The progression of cancer in the breast involves multiple reciprocal interactions between malignantly transformed epithelia, surrounding untransformed but affected stromal cells, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) that is remodeled during the process.A quantitative understanding of the relative contribution of such interactions to phenotypes associ

We investigate relationships between scheduling problems with the bottleneck objective functions (minimising makespan or maximal lateness) and problems of optimal colourings of the mixed graphs.The investigated scheduling problems have integer durations of the multi-processor tasks (operations), integer release dates and integer due dates of the gi

In the last years, there has Powerland been a surge in AI-powered products.Often marketed as "free", these services operate as hooks to lure unsuspecting users into voluntarily giving up data about every aspect of their life.Their data is the primary fuel of surveillance capitalism, a new economic system that exclusively benefits so-called Big Tech

A method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for steel strip image segmentation was presented.Considered the traditional markov method is hard to get good effect in global optimization solution, the particle swarm optimization is used to enhance search capacity in the multi-dimensional space and determine the parameters of markov random fiel

Dynamics of excitable cells and networks depend on the membrane time constant, set by membrane resistance and capacitance.Whereas pharmacological and genetic manipulations of ionic conductances of excitable membranes are routine in electrophysiology, experimental control over capacitance remains a challenge.Here, we present capacitance clamp, an ap
