Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines01:24

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

515
A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
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,...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

7.7K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

14.1K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions01:58

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

9.3K
Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Area of Science:

  • Complex systems
  • Network science
  • Nonlinear dynamics

Background:

  • Synchronization is crucial in many natural and engineered systems.
  • Previous theories focused on undirected networks, limiting applications to directed systems.
  • Understanding directed network synchronization is key for complex systems analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Extend synchronization optimization theory to directed networks.
  • Develop a quantitative measure for synchronization in directed networks.
  • Investigate how network structure and oscillator properties influence synchronization.

Main Methods:

  • Derived a generalized synchrony alignment function.
  • Applied this function to systematically optimize network synchronization.
  • Analyzed properties of synchrony-optimized directed networks.

Main Results:

  • Synchronization can be systematically optimized in directed networks.
  • Optimal networks show a match between frequency heterogeneity and in-degree heterogeneity.
  • Strong correlation between in-degrees and natural frequencies promotes synchronization.

Conclusions:

  • The generalized synchrony alignment function effectively measures and optimizes synchronization.
  • Directed network structure, particularly in-degrees, plays a critical role in synchronization.
  • Optimized synchronization relies on aligning oscillator properties with specific network structural features.
