Chemotaxis: moving forward and holding on to the past.

چکیده
The ability of cells to sense external chemical cues and respond by directionally migrating towards them is a fundamental process called chemotaxis. This phenomenon is essential for many biological responses in the human body, including the invasion of neutrophils to sites of inflammation. Remarkably, many of the molecular mechanisms involved in controlling neutrophils chemotaxis arose millions of years ago in the simple eukaryotic organism Dictyostelium discoideum. Both neutrophils and Dictyostelium use G protein-coupled signaling cascades to mediate chemotactic responses, which are responsible for transducing external cues into highly organized cytoskeletal rearrangements that ultimately lead to directed migration. By using the genetically and biochemically tractable organism Dictyostelium as a model system, it has been possible to decipher many of the signal transduction events that are involved in chemotaxis.

Signal Prediction by Layered Feed - Forward Neural Network (RESEARCH NOTE).
In this paper a nonparametric neural network (NN) technique for prediction of future values of a signal based on its past history is presented. This approach bypasses modeling, identification, and parameter estimation phases that are required by conventional parametric techniques. A multi-layer feed forward NN is employed. It develops an internal model of the signal through a training operation...

Heat generation and radiation effects on steady MHD free convection flow of micropolar fluid past a moving surface
This paper was concerned with studying the magnetohydrodynamic steady laminar free convection flow of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving surface in the presence of heat generation and thermal radiation. Similarity transformation was employed to transform the governing partial differential equations into ordinary ones, which were then solved numerically using the finite element method...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Flow Past Oscillating Airfoil Using Oscillation of Flow Boundary Condition
The present study is devoted to an approximate modeling for numerical simulation of flows past oscillating airfoils. In this study, it is shown that the harmonic oscillating objects can be studied by simple numerical codes that are not able to solve moving grids. Instead of using moving grid for the simulation of flowfield around an oscillating airfoil, this unsteady flow is solved on a fixed g...
