Influence of the Impulse Length in Poincare-based Chaos Control

A new stability analysis of the two elementary Poincaré-based chaos control schemes, OGY and difference control, is given by means of Floquet theory. This approach allows to calculate exactly the stability restrictions occuring for small measurement delays and for an impulse length shorter than the length of the orbit. This is of practical experimental relevance; to avoid a selection of the rel...

Multi-phasic bi-directional chemotactic responses of the growth cone

The nerve growth cone is bi-directionally attracted and repelled by the same cue molecules depending on the situations, while other non-neural chemotactic cells usually show uni-directional attraction or repulsion toward their specific cue molecules. However, how the growth cone differs from other non-neural cells remains unclear. Toward this question, we developed a theory for describing chemo...

Bi-directional trafficking

The trans-Golgi network (TGN) is the major sorting station of the biosynthetic pathway, in which newly synthesized soluble and transmembrane proteins, as well as lipids, are sorted for subsequent transport to different destinations: the cell surface (apical and basolateral in polarized cells), secretory granules in endocrine cells, or the endosomal system. Several transmembrane proteins have be...

Bi-directional hepatic hydrothorax

A 59-year-old male with alcoholic cirrhosis presented to our hospital with an acutely painful umbilical hernia, and 4 mo of exertional dyspnea. He was noted to be tachypneic and hypoxic. He had a massive right sided pleural effusion with leftward mediastinal shift and gross ascites, with a tense, fluid-filled, umbilical hernia. Emergent paracentesis with drain placement and a large volume thora...
