Coupled Dynamics and Quiescent Phases
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze diffusively coupled dynamical systems, which are constructed from two dynamical systems in continuous time by switching between the two dynamics. If one of the vector fields is zero we call it a quiescent phase. We present a detailed analysis of coupled systems and of systems with quiescent phase and we prove results on scaling limits, singular perturbations, attractors, gradient fields, stability of stationary points and amplitudes of periodic orbits. In particular we show that introducing a quiescent phase is always stabilizing.

Two Dimensional Mathematical Model of Tumor Angiogenesis: Coupling of Avascular Growth and Vascularization
Introduction As a tumor grows, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases and it grows further if acquires the ability to induce angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present a two-dimensional continuous mathematical model for avascular tumor growth, coupled with a discrete model of angiogenesis. Materials and Methods In the avascular growth model, tumor is considered as a single mass, wh...
متن کاملBiological Modeling with Quiescent Phases
Quiescence or dormancy plays an important role in biological systems, from spore formation in bacteria to predator-prey cycles. In a mathematical framework, quiescence is modeled by diffusive coupling of the active dynamics to quiescent phases. Although coupling a given vector field to the zero field may appear simple at first glance, quiescent phases have biologically relevant effects which ca...
متن کاملMultiphase flow and tromp curve simulation of dense medium cyclones using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Dense Medium Cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. It is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in DMCs complex. In this article the flow pattern simulation of DMC is performed with computational fluid dynamics and Fluent...

In this paper, we clarify the applicability of the super operator technique for describing the dissipative quantum dynamics of a system consists of two qubits coupled with a thermal bath at finite temperature. By using super operator technique, we solve the master equation and find the matrix elements of the density operator. Considering the qubits to be initially prepared in a general mixed st...
متن کاملA genetically engineered oncolytic adenovirus decoys and lethally traps quiescent cancer stem-like cells in S/G2/M phases.
PURPOSE Because chemoradiotherapy selectively targets proliferating cancer cells, quiescent cancer stem-like cells are resistant. Mobilization of the cell cycle in quiescent leukemia stem cells sensitizes them to cell death signals. However, it is unclear that mobilization of the cell cycle can eliminate quiescent cancer stem-like cells in solid cancers. Thus, we explored the use of a genetical...
