Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems01:19

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems

A thermodynamic system with zero heat exchange and work is an isolated system. For these systems, the internal energy remains constant.
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state. 
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each path...
Deactivation Processes: Jablonski Diagram01:25

Deactivation Processes: Jablonski Diagram

Luminescence, the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed energy, is a process that involves the interaction of molecules with light. The energy-level diagram, or Jablonski diagram, is a graphical representation of these interactions, illustrating the various states and transitions a molecule can undergo. In a typical Jablonski diagram, the lowest horizontal line represents the ground-state energy of the molecule, which is usually a singlet state. This state represents the energies...
Reversible and Irreversible Processes01:14

Reversible and Irreversible Processes

The thermodynamic processes can be classified into reversible and irreversible processes. The processes that can be restored to their initial state are called reversible processes. It is only possible if the process is in quasi-static equilibrium, i.e., it takes place in infinitesimally small steps, and the system remains at equilibrium However, these are ideal processes and do not occur naturally. An ideal system undergoing a reversible process is always in thermodynamic equilibrium within...
Scale-Up Processes01:14

Scale-Up Processes

The scale-up of microbial fermentation processes is essential in industrial biotechnology, allowing the transition from laboratory-scale experiments to commercial-scale production while aiming to maintain product yield and quality. This process requires meticulous adjustment of equipment design, process parameters, and contamination control strategies to accommodate increasing culture volumes.At the laboratory scale, cultures are typically maintained in 1 to 10-liter glass or autoclavable...
Limits to Natural Selection01:38

Limits to Natural Selection

Organisms that are well-adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. However, natural selection does not lead to perfectly adapted organisms. Several factors constrain natural selection.For one, natural selection can only act upon existing genetic variation. Hypothetically, redtusks may enhance elephant survival by deterring ivory-seeking poachers. However, if there are no gene variants—or alleles—for redtusks, natural selection cannot increase the prevalence of...
Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility01:34

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study introduces a cellular automata (CA) model to simulate tissue growth, revealing how stochasticity in domain growth introduces a novel diffusive term in continuum models. This provides insights into both microscopic and macroscopic scales of developmental processes.

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Discrete models like cellular automata (CA) offer frameworks for understanding biological interactions.
  • Existing continuum models often lack the stochasticity inherent in biological growth processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a cellular automata (CA) model incorporating domain growth, cell motility, and proliferation.
  • To derive a continuum representation from the CA model and analyze its properties.
  • To investigate the influence of stochasticity and multi-species interactions on developmental processes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a cellular automata (CA) model based on cellular exclusion processes.
  • Derivation of a continuum representation, including a Fokker-Planck equation.
  • Extension of the model to multiple species and analysis of flux terms.
  • Approximation of averaged CA agent densities using nonlinear advection-diffusion equations.

Main Results:

  • The CA model's domain growth mechanism leads to a Fokker-Planck equation with diffusive and convective terms in the continuum model.
  • A novel diffusive term arises from the stochasticity of the CA domain growth mechanism.
  • Multi-species extensions reveal the influence of exclusion processes on flux terms.
  • Averaged CA agent densities are accurately approximated by nonlinear advection-diffusion equations under specific conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed CA model successfully captures essential aspects of growing tissues and biological mechanisms.
  • The inclusion of stochasticity provides a more comprehensive continuum model than deterministic approaches.
  • This dual modeling approach enhances understanding of biological development across multiple scales.
