RESUMO
In recent years, the analysis of the dynamics of annular neural networks has received extensive attention and achieved some achievements. However, most of the current research merely focuses on the single-ring, low-dimension, two rings sharing one neuron cases, without considering the rich coupling modes between rings. In this article, a large-scale time-delay fractional-order dual-loop neural network model with cross-coupling structure is established, in which two rings complete information interaction through two shared neurons. Moreover, the Caputo fractional derivative is introduced in this article to describe the neural network more accurately. First, the transmission time delay between each neuron is selected as the key parameter leading to the bifurcation, and the characteristic equation of the network is creatively derived using the Coates flow graph method. Subsequently, through the holistic element method and magnitude angle formula, we simplify the analytical process. Then, we obtain the stability and Hopf bifurcation criterion of the network. Finally, the conclusions of the theoretical analysis are verified by a series of numerical simulations. The results show that the stability region of the network is closely related to the fractional order, the number of neurons, the distribution of neurons, and the self-feedback coefficients. Moreover, the time delays have a significant effect on the amplitude and period of the Hopf bifurcation.
RESUMO
This work is dedicated to the leaderless/leader-following stochastic scaled consensus issue of second-order stochastic multi-agent systems (SMASs) in a noisy environment. Scaled consensus represents that the ratios among agents asymptotically tend to designated constants rather than the common convergence value. To lessen the influence of communication noise, some stochastic approximation protocols with time-varying gain are designed for our underlying system, where the time-varying gain remove the restriction of nonnegative value. Compared with the existing consensus results with communication noise, the major challenge is that the introduction of time-varying gain results in the inapplicability of Lyapunov-based technique. To cope with it, a state decomposition method is utilized, and a series of sufficient necessary conditions are set up for interacting agents with constant velocity and zero velocity if the topology includes a spanning tree. Furthermore, it is conducted that the consensus and bipartite consensus can be seen as two special cases of our work. Finally, the validity of our results is demonstrated by a simulation example.
RESUMO
This article investigates the practical fixed-time synchronization of uncertain coupled neural networks via dual-channel event-triggered control. Contrary to some previous studies, the bipartite synchronization of signed graphs representing cooperative and antagonistic interactions is studied. The communication channel is introduced into deception attacks, which are described by Bernoulli's stochastic variables. Based on the concept of two channels, event-triggered mechanisms are designed for sensor-to-controller and controller-to-actuator channels to reduce communication consumption and controller update consumption as much as possible. Lyapunov and comparison theories are used to derive synchronization criteria and explicit expression of settling time. An example of Chua's circuit system is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the obtained theoretical results.
RESUMO
The synchronization problem of the coupled delayed inertial neural networks (DINNs) with stochastic delayed impulses is studied. Based on the properties of stochastic impulses and the definition of average impulsive interval (AII), some synchronization criteria of the considered DINNs are obtained in this article. In addition, compared with previous related works, the requirement on the relationship among the impulsive time intervals, system delays, and impulsive delays is removed. Furthermore, the potential effect of impulsive delay is studied by rigorous mathematical proof. It is shown that within a certain range, the larger the impulsive delay, the faster the system converges. Numerical examples are provided to show the correctness of the theoretical results.
RESUMO
Drug combination therapies are common practice in the treatment of cancer, but not all combinations result in synergy. As traditional screening approaches are restricted in their ability to uncover synergistic drug combinations, computer-aided medicine is becoming a increasingly prevalent in this field. In this work, a predictive model of potential interactions between drugs named MPFFPSDC is presented, which can maintain the symmetry of drug inputs and eliminate inconsistencies in predictive results caused by different drug inputting sequences or positions. The experimental results show that MPFFPSDC outperforms comparative models in major performance indicators and exhibits better generalization for independent data. Furthermore, the case study demonstrates that our model can capture molecular substructures that contribute to the synergistic effect of two drugs. These results indicate that MPFFPSDC not only offers strong predictive performance, but also has good model interpretability that may provide new insights for the study of drug interaction mechanisms and the development of new drugs.

