Multiscale mathematical models that incorporate both intracellular and extracellular hepatitis C virus (HCV) dynamics have been developed in recent years to study HCV-host dynamics and antivirals mode of action and efficacy. They were built upon the standard HCV dynamic model that keeps track of uninfected hepatocytes, HCV-infected hepatocytes, and free virus in blood (for each there is a differential equation), along with a fourth equation that considers the intracellular viral RNA (vRNA) dynamics in an infected cell. A multiscale model with vRNA dynamics consideration is substantially more difficult to solve and the governing differential equations are stiff. In one of the derived differential equations there is also an integral involving the vRNA that is more accurately computed by considering previous iterations, impeding the use of canned solvers. To solve this problem we have chosen to implement a stable and efficient numerical method that belongs to the family of adaptive stepsize methods and is implicit, the Rosenbrock method. We provide a user friendly simulator called HCVMultiscaleDyn with a Graphical User Interface that applies this method and is useful to simulate viral dynamics during antiviral treatment.

In the study of glassy network state interest among the experimenters and theorists is appraised in the analysis of structurally tangled state. Through a discussion of topological model, which are acquired to understand the atomic arrangement in the glass network we can recognise the technological relevance of chalcogenide glasses. Chalcogenide glasses relate to the (SnSe4)95-x (Bi2Te3)5+x (x = 0, 5, 15, 25, 35, 45 at %) alloy have been investigated for theoretical parameters. Based on average coordination number and the bond energies one should have estimated the average number of nearest neighbour of each type expected to embrace a given central atom. Using average coordination number the various network parameters viz. bond stretching constant (Nα), bond bending constant (Nβ), total number of constraint per atom (Nc), lone pair of electron (L), of the glass alloy have been examined theoretically. Lone pair electron (L) value are found to be constant throughout the compositions as L value comes out to be greater than 3 indicates that alloy can retain their vitreous *** total number of constraint per atom (Nc) were calculated in the light of most stable composition which shows the best conditions for the glass formation.

Activated carbon due to its inherent properties such as large surface area and low cost is most frequently used electrode material for supercapacitor. Activated carbon has been previously derived from various biomass such as coconut shell, coffee bean etc. Herein, we report the synthesis of activated carbon from waste orange skin. The material was synthesized employing chemical activation method and the success of synthesis was confirmed by its physical and electrochemical properties. The physical properties of the as-prepared sample were studied using the techniques of XRD, SEM, Raman spectroscopy and N2 adsorption/desorption analysis while its electrochemical properties were studied in two-electrode assembly using liquid electrolyte (consisting of 1 M solution of LiTFSI dispersed in ionic liquid EMITFSI) and employing the techniques of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic charge- discharge. The synthesized sample of activated carbon exhibits high specific capacitance of 115 F g-1 at 10 mV s−1. Also, the activated carbon electrode shows the retention of ∼75% in initial capacitance value for more than 2000 initial cycles, indicating the as-prepared activated carbon can be profitably used as electrode material for energy storage devices.

This paper describes ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) that can take sample of contaminated water and soil while the operator operates it on the shore or ship. User can operate ROV wirelessly. ROV is equipped with camera, robot hand, GPS, accelerometer, compass, and other devices. The ROV is aimed to help researchers to research contaminated water and soil that can be applied in and on the lake, river, and sea. The way it operates are syphoning water with mini pump and taking soil sample with robot hand. The result shows that all hardware and software can run well underwater. So that, ROV in this experiment can be used to take sample of contaminated water and soil in the place with maximum a depth of 1m. For the next experiment, this ROV will be tested in other place with a depth more than 1m. however, this ROV will continue to be refined to be maximally utilized.

The paper describes a new scenario for the transition to complex dynamics in a vibrating system with an unbalanced rotor and a relay feedback control. We show that the transition from a regular dynamics without switching events in the relay element to an irregular dynamics which takes place completely in the hysteresis region occurs via a cascade of persistence border collisions.

We investigate synchronization in a population of mobile pulse-coupled agents with a view towards implementations in swarm-robotics systems and mobile sensor networks. Previous theoretical approaches dealt with range and nearest-neighbor interactions. In the latter case, a synchronization-hindering regime for intermediate agent mobility is found. We investigate the robustness of this intermediate regime under practical scenarios. We show that synchronization in the intermediate regime can be predicted by means of a suitable metric of the phase response curve. Furthermore, we study more-realistic K-nearest-neighbor and cone-of-vision interactions, showing that it is possible to control the extent of the synchronization-hindering region by appropriately tuning the size of the neighborhood. To assess the effect of noise, we analyze the propagation of perturbations over the network and draw an analogy between the response in the hindering regime and stable chaos. Our findings reveal the conditions for the control of clock or activity synchronization of agents with intermediate mobility. In addition, the emergence of the intermediate regime is validated experimentally using a swarm of physical robots interacting with cone-of-vision interactions.
Despite the enormous theoretical and experimental progress made so far in quantum key distribution (QKD), the security of most existing QKD implementations is not rigorously established yet. A critical obstacle is tha...

Dependence of the elements of inertia tensor on the area of cross-section bounded by a generatrix of a dynamic surface is determined. Their dependence on the area of dynamic parameters describing the flow of the working medium, such as flow rate, average flow velocity through cross section, the flow power in the cross section, etc., is determined as well. Studies have shown that the inertia tensor contains geometric information concerning the generatrix and can be used for shaping the channel surface in accordance with dynamic parameters of the working medium. A geometric model of dynamic surface formation based on the application of mass-inertia characteristics of its generatrixes is obtained. The conducted research allows to achieve the most optimal combination of regime (dynamic) characteristics of the working medium transported by the dynamic surface and the design characteristics of such surface.

Electrochemical biosensors show great promise for point-of-care applications due to their low cost, portability and compatibility with microfluidics. The miniature size of these sensors provides advantages in terms of sensitivity, specificity and allows them to be mass produced in arrays. The most reliable fabrication technique for these sensors is lithography followed by metal deposition using sputtering or chemical vapor deposition techniques. This technique which is usually done in the cleanroom requires expensive masking followed by deposition. Recently, cheaper printing techniques such as screen-printing and ink-jet printing have become popular due to its low cost, ease of fabrication and mask-less method. In this paper, two different printing techniques namely inkjet and screen printing are demonstrated for an electrochemical biosensor. For ink-jet printing technique, optimization of key printing parameters, such as pulse voltages, drop spacing and waveform setting, in-house temperature and cure annealing for obtaining the high quality droplets, are discussed. These factors are compared with screen-printing parameters such as mesh size, emulsion thickness, minimum spacing of lines and curing times. The reliability and reproducibility of the sensors are evaluated using scotch tape test, resistivity and profile-meter measurements. It was found that inkjet printing is superior because it is mask-less, has minimum resolution of 100 µm compared to 200 µm for screen printing and higher reproducibility rate of 90% compared to 78% for screen printing.
