Project description:The stability of a complex system generally decreases with increasing system size and interconnectivity, a counterintuitive result of widespread importance across the physical, life, and social sciences. Despite recent interest in the relationship between system properties and stability, the effect of variation in response rate across system components remains unconsidered. Here I vary the component response rates (?) of randomly generated complex systems. I use numerical simulations to show that when component response rates vary, the potential for system stability increases. These results are robust to common network structures, including small-world and scale-free networks, and cascade food webs. Variation in ? is especially important for stability in highly complex systems, in which the probability of stability would otherwise be negligible. At such extremes of simulated system complexity, the largest stable complex systems would be unstable if not for variation in ?. My results therefore reveal a previously unconsidered aspect of system stability that is likely to be pervasive across all realistic complex systems.

Project description:This is the first time for studying the issue of finite-time H∞ synchronization control for the coronary artery chaos system (CACS) with input and state time-varying delays. Feedback control is planned for finite-time of synchronization CACS. By constructing the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is derived for finite-time stability criteria of CACS with interval and continuous differential time-varying delays. We use Wirtinger-based integral inequality to evaluate the upper bound of the time derivative of the LKF. We apply the single integral form and the double integral form of the integral inequality, according to Wirtinger-based integral inequality, to ensure that the feedback controller for synchronization has good performance with disturbance and time-varying delay. The new sufficient finite-time stability conditions have appeared in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Numerical checks can be performed using the LMI toolbox in MATLAB. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the success of the proposed methods. This resultant is less conservative than the resultants available in the previous works.

Project description:BackgroundMathematical modeling has been applied to the study and analysis of complex biological systems for a long time. Some processes in biological systems, such as the gene expression and feedback control in signal transduction networks, involve a time delay. These systems are represented as delay differential equation (DDE) models. Numerical sensitivity analysis of a DDE model by the direct method requires the solutions of model and sensitivity equations with time-delays. The major effort is the computation of Jacobian matrix when computing the solution of sensitivity equations. The computation of partial derivatives of complex equations either by the analytic method or by symbolic manipulation is time consuming, inconvenient, and prone to introduce human errors. To address this problem, an automatic approach to obtain the derivatives of complex functions efficiently and accurately is necessary.ResultsWe have proposed an efficient algorithm with an adaptive step size control to compute the solution and dynamic sensitivities of biological systems described by ordinal differential equations (ODEs). The adaptive direct-decoupled algorithm is extended to solve the solution and dynamic sensitivities of time-delay systems describing by DDEs. To save the human effort and avoid the human errors in the computation of partial derivatives, an automatic differentiation technique is embedded in the extended algorithm to evaluate the Jacobian matrix. The extended algorithm is implemented and applied to two realistic models with time-delays: the cardiovascular control system and the TNF-? signal transduction network. The results show that the extended algorithm is a good tool for dynamic sensitivity analysis on DDE models with less user intervention.ConclusionsBy comparing with direct-coupled methods in theory, the extended algorithm is efficient, accurate, and easy to use for end users without programming background to do dynamic sensitivity analysis on complex biological systems with time-delays.

Project description:BackgroundThe Red Queen Hypothesis (RQH) suggests that the coevolutionary dynamics of host-parasite systems can generate selection for increased host recombination. Since host-parasite interactions often have a strong genetic basis, recombination between different hosts can increase the fraction of novel and potentially resistant offspring genotypes. A prerequisite for this mechanism is that host-parasite interactions generate persistent oscillations of linkage disequilibria (LD).ResultsWe use deterministic and stochastic models to investigate the persistence of LD oscillations and its impact on the RQH. The standard models of the Red Queen dynamics exhibit persistent LD oscillations under most circumstances. Here, we show that altering the standard model from discrete to continuous time or from simultaneous to sequential updating results in damped LD oscillations. This suggests that LD oscillations are structurally not robust. We then show that in a stochastic regime, drift can counteract this dampening and maintain the oscillations. In addition, we show that the amplitude of the oscillations and therefore the strength of the resulting selection for or against recombination are inversely proportional to the size of the (host) population.ConclusionWe find that host parasite-interactions cannot generally maintain oscillations in the absence of drift. As a consequence, the RQH can strongly depend on population size and should therefore not be interpreted as a purely deterministic hypothesis.

