Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.7K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Long-term Potentiation01:35

Long-term Potentiation

59.5K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Random Variables01:09

Random Variables

19.1K
A random variable is a single numerical value that indicates the outcome of a procedure. The concept of random variables is fundamental to the probability theory and was introduced by a Russian mathematician, Pafnuty Chebyshev, in the mid-nineteenth century.
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

704
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Hazard Rate01:11

Hazard Rate

511
The hazard rate, also known as the hazard function or failure rate, is a statistical measure used to describe the instantaneous rate at which an event occurs, given that the event has not yet happened. From a probabilistic perspective, it represents the likelihood that a subject will experience the event in a very small time interval, conditional on surviving up to the beginning of that interval. In terms of frequency, the hazard rate can be viewed as the ratio of the number of events to the...

Area of Science:

  • Network science
  • Complex systems analysis
  • Dynamic systems theory

Background:

  • Estimating critical transition points in complex systems remains a significant challenge.
  • Predicting the timing of catastrophic failures in real-world networks is difficult due to unknown underlying stochastic processes.
  • Cascading failures can lead to total network collapse when active neighbors fall below a critical threshold.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze decaying dynamic networks experiencing persistent failures.
  • To quantify network failure magnitude using the probability of permanent internal failure.
  • To determine the relationship between network lifetime, failure magnitude, and critical thresholds.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a specific class of decaying dynamic networks.
  • Quantification of network failure magnitude.
  • Mathematical modeling of network lifetime as a function of failure probability and critical threshold.

Main Results:

  • Network lifetime is inversely dependent on the magnitude of failure.
  • Network lifetime is logarithmically dependent on the critical threshold.
  • Permanent failures significantly impact network robustness, measurable by network lifetime.

Conclusions:

  • Provides new methodological insights into the dynamics of complex networks.
  • Offers a framework for understanding and potentially predicting network failures.
  • Illustrates the applicability of the network model with examples from biology and social science.
