We investigate the nonlinear two- and three-point correlation functions of the cosmological density field in Fourier space and test the popular hierarchical clustering model that assumes a scale-independent three-point amplitude Q. In high-resolution N-body simulations of both the n=-2 scale-free model and the cold dark matter model, we find that Q at late times is not constant but increases wi...

We use a neural mass model to address some important issues in characterising functional integration among remote cortical areas using magnetoencephalography or electroencephalography (MEG or EEG). In a previous paper [Neuroimage (in press)], we showed how the coupling among cortical areas can modulate the MEG or EEG spectrum and synchronise oscillatory dynamics. In this work, we exploit the mo...

This article presents a case-study review of synergy concepts of nonlinear blending and dose-reduction profiles. "Strong nonlinear blending" is a novel concept that provides a flexible paradigm for the assessment of combination drug synergy that is applicable to any shaped combination-drug dose-response surface; issues of varying relative potency, partial inhibitors, potentiation, or coalism po...

In the present work, we focus on the cases of two-site (dimer) and three-site (trimer) configurations, i.e. oligomers, respecting the parity-time (PT) symmetry, i.e. with a spatially odd gain-loss profile. We examine different types of solutions of such configurations with linear and nonlinear gain/loss profiles. Solutions beyond the linear PT-symmetry critical point as well as solutions with a...

Motivation: We address the problem of identifying gene transcriptional modules from gene expression data by proposing a new approach. Genes mostly interact with each other to form transcriptional modules for context-specific cellular activities or functions. Unraveling such transcriptional modules is important for understanding biological network, deciphering regulatory mechanisms, and identify...

We investigate the profiles of off-diagonal components of static linear ( xy, yx), first nonlinear ( xyy, yxx), and second nonlinear ( xxyy and yyxx), polarizabilities of repulsive impurity doped quantum dots. The dopant impurity potential is expressed as a Gaussian function. The study thrusts on investigating the role of Gaussian white noise on the polarizability components. The noise has been...

Nonlinear simulation with a simple resistive magnetohydrodynamics model is used to investigate the stabilization of magnetic fluctuations in reversed-field pinch plasmas subject to pulsed-parallel current drive. Numerical results are diagnosed with computations of nonlinear power transfer and by evaluating sequences of profiles for linear stability. Results show that poloidal electric field pul...

The SHAAD model (Adaptable, Adaptive and Dynamic Hypermedia System) allows adapting the web content delivered to the user based on his/her preferences and characteristics, and the features and limitations of the device used to interact with the system. In this work we use CC/PP (Composite Capabilities/Preference Profiles) to describe the characteristics of devices and users’ preferences. Finall...

The Cauchy problem for a nonlinear elastic wave equation with viscoelastic damping terms is considered on the 3 dimensional whole space. Decay and smoothing properties of solutions are investigated when initial data sufficiently small; asymptotic profiles as t→∞ also derived.