Project description:Alar rim retraction is the most common unintended consequence of tissue remodeling that results from overresection of the cephalic lateral crural cartilage; however, the complex tissue remodeling process that produces this shape change is not well understood.To simulate how resection of cephalic trim alters the stress distribution within the human nose in response to tip depression (palpation) and to simulate the internal forces generated after cephalic trim that may lead to alar rim retraction cephalically and upward rotation of the nasal tip.A multicomponent finite element model was derived from maxillofacial computed tomography with 1-mm axial resolution. The 3-dimensional editing function in the medical imaging software was used to trim the cephalic portion of the lower lateral cartilage to emulate that performed in typical rhinoplasty. Three models were created: a control, a conservative trim, and an aggressive trim. Each simulated model was imported to a software program that performs mechanical simulations, and material properties were assigned. First, nasal tip depression (palpation) was simulated, and the resulting stress distribution was calculated for each model. Second, long-term tissue migration was simulated on conservative and aggressive trim models by placing normal and shear force vectors along the caudal and cephalic borders of the tissue defect.The von Mises stress distribution created by a 5-mm tip depression revealed consistent findings among all 3 simulations, with regions of high stress being concentrated to the medial portion of the intermediate crus and the caudal septum. Nasal tip reaction force marginally decreased as more lower lateral cartilage tissue was resected. Conservative and aggressive cephalic trim models produced some degree of alar rim retraction and tip rotation, which increased with the magnitude of the force applied to the region of the tissue defect.Cephalic trim was performed on a computerized composite model of the human nose to simulate conservative and aggressive trims. Internal forces were applied to each model to emulate the tissue migration that results from decades of wound healing. Our simulations reveal that the degree of tip rotation and alar rim retraction is dependent on the amount of cartilage that was resected owing to cephalic trim. Tip reaction force is marginally reduced with increasing tissue volume resection.NA.

Project description:The finite-time stabilization and finite-time H∞ control problems of Port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) systems with disturbances and input saturation (IS) are studied in this paper. First, by designing an appropriate output feedback, a strictly dissipative PCH system is obtained and finite-time stabilization result for nominal system is given. Second, with the help of the Hamilton function method and truncation inequality technique, a novel output feedback controller is developed to make the PCH system finite-time stable when IS occurs. Further, a finite-time H∞ controller is designed to attenuate disturbances for PCH systems with IS, and sufficient conditions are presented. Finally, a numerical example and a circuit example are given to reveal the feasibility of the obtained theoretical results.

Project description:Using artificially synthesized stimuli, previous research has shown that cotton-top tamarin monkeys easily learn simple AB grammar sequences, but not the more complex AnBn sequences that require hierarchical structure. Humans have no trouble learning AnBn combinations. A more recent study, using similar artificially created stimuli, showed that there is a neuroanatomical difference in the brain between these two kinds of arrays. While the simpler AB sequences recruit the frontal operculum, the AnBn array recruits the phylogenetically newer Broca's area. We propose that on close inspection, reported vocal repertoires of Old World Monkeys show that these nonhuman primates are capable of calls that have two items in them, but never more than two. These are simple AB sequences, as predicted by previous research. In addition, we suggest the two-item call cannot be the result of a combinatorial operation that we see in human language, where the recursive operation of Merge allows for a potentially infinite array of structures. In our view, the two-item calls of nonhuman primates result from a dual-compartment frame into which each of the calls can fit without having to be combined by an operation such as Merge.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary stability of the femoral stem is important for the long-term results of cementless total hip arthroplasty. Cementless collared stems have been known to have higher stability than collarless stems when there is a contact between the collar and the calcar. The purpose of this study was to compare the stabilities of collared stem and collarless stem in 2 loading conditions: 1) flat walking and 2) stair climbing.MethodsWe constructed 3 finite element models. In the first model, the collar had contact with the calcar. The second model had a 1 mm gap between the calcar and the collar. The third model was constructed with a collarless stem. The proximal femur around the stem was divided into 3 zones: the upper zone (Gruen zones 1 and 7), the middle zone (Gruen zones 2 and 6), and the lower zone (Gruen zones 3 and 5). The micromotion at the stem/bone interface was measured at each zone of the 3 models under the 2 loading conditions.ResultsThe results showed that collared stems were more stable when the collar was in contact with the calcar than when a gap was left between the collar and the calcar. In particular, collar contact was highly effective in suppressing the micromotion proximal to the stem.ConclusionsCompared to the collarless stem, the collared stem had comparable stability when there was a gap at the collar and calcar interface and higher stability when there was contact between the collar and the calcar.

Project description:The doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) with virtual inertia control and reactive damping control gives a renewable energy generation system inertia and damping characteristics similar to those of a thermal power plant, and the parameters of the control strategy have a direct impact on the small-signal stability of the system. This paper firstly introduces the operating characteristics and control strategies of DFIG-based damping control and virtual inertia control, establishes a small-signal model of the control-based DFIG integrated interconnected system, and investigates the effects of virtual inertia and reactive damping values on the small-signal stability of the system; then, the maximum damping ratio of the interval oscillation mode in small disturbance analysis is taken as the optimization objective, and the control parameters are the optimization variables. An optimization method of inertia and damping parameters is established for improving the small disturbance stability of the system. The results show that the optimization procedure could improve the damping ratio of the interval oscillation mode while ensuring the system frequency. The effects of virtual inertia and reactive damping values on the small signal stability of the system are investigated, and an optimal allocation model and method for virtual inertia used to improve the small disturbance stability of the system is proposed.
