The new method has been developed for the general description of the kinetics of several reactions, taking into account their mutual influence on each other. Practical examples and model calculations for several reactions with varying the degrees of influence on each other are considered. The calculations performed for the several reactions allowed us to evaluate their mutual influence on the change in the reaction rate, as well as on the change in the reaction reagents concentration over time.

For the initial deterministic model, we overview the variety of dynamic regimes and their transformations depending on the growth rate and intensity of immigration. For the stochastic model that takes into account random fluctuations in immigration intensity, probabilistic mechanisms for transforming order into chaos are identified and the key role of chaotic transients is revealed.

The growth and structure of colloidal silica gels has been investigated using RheoSAXS to study the effect of silica concentration, NaCl concentration, temperature and shear rate. Additionally, SAXS in combination with a strong magnetic field has been applied to investigate the effect of magnetic microparticles and magnetic field on the development of the gel structure. Results indicate that the strongest effect on the gel kinetics are achieved by altering the activator concentration, here in the form of NaCl, followed by silica concentration and temperature. Small structural effects were also observed, with larger cluster sizes being produced at lower silica concentration and at higher NaCl concentration. Applying shear caused major changes both in structure as well as the macroscopic behavior of the silica, preventing the gel from reaching an arrested state, instead forming a viscous liquid. Applying a magnetic field appears to suppress the formation of larger clusters.

Traditional toxicity prediction methods are not only expensive but also demand significant time and effort. In response to these challenges, we focus on computational models to identify potential pulmonary toxicants early in the drug development process. Early identification of toxicity not only enhances the safety and efficiency of drugs and chemicals but also helps prevent late-stage drug withdrawals. In this study, we compared various sets of molecular descriptors and fingerprints using Mordred and RDKit software. We systematically employed feature selection techniques to identify the key molecular and structural features that significantly affect the model’s performance. We then applied a variety of tree-based ensemble machine-learning algorithms to build the proposed model, using a tenfold cross-validation methodology to enhance the model’s ability to predict pulmonary toxicity. We subsequently evaluated the proposed model’s performance using both a test set and a separate external validation set to assess reliability. The proposed optimal tree-ensemble model achieved an accuracy of 85.07% during tenfold cross-validation and 86.88% on the test set. Additionally, we applied the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) approach to gain deeper insights into the crucial molecular features influencing pulmonary toxicity predictions.

A detailed understanding of the transmission mechanism is required for controlling the disease. Based on real needs, we have developed an eight-compartmental mathematical model using a system of fractional-order differential equations to understand the behavior of the disease. The fractional-order model is adopted to discuss the effect of memory in reducing monkeypox infection. The next-generation matrix method determines the basic reproduction number for human beings and beasts, which are <span>(mathscr {R}_0^m)</span> and <span>({mathscr {R}}_0^b)</span>, respectively. Depending on the numerical values of <span>({mathscr {R}}_0^m)</span> and <span>({mathscr {R}}_0^b)</span>, the feasibility and the nature of the equilibrium points are studied. It is found that the system exhibits two transcritical bifurcations; one occurs at <span>({mathscr {R}}_0^b=1)</span> for any value of <span>({mathscr {R}}_0^m)</span>, and the other occurs at <span>({mathscr {R}}_0^m=1)</span> when <span>({mathscr {R}}_0^b<1)</span>. The effectiveness of the parameters has been discussed with the help of global sensitivity analysis. Further, we have investigated the optimal control policies, considering vaccination and treatment as two dynamic control variables. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and the infected averted ratio are determined to assess the cost-effectiveness of all practical control strategies. From the fractional-order optimal control problem, we have experienced that simultaneous use of both treatment and vaccination controls gives better results than using any single control in reducing infected humans.

Our findings reveal that the addition of DMSO above a critical concentration induces significant alterations in the gel phase of the membrane at supercooled temperatures, shifting the gel phase to a fluid phase evident from area per lipid, order parameter, and d-spacing. Notably, an anomalous contraction is observed in bilayers in the presence of DMSO with the same critical concentrations as the temperature is cooled from 300 K. As the concentration of DMSO rises at supercooled temperatures, the interface becomes increasingly populated with DMSO molecules, approaching a two-dimensional percolation threshold. This process leads to an expansion in the area occupied by each lipid molecule, creating free space around the lipid tails. Subsequently, the population of DMSO and water at the hydrophobic core becomes energetically favorable at a supercooled temperature compared to the higher temperature above the critical concentration of DMSO. The higher population of DMSO and water at the interface and at the hydrophobic core increases the disorder and fluidity of the lipids and gradually changes the gel phase toward the fluid phase. Thus, our results provide the molecular mechanism of DMSO-induced fluidity of the membrane at supercooled temperature relevant for cell banking in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":501403,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Special Topics","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