RNA plays a vital role in the physiological and pathological processes of cells and tissues. However, RNA in situ hybridization applications in clinical diagnostics are still limited to a few examples. In this study, we developed a novel in situ hybridization assay for human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 mRNA by taking advantage of specific padlock probing and rolling circle amplification, combined with chromogenic readout. We designed padlock probes for 14 types of high-risk HPV and demonstrated that E6/E7 mRNA could be visualized in situ as discrete dot-like signals using bright-field microscopy. Overall, the results are consistent with the clinical diagnostics lab's hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and p16 immunohistochemistry test results. Our work thus shows the potential applications of RNA in situ hybridization for clinical diagnostics using chromogenic single-molecule detection, offering an alternative technical option to the current commercially available kit based on branched DNA technology. IMPORTANCE In situ detection of viral mRNA expression in tissue samples is of great value for pathological diagnosis to access viral infection status. Unfortunately, conventional RNA in situ hybridization assays lack sensitivity and specificity for clinical diagnostic purposes. Currently, the commercially available branched DNA technology-based single-molecule RNA in situ detection method offers satisfactory results. Here, we present our padlock probe- and rolling circle amplification-based RNA in situ hybridization assay for detecting HPV E6/E7 mRNA expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, providing an alternative yet robust method for viral RNA in situ visualization that is also applicable to different types of diseases.
RESUMO
Spatial transcriptomics enables the study of localization-indexed gene expression activity in tissues, providing the transcriptional landscape that in turn indicates the potential regulatory networks of gene expression. In situ sequencing (ISS) is a targeted spatial transcriptomic technique, based on padlock probe and rolling circle amplification combined with next-generation sequencing chemistry, for highly multiplexed in situ gene expression profiling. Here, we present improved in situ sequencing (IISS) that exploits a new probing and barcoding approach, combined with advanced image analysis pipelines for high-resolution targeted spatial gene expression profiling. We develop an improved combinatorial probe anchor ligation chemistry using a 2-base encoding strategy for barcode interrogation. The new encoding strategy results in higher signal intensity as well as improved specificity for in situ sequencing, while maintaining a streamlined analysis pipeline for targeted spatial transcriptomics. We show that IISS can be applied to both fresh frozen tissue and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections for single-cell level spatial gene expression analysis, based on which the developmental trajectory and cell-cell communication networks can also be constructed.

This article addresses the fixed-time (F-T) and predefined-time (P-T) cluster lag synchronization of stochastic multi-weighted complex networks (SMWCNs) via strictly intermittent quantized control (SIQC). Firstly, by exploiting mathematical induction and reduction to absurdity, a novel F-T stability lemma is proved and an accurate estimation of settling time (ST) is obtained. Subsequently, by virtue of the proposed F-T stability, some simple conditions that ensure the F-T cluster lag synchronization of SMWCNs are derived by developing a SIQC strategy. Furthermore, the P-T cluster lag synchronization is also explored based on a SIQC design, where the ST can be predefined by an adjustable constant of the controller. Note that the designed controllers here are simpler and more economical than the traditional design whose the linear part is still activated during the rest interval. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

This article investigates the finite-time and fixed-time synchronization for memristive neural networks (MNNs) with mixed time-varying delays under the adaptive aperiodically intermittent adjustment strategy. Different from previous works, this article first employs the aperiodically intermittent adjustment feedback control and adaptive control to drive the MNNs to achieve synchronization in finite time and fixed time. First of all, according to the theories of set-valued mappings and differential inclusions, the error MNNs is derived, and its finite-time and fixed-time stability problems are discussed by applying the Lyapunov function method and some LMI techniques. Moreover, by meticulously designing an effective aperiodically intermittent adjustment with adaptive updating law, sufficient conditions that guarantee the finite-time and fixed-time synchronization of the drive-response MNNs are obtained, and the settling time is explicitly estimated. Finally, three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the obtained theoretical results.
RESUMO
This article investigates the synchronization of communication-constrained complex dynamic networks subject to malicious attacks. An observer-based controller is designed by virtue of the bounded encode sequence derived from an improved coding-decoding communication protocol. Moreover, taking the security of data transmission into consideration, the denial-of-service attacks with the frequency and duration characterized by the average dwell-time constraint are introduced into data communication, and their influence on the coder string is analyzed explicitly. Thereafter, by imposing reasonable restrictions on the transmission protocol and the occurrence of attacks, the boundedness of coding intervals can be obtained. Since the precision of data is generally limited, it may lead to the situation that the signal to be encoded overflows the coding interval such that it results in the unavailability of the developed coding scheme. To cope with this problem, a dynamic variable is introduced to the design of the protocol. Subsequently, based on the Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions for ensuring the input-to-state stability of the synchronization error systems under the communication-constrained condition and malicious attacks are presented. The validity of the developed method is finally verified by a simulation example of chaotic networks.
RESUMO
This technical note proposes a decentralized-partial-consensus optimization (DPCO) problem with inequality constraints. The partial-consensus matrix originating from the Laplacian matrix is constructed to tackle the partial-consensus constraints. A continuous-time algorithm based on multiple interconnected recurrent neural networks (RNNs) is derived to solve the optimization problem. In addition, based on nonsmooth analysis and Lyapunov theory, the convergence of continuous-time algorithm is further proved. Finally, several examples demonstrate the effectiveness of main results.

Furthermore, a connection between the equilibrium of the induced algorithm and the involved optimization problem is established, with the aid of the tools from nonsmooth analysis and change of coordinate theorem. Two numerical examples with practical significance are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the designed algorithm.

