Spiking neural P systems with anti-spikes and without annihilating priority as number acceptors

Spiking neural P systems with anti-spikes （ASN P systems） are variant forms of spiking neural P systems, which are inspired by inhibitory impulses/spikes or inhibitory synapses. The typical feature of ASN P systems is when a neuron contains both spikes and anti-spikes, spikes and anti-spikes wil immediately annihilate each other in a maximal way. In this paper, a restricted variant of ASN P systems, cal ed ASN P systems without anni-hilating priority, is considered, where the annihilating rule is used as the standard rule, i.e., it is not obligatory to use in the neuron associated with both spikes and anti-spikes. If the annihilating rule is used in a neuron, the annihilation wil consume one time unit. As a result, such systems using two categories of spiking rules （identified by （a, a） and （a,a^-）） can achieve Turing completeness as number accepting devices.     

Molecular mechanisms of phagocytic uptake in mammalian cells

Phagocytosis is a highly conserved, complex process that has evolved to counter the constant threat posed by pathogens, effete cells and debris. Classically defined as a mechanism for internalising and destroying particles greater than 0.5 mum in size, it is a receptor-mediated, actin-driven process. The best-studied phagocytic receptors are the opsono-receptors, FcgammaR and CR3. Phagocytic uptake involves actin dynamics including polymerisation, bundling, contraction, severing and depolymerisation of actin filaments. Recent evidence points to the importance of membrane remodelling during phagocytosis, both in terms of changes in lipid composition and delivery of new membrane to the sites of particle binding. Here we review the molecular mechanisms of phagocytic uptake and some of the strategies developed by microbial pathogens to manipulate this process.     

代谢综合征药物高通量筛选模型的建立

线粒体对于真核细胞至关重要, 除了为细胞提供能量, 还参与细胞信号转导、分化与生长、凋亡等生命过程. 许多疾病的发生与线粒体功能失常密切相关, 包括神经退行性疾病、糖尿病、肥胖、肿瘤等. 由于线粒体膜电位是反映细胞功能状态的重要指针, 因此选用了代谢性细胞L6大鼠肌管细胞建立了一种快速且高效地分析线粒体膜电位的高通量筛选模型. 通过对线粒体染料JC-1浓度及孵育时间、待筛选化合物孵育时间、阳性化合物CCCP(carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone) 浓度等实验条件的优化, 确立了筛选条件, 并对鱼藤酮、丙二酸、抗霉素A、寡霉素和黄连素(berberine)等线粒体抑制剂进行验证, 证实该筛选体系的可靠性. 以10 μmol L^-1 CCCP作为阳性对照, 筛选体系的整体CV值(变异系数)为5.92%, Z'因子为0.575, 符合高通量筛选的要求. L6肌管细胞线粒体膜电位高通量筛选模型的建立, 将为发现治疗代谢综合征的新药先导化合物提供更多机会.

Modeling and Experimental Study of PEM Fuel Cell Transient Response for Automotive Applications

This paper presents an analysis of the dynamic response of a low pressure proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack to step changes in load, which are characteristic of automotive fuel cell system applications. The goal is a better understanding of the electrical and electrochemical processes when accounting for the characteristic cell voltage response during transients. The analysis and experiment are based on a low pressure 5 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack, which is similar to those used in several of Tsinghua's fuel cell buses. The experimental results provide an effective improvement reference for the power train control scheme of the fuel cell buses in Olympic demonstration in Beijing 2008.
