Abstract Achieving adaptive behavior in artificial systems, analogous to living organisms, has been a long-standing goal in electronics and materials science.Efforts Bookcase to integrate adaptive capabilities into synthetic electronics traditionally involved a typical architecture comprising of sensors, an external controller, and actuators constr
The paper describes and illustrates a simple, robust, yet sufficiently detailed model that ensures quick and accurate enough forecast of trends and their possible effect on the processes related to energy security and, accordingly, global security.The heuristic model also takes into account diversity in the understanding of the energy paradigm.It i
There has been a long history of using neural networks for combinatorial optimization and constraint satisfaction problems.Symmetric Hopfield networks and similar approaches use steepest descent dynamics, and they always converge to the closest local minimum of the energy landscape.For finding global minima additional parameter-sensitive techniques
The genetic alterations observed in head and neck cancer are mainly due to oncogene activation (gain of function mutations) and tumor suppressor gene inactivation (loss of function mutations), leading to deregulation of cell proliferation and death.These genetic alterations include Bookcase gene amplification and overexpression of oncogenes such as
Background: Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is critical in regulating energy metabolism.Due to the significant change in energy metabolism of myocardium upon pressure overload, we hypothesize that UCP2 could contribute to the etiology of cardiac hypertrophy.Methods: Adult male Thongs C57BL/6J mice were subjected to pressure overload by using transverse
