Protein Networks

Protein Networks

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,...

Neural Circuits

Neural Circuits

Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Signal and System

Signal and System

A signal x(t) is a set of data or a time function representing a variable of interest. Signals typically convey information about a phenomenon, such as atmospheric temperature, humidity, human voice, television images, a dog's bark, or birdsongs. More generally, a signal can be a function of more than one independent variable. For instance, images depend on horizontal and vertical positions and can be regarded as two-dimensional signals. However, this text will focus on one-dimensional...

Circuit Terminology

Circuit Terminology

An electrical network is a system composed of interconnected elements, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and voltage or current sources. Unlike a circuit, an electrical network does not necessarily form a closed path. In other words, while all circuits can be considered networks due to their interconnected nature, not every network qualifies as a circuit.
A circuit, on the other hand, is also an interconnected system of electrical elements but must contain one or more closed paths.

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

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...

Neuronal Communication

Neuronal Communication

Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, communicate through complex electrochemical signals that underpin all cognitive and bodily functions. This communication is primarily facilitated by a process involving the generation and propagation of an action potential along the axon of the neuron. When the internal electrical charge of a neuron surpasses a certain threshold, an action potential is triggered. This rapid change in voltage travels swiftly along the axon to the...

Background:

Knowledge processing exhibits patterns observable in biological neuron activity and artificial neural networks.
Existing research often focuses on domain-specific knowledge, leaving cross-domain structures unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the existence of an underlying, cross-domain structure for knowledge processing.
To compare knowledge processing patterns in natural systems (e.g., animal connectomes) and artificial systems (e.g., artificial neural networks).

Main Methods:

Analysis of neuron circuitry in nature-based systems, specifically animal connectomes.
Examination of human-generated knowledge processing systems, including artificial neural networks and research topic knowledge networks.
Observation and comparison of system patterns over time and across different complexities.

Main Results:

Common data processing patterns were identified in both biological and artificial knowledge-based systems.
Examples of human-generated systems like artificial neural networks and knowledge networks demonstrate these shared processing mechanisms.
System patterns were analyzed in relation to their complexity and changes over time.

Conclusions:

The prevalence of similar processing mechanisms across diverse domains suggests a potentially universal framework for knowledge processing.
The findings prompt further inquiry into the uniqueness of human knowledge processing in light of these commonalities.
