Decoys have a crucial role in the electronic countermeasure and deception concepts, many works developments been realized over past few decades. The most impressive one is miniature air-launched decoy (MALD)s. They are used to give impression of an attack enemy airspace by imitating fighters' radar signatures flight profiles. However, they resemble emission fighters; their detection probabiliti...

Regulatory networks play a central role in the relationship between genotype and phenotype in all organisms. However, the mechanisms that underpin the evolutionary plasticity of these networks remain poorly understood. Here, we used experimental selection for enhanced bacterial motility in a porous environment to explore the adaptability of one of the most complex networks known in bacteria. We...

A better understanding of human metabolism and its relationship with diseases is an important task in human systems biology studies. In this paper, we present a high-quality human metabolic network manually reconstructed by integrating genome annotation information from different databases and metabolic reaction information from literature. The network contains nearly 3000 metabolic reactions, ...

Unraveling the structure of complex biological networks and relating it to their functional role is an important task in systems biology. Here we attempt to characterize the functional organization of the large-scale metabolic networks of three microorganisms. We apply flux balance analysis to study the optimal growth states of these organisms in different environments. By investigating the dif...

Ahstract In this paper it is assumed that the point (or block) Jacobi manix. B associated with the matrix A is weakly 2-cyclic consistently ordered with complex, in general, eigen-value spectrum, a(B), lying in the interior of the infinite unit strip. It is then our objec~ live to apply and ex.tend the Young-Eidson algorithm in order to determine the real optimum relaxation factor in the follow...

Synthetic gene circuits often require extensive mutual optimization of their components for successful operation, while modular and programmable design platforms are rare. A possible solution lies in the 'bow-tie' architecture, which stipulates a focal component-a 'knot'-uncoupling circuits' inputs and outputs, simplifying component swapping, and introducing additional layer of control. Here we...
