Summary
Inhibitory couplings in one layer of multiplex networks can trigger explosive synchronization across other layers. This phenomenon is controllable by inter-layer coupling strengths and multiplexing, highlighting multiplexing
Area of Science:
- Complex Systems Science
- Network Science
- Dynamical Systems Theory
Background:
- Inhibitory couplings are fundamental to complex systems.
- Previous work showed inhibition in one layer can cause explosive synchronization in another in duplex networks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the effect of inhibition in a single layer of multiplex networks on synchronization transitions.
- To explore how inhibition acts as a catalyst for explosive synchronization in other layers.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing a multiplex network model of coupled Kuramoto oscillators.
- Analyzing the influence of intra-layer coupling and multiplexing strengths on synchronization dynamics.
Main Results:
- Inhibition in one layer can indeed catalyze explosive synchronization transitions in other layers of a multiplex network.
- The characteristics of these transitions are controllable via intra-layer coupling and multiplexing strengths.
Conclusions:
- Inhibitory couplings play a critical role in controlling synchronization phenomena in multilayer systems.
- Multiplexing is a key factor in understanding and manipulating synchronization behavior in complex networks with inhibitory elements.

12.9K
When a ligand binds to a cell-surface receptor, the receptor's intracellular domain changes shape, which may either activate its enzyme function or allow its binding to other molecules. The initial signal is amplified by most signal transduction pathways. This means that a single ligand molecule can activate multiple molecules of a downstream target. Proteins that relay a signal are most commonly phosphorylated at one or more sites, activating or inactivating the protein. Kinases catalyze...

Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.

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.

01:23Propagation of Action Potentials
7.3K
The propagation of an action potential refers to the process by which a nerve impulse, or "action potential," travels along a neuron.
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...

Frequency response analysis in electrical circuits provides vital insights into a circuit's behavior as the frequency of the input signal changes. The transfer function, a mathematical tool, is instrumental in understanding this behavior. It defines the relationship between phasor output and input and comes in four types: voltage gain, current gain, transfer impedance, and transfer admittance. The critical components of the transfer function are the poles and zeros.
