20 For our final assignment, we were given a lot of freedom to choose our own topics. We were asked to analyze a debate over a controversial topic in medicine and provide a commentary on the debate and how it reflects our values as a society. In my initial search for topics, I ran into the topic of chimeras, which immediately sparked my interest. From my background research, it became clear tha...

We take a complex systems approach to investigating experimentally the collective dynamics of network four self-excited thermoacoustic oscillators coupled in ring. Using synchronization metrics, we find wide variety emergent multi-scale behaviour, such as (i) transition from intermittent frequency locking on $\mathbb {T}^{3}$ quasiperiodic attractor breathing chimera, (ii) two-cluster state ant...

We consider chimera states of coupled identical phase oscillators where some are synchronized (have the same phase) while others desynchronized. Chimera non-locally Kuramoto–Sakaguchi in arrays finite size known to be chaotic transients; after a transient time, all synchronized, with time increasing exponentially number oscillators. In this work, we small array six and modify range lag paramete...

The hydrophilic fragment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli as a chimera, bound to the choline-binding domain (C-Lyt) of the major autolysin of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The C-LytE2 chimera was purified by affinity chromatography using DEAE-Sepharose. The purified antigen was used to immunize rabbits and the specific humoral immune response to E2 protein was...

The Chimera Methodology is a new software engineering paradigm which addresses the problem of developing dynamically reconfigurable and reusable real-time software. The foundation of the Chimera methodology is the port-based object model of a reusable software component. The model is obtained by applying the port-automaton formal computational model to object-based design. Global state variable...