In this article, the finite-time synchronization (FTSYN) of a class of quaternion-valued neural networks (QVNNs) with discrete and distributed time delays is studied. Furthermore, the FTSYN and fixed-time synchronization (FIXSYN) of the QVNNs without time delay are investigated. Different from the existing results, which used decomposition techniques, by introducing an improved one-norm, we use a direct analytical method to study the synchronization problems. Incidentally, several properties of one-norm of the quaternion are analyzed, and then, three effective controllers are proposed to synchronize the drive and response QVNNs within a finite time or fixed time. Moreover, efficient criteria are proposed to guarantee that the synchronization of QVNNs with or without mixed time delays can be realized within a finite and fixed time interval, respectively. In addition, the settling times are reckoned. Compared with the existing work, our advantages are mainly reflected in the simpler Lyapunov analytical process and more general activation function. Finally, the validity and practicability of the conclusions are illustrated via four numerical examples.
RESUMO
In this paper, the synchronization problem of inertial neural networks with time-varying delays and generally Markovian jumping is investigated. The second order differential equations are transformed into the first-order differential equations by utilizing the variable transformation method. The Markovian process in the systems is uncertain or partially known due to the delay of data transmission channel or the loss of data information, which is more general and practicable to consider generally Markovian jumping inertial neural networks. The synchronization criteria can be obtained by using the delay-dependent Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and higher order polynomial based relaxed inequality (HOPRII). In addition, the desired controllers are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

This article investigates adaptive control problems for unknown second-order nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) via an event-triggered approach. An adaptive event-triggered consensus controller is given to second-order MAS with unknown nonlinear dynamics. We prove that the proposed consensus controller is free from Zeno behavior. Next, an adaptive event-triggered tracking controller is developed for leader-follower MAS with the leader having bounded nonzero control input. Both consensus and tracking controllers are fully distributed, which means that event-triggered controllers only use local cooperative information. Finally, an unknown second-order nonlinear MAS is used to verify the given event-triggered controllers.
RESUMO
In this article, synchronization problem in an array of output-coupled Boolean control networks (BCNs) is studied by using event-triggered sampled feedback control. Algebraic forms of an array of output-coupled BCNs are presented via the semitensor product (STP) of matrices. Based on the algebraic forms, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the synchronization of an array of output-coupled BCNs. Furthermore, an algorithm is proposed to design event-triggered sampled feedback controllers. Finally, the obtained results are well illustrated by numerical examples.
RESUMO
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. Precisely profiling of miRNA expression will help us to better understand their roles in normal and diseased cells and tissues. Here we describe in situ miRNA detection by padlock probing and miRNA target-primed rolling circle amplification. We optimized our protocol and showed it can be applied to both fixed cells and tissue sections. The method can be used in basic research and potentially in clinical diagnostics in the future.

In the paper, synchronization of coupled neural networks with delayed impulses is investigated. In order to overcome the difficulty that time delays can be flexible and even larger than impulsive interval, we propose a new method of average impulsive delay (AID). By the methods of average impulsive interval (AII) and AID, some sufficient synchronization criteria for coupled neural networks with delayed impulses are obtained. We prove that the time delay in impulses can play double roles, namely, it may desynchronize a synchronous network or synchronize a nonsynchronized network. Moreover, a unified relationship is established among AII, AID and rate coefficients of the impulsive dynamical network such that the network is globally exponentially synchronized (GES). Further, we discuss the case that time delays in impulses may be unbounded, which has not been considered in existing results. Finally, two examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the derived results.

This paper investigates an adaptive finite-time control (FTC) problem for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with both time-delays and quantized input from a new point of view. First, a new concept, called preassigned finite-time performance function (PFTF), is defined. Then, another novel notion, called practically preassigned finite-time stability (PPFTS), is introduced. With PFTF and PPFTS in hand, a novel sufficient condition of the FTC is given by using the neural network (NN) control and direct adaptive backstepping technique, which is different from the existing results. In addition, a modified barrier function is first introduced in this work. Moreover, this work is first to focus on the FTC for the situation that the time-delay and quantized input simultaneously exist in the nonlinear systems. Finally, simulation results are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
RESUMO
This paper focuses on exponential synchronization for master-slave time-varying delayed complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) under hybrid impulsive controllers. Hybrid impulsive controllers is the extension of impulsive controllers, which can simultaneously permit synchronizing as well as desynchronizing impulses in one impulsive sequence, i.e., hybrid impulses. We separate CVNNs into their real and imaginary parts, which leads to two real-valued neural networks (RVNNs). Based on the concepts of average impulsive interval (AII) and average impulsive gain (AIG), we find that master-slave exponential synchronization for the real and imaginary parts of CVNNs can be realized via hybrid impulsive control under certain conditions. By employing the Lyapunov method, sufficient criteria are established to guarantee synchronization of the given master-slave CVNNs. Finally, the validity of the obtained results is demonstrated via a numerical example.
