that interdisciplinary thinking enhances in-depth understanding of biological phenomena. For example, the complexity that are characteristic for many molecular processes can often only be understood by taking into account their evolutionary origin. Similarly, the evolution of particular trait functions may also often depend on the underlying molecular mechanisms. MAMBE will foster such interdisciplinary connections. In the first two semesters, you will learn about the basic mechanisms and processes of molecules and evolution. Additionally, you will enhance your skill set in scientific communication and management (e.g., preparation of seminar talks, or writing of grant applications, etc). During the third semester, the acquired competences will be applied to real research life in the laboratory and field. The fourth semester will consist of your Master thesis.. ...

Click here to receive the Jeff Zeig show guide! Stages of Love: Love is a biological phenomenon that has three different stages, each with their own neurobiology. The first is the Stage of Attraction; this is when we discover someone who we feel drawn to. The next is the Stage of Attachment; this is a stage of luminance, which is marked with high sexual activity, an intense desire to find similarities, and a sense that you cannot get enough of each other. This stage then evolves into the Bonding stage in which we choose our partner as our mate. At this stage the neurochemicals secreted naturally drive down sexual desire. This decrease in dopamine rich sexual activity can become a crisis for couples who do not understand that there is a biological context influencing this change and instead create stories of lost connection or attraction.. Shakespeare was right- love is blind. In the luminance stage we are nearly incapable of seeing our partner for who they truly are. In fact, we see them through ...

Author Summary Coevolution between hosts and parasites is believed to be central to a number of biological phenomena, most notably the observed patterns of biodiversity and the origins of sexual reproduction. However, classical mathematical models of host-parasite coevolution account neither for the hosts use of bacterial symbionts for protection from parasites, nor for the potential and observed complexity of genetic interactions between the coevolving species. In this article we address both challenges by simulating a large number of models of host-symbiont-parasite coevolution based on randomly generated genotype interaction patterns. We demonstrate that the degree of

Colorectal tumors originate and develop within intestinal crypts. Even though some of the essential phenomena that characterize crypt structure and dynamics have been effectively described in the past, the relation between the differentiation process and the overall crypt homeostasis is still partially understood. We here investigate this relation and other important biological phenomena by introducing a novel multiscale model that combines a morphological description of the crypt with a gene regulation model: the emergent dynamical behavior of the underlying gene regulatory network drives cell growth and differentiation processes, linking the two distinct spatio-temporal levels. The model relies on a few a priori assumptions, yet accounting for several key processes related to crypt functioning, such as: dynamic gene activation patterns, stochastic differentiation, signaling pathways ruling cell adhesion properties, cell displacement, cell growth, mitosis, apoptosis and the presence of ...

Its easy to brush Qi under the table as laughable prescientific vitalism, but one should keep it firmly in mind that this concept is actually one of the things that tends to attract people to alternative views. As its used in TCM, it is totally vitalism: I grant that without the slightest reservation or hesitation. But, there is an empirical phenomenon here that you shouldnt overlook, which has a very strong amount of sway on people. I know that statement will sound immediately woo-y, but please allow me to elaborate.. Qi comes out of a culture that made a series of observations about biological phenomena but lacked any sort of framework of names to grant to those observations or to explain how those observations related to one another. There was no theory of cells, no notion of hormones and certainly no practical concept of nerves or any microscopic structures, but they did have observations about their bodies that they needed to some catch-all term to identify. In China, you have Taoist and ...

Biological phenomena are so complex that they can be logically explained only in the light of evolution. Evolution therefore has to be brought into picture while studying any aspect of zoology, namely, anatomy, embryology, cytology or physiology. The fact that animals and plants change and do not remain static during the course of time is the backbone of evolutionary reasoning. Dobzhanskys view that nothing makes sense in biology except in the light of evolution outlines the importance of this branch of science. The word evolution simply means a change with time, and organic evolution means change in plants and animals from generation to generation, which Darwin called, "descent with modification".. Evolution is the outcome of interaction of organisms with their environment. As animals try to adapt to the changing environment, adaptive structures arise by gradual change in the existing organs, which over a period of time accumulate to form large anatomical changes that we call marvels of ...

The electrical double layer (EDL) is formed due to the accumulation of charge at the interface of a metal surface in contact with an electrolyte. The total charge in the EDL compensates the charge on the metal surface. As EDL is the layer that "connects" the electrode to the "bulk", all electrode mediated transport and redox reaction depends on the structure and dynamics of the ions in the EDL. Thus the ion dynamics in the EDL are critical to a wide range of physical and biological phenomena such as electrochemical reaction, flow in channels of nanofluidic devices, wetting of fluids; to biology, for example, folding and function of proteins, conformation change of DNA and ionic flow through cell membranes. EDL polarization is the ion accumulation or depletion in the EDL due to the potential of the metal surface. The conventional method of measuring the EDL polarization is by monitoring the current flowing through the electrochemical system. Thus, the electrical characteristics of the EDL are ...

Kathrin Stavenhagen: Glycopeptide analysis remains challenging because of its sample heterogeneity resulting from the degree of glycosylation site occupancy (macroheterogeneity) and the different glycoforms attached to individual glycosylation sites (microheterogeneity).. With respect to the latter one, qualitative site-specific glycosylation information of glycoproteins can be obtained by unspecific protease treatment resulting in small amino acid stretches carrying the glycan. This improves determination of the glycosylation sites. However, detecting these glycopeptides by 1D-LC-ESI-MS/MS is challenging due to insufficient or irreversible retention on the stationary phase and thus multiple analyses with different LC-setups are required. Since biological sample amounts are usually limited, methods for acquiring comprehensive information in a single run are necessary.. To obtain qualitative information of the glycosylation site we set up an integrated C18-porous graphitized carbon ...

Wind speed forecasting plays a key role in wind-related engineering studies and is important in the management of wind farms. Current forecasting models based on different optimization algorithms can be adapted to various wind speed time series data. However, these methodologies cannot aggregate different hybrid forecasting methods and take advantage of the component models. To avoid these limitations, we propose a novel combined forecasting model called SSA-PSO-DWCM, i.e., particle swarm optimization (PSO) determined weight coefficients model. This model consisted of three main steps: one is the decomposition of the original wind speed signals to discard the noise, the second is the parameter optimization of the forecasting method, and the last is the combination of different models in a nonlinear way. The proposed combined model is examined by forecasting the wind speed (10-min intervals) of wind turbine 5 located in the Penglai region of China. The simulations reveal that the proposed combined model
