Course 13: Self-organized Criticality in Granular Superconductors
We study the critical state of a one-dimensional granular superconductor (multijunction SQUID with random arrangement of junctions) in an increasing... -
The Endoplasmic Reticulum: A Central Player in Cell Signalling and Protein Synthesis
In addition to being the principle intracellular Ca 2+ store, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the initial site of synthesis and folding of membrane... -
Course 3: Structural Relaxation and Rheology of Soft Condensed Matter
These lectures address the relation between structural dynamics and macroscopic flow behaviour (rheology) in soft condensed matter. After a brief... -
Course 8: Equilibrium States and Dynamics of Equilibration: General Issues and Open Questions
Equilibrium states and the dynamics of equilibration are reviewed with emphasis on general issues and open questions. Macroscopic systems with... -
Global and Local Regulation of Neuronal Differentiation by Calcium Transients
Embryonic spinal neurons express ion channels prior to synaptogenesis that mediate specialized forms of excitability promoting Ca 2+ influx. Ca 2+... -
Role of NAADP in Coordinating Spatiotemporal Aspects of Calcium Signalling
We outline the roles of two low molecular weight phosphorylated compounds as intracellular messengers in calcium signaling. These new intracellular... -
Classes of the Shortest Pathway Structures in Scale Free Networks
We study a problem of data packet transport between a pair of vertices on scale-free network, and introduce load of a vertex as the accumulated sum... -
The Optimal Pathin an Erdős-Rényi Random Graph
We study the optimal distance $\ell_{\mbox{\scriptsize opt}}$ in... -
Information Dynamics in the Networked World
We review three studies of information flow in social networks that help reveal their underlying social structure, how information spreads among them... -
Clustering in Complex Networks
Real, mostly socially rooted networks have the tendency to form the simplest morphological structures observable: triangles, or in other words... -
Boolean Modelingof Genetic Regulatory Networks
Biological systems form complex networks of interaction on several scales, ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem level. On the subcellular... -
Mitochondrial and ER Calcium Uptake and Release Fluxes and their Interplay in Intact Nerve Cells
Ionized free Ca ( Ca 2+) is a ubiquitous signaling ion that serves as the critical link between a variety of physiological stimuli and their... -
Building a Wave – Models of the Puff-to-Wave Transition
Ca2+ release channels open and close randomly because of random binding and dissociation of Ca2+ and IP3 to their subunits. They are arranged in... -
The Tensile Strength of Polymer Fibres
A theory of the tensile strength of oriented polymer fibres is presented. From an analysis of the observed fracture envelope it is shown that the... -
Clarification of Interactions among Microorganisms and Development of Co-culture System for Production of Useful Substances
Co-culture systems containing two microorganisms for the production of useful substances are described. We developed a novel co-culture system... -
Bacterial Capsular Polysaccharide and Sugar Transferases
Capsular polysaccharides (CPs) of several pathogenic bacteria are thought to be good materials for the development of new therapeutic reagents. These... -
Bacterial Sterilization and Intracellular Protein Release by a Pulsed Electric Field
Several biotechnological applications of high-voltage pulsed electric field (PEF) are introduced. Electrical breakdown or disruption of a biological... -
Functional Magnetic Particles for Medical Application
Magnetic particles for medical applications have been developed by many researchers. Since magnetic particles have unique magnetic features not... -
Development of Culture Techniques of Keratinocytes for Skin Graft Production
The in vitro cultures of human tissues have attracted a great deal of medical attention as a promising technique for repairing defective tissues in... -
Large-Scale Micropropagation System of Plant Cells
Plant micropropagation is an efficient method of propagating disease-free, genetically uniform and massive amounts of plants in vitro. The scale-up...
