Entropy within the Cell01:22

Entropy within the Cell

13.9K
A living cell's primary tasks of obtaining, transforming, and using energy to do work may seem simple. However, the second law of thermodynamics explains why these tasks are harder than they appear. None of the energy transfers in the universe are completely efficient. In every energy transfer, some amount of energy is lost in a form that is unusable. In most cases, this form is heat energy. Thermodynamically, heat energy is defined as the energy transferred from one system to another that...

Diversity of Protists IV01:27

Diversity of Protists IV

2.0K
Amoebozoa represent a diverse group of terrestrial and aquatic protists that utilize lobe-shaped pseudopodia for locomotion and feeding. This characteristic differentiates them from the Rhizaria, which possess threadlike pseudopodia. The primary classifications within Amoebozoa include gymnamoebas, entamoebas, and the plasmodial and cellular slime molds. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that Amoebozoa diverged from a lineage that ultimately gave rise to fungi and animals.Gymnamoebas and...

Mechanistic Models: Overview of Compartment Models

468
Mechanistic models, a category encompassing both physiological and compartmental modeling, differ from empirical models' approaches to incorporating known factors about the systems being modeled. Empirical models describe data with minimal assumptions, while mechanistic models aim to provide a robust description of available data by specifying assumptions and integrating known factors about the system. Compartmental analysis is a key example of a mechanistic model in pharmacokinetics and...

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems01:19

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems

3.6K
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...

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems01:24

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems

1.1K
System stability is a fundamental concept in signal processing, often assessed using convolution. For a system to be considered bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stable, any bounded input signal must produce a bounded output signal. A bounded input signal is one where the modulus does not exceed a certain constant at any point in time.
To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system....

Classification of Systems-II01:31

Classification of Systems-II

548
Continuous-time systems have continuous input and output signals, with time measured continuously. These systems are generally defined by differential or algebraic equations. For instance, in an RC circuit, the relationship between input and output voltage is expressed through a differential equation derived from Ohm's law and the capacitor relation,

Summary

Transient Induced Global Response Synchronization (TIGoRS) is a weaker form of synchronization observed in complex systems. This study introduces dispositional cellular automata and a new metric, excess synchronization, revealing nonlinear responses to environmental transients.

Area of Science:

  • Complex Systems Science
  • Theoretical Physics
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Synchronization traditionally implies phase matching of identical oscillators.
  • Human behavior, unlike physiological systems, is recurrent but not oscillatory.
  • Existing synchronization models struggle to capture cooperative, distinct yet contemporaneous behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the concept of Transient Induced Global Response Synchronization (TIGoRS) in complex systems.
  • To introduce a new model (dispositional cellular automaton) and metric (excess synchronization).
  • To analyze TIGoRS in the context of emergent linguistic structures (Sulis machines).

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing complex systems models (tempered neural networks, cellular automata, cocktail party automata).
  • Introduction and analysis of the dispositional cellular automaton model.
  • Development and application of the excess synchronization metric.

Main Results:

  • TIGoRS is a ubiquitous phenomenon enabling systems to process environmental changes.
  • Dispositional cellular automata exhibit nonlinear synchronization responses to specific transients.
  • The study demonstrates TIGoRS's role in emergent linguistic structures.

Conclusions:

  • TIGoRS provides a framework for understanding cooperative behaviors in complex systems.
  • Dispositional cellular automata offer a novel approach to studying synchronization dynamics.
  • The findings have implications for understanding information processing and emergent communication.
