Recent studies have revealed that dynamic neuronal behaviors in the brain are significantly modulated by both astrocytes and magnetic fluctuations. Moreover, the contact of the noisy electromagnetic environment with the biological nerve cells is also inevitable. However, the effects of stochastic electromagnetic fluctuation on signal detection in an astrocyte-dressed neuron have never been studied in detail. In this study, an improved astrocyte-dressed Hodgkin–Huxley neuron model subjected to electromagnetic fluctuation is examined. Sinus-Wiener limited noise is used to model the random structure of the electromagnetic field. Simulation results show that, without considering noisy electromagnetic induction, the optimum value of the electromagnetic feedback gain parameter and the weak signal frequency used optimize the response of the astrocyte-dressed Hodgkin–Huxley neuron to a weak signal. However, when electromagnetic noise is included in the model, it is found that as the electromagnetic noise intensity increases, the signal detection performance of the model decreases significantly compared to the without-noise case. The most interesting result of the study is the demonstration that electromagnetic fluctuations have the power to accelerate slow astrocyte dynamics.

The variable wall temperature is also included in the physical model. The model in PDEs is transformed into a simplified version of differential equations (ODEs) which can be solved using the bvp4c solver. Validation against previously published data confirms the accuracy of the model. Two solutions are possible if the shrinking surface is permeable (with suction effect), while only a unique solution is for the stretching case. Surprisingly, the copper-alumina-titania/water exhibits a lower heat transfer rate but higher skin friction as compared to the copper-alumina/water. Specifically, the heat transfer coefficient decreases by 5-10 % when incorporating the titania nanoparticle, while an increase of 8-12 % for the skin friction coefficient. Additionally, the velocity slip and curvature parameters accelerate the boundary layer separation, whereas increased suction delays this process.

This paper presents a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model for the study of single-phase fluid flow through a microchannel with a two-sided collapsible wall. The model considers the viscoelastic properties of the fluid and incorporates a moving mesh approach to analyze the deformation of the channel walls. Three distinct modes of motion are observed in the elastic walls involving the elastic walls bulge outward, they undergo a mode-2 deformation characterized by two half-wavelengths along the elastic walls, and the walls indent inward towards the channel. Furthermore, the study shows that as the Weissenberg number increased, there is an associated increase in pressure on the central part of the plate, particularly the major portion. This increase in pressure leads to a decrease in the deflection of the plate. Additionally, the results reveals that the thickness of the plate influences the wall deformations. Thicker plates exhibites minimal deformation compared to thinner plates, which display more pronounced deformations. Moreover, an increase in plate thickness results in a gradual upward (downward) movement of the lowest point of the upper wall (the highest point of the down wall), eventually shifting towards the midpoint of the elastic walls.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10340,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Physics","volume":"93 ","pages":"Pages 601-610"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143167973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
