Collective dynamics of two-mode stochastic oscillators

We study a system of two-mode stochastic oscillators coupled through their collective output. As a function of a relevant parameter four qualitatively distinct regimes of collective behavior are observed. In an extended region of the parameter space the periodicity of the collective output is enhanced by the considered coupling. This system can be used as a new model to describe synchronization-like phenomena in systems of units with two or more oscillation modes. The model can also explain how periodic dynamics can be generated by coupling largely stochastic units. Similar systems could be responsible for the emergence of rhythmic behavior in complex biological or sociological systems.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex, 5 figure

The current state of the issues of diagnosis and surgical treatment of liver echinococcosis (literature review)

The article presents a review of literature data in order to study current problems in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of liver echinococcosis. At the present stage of technological progress, it is possible to study the genetic, anatomical and pathophysiological aspects of echinococcosis. The article highlights the advantages and disadvantages of surgical operations performed in patients with echinococcal liver damage. Methods and results of surgical treatment in various clinics are considered. The main surgical directions in the treatment of parasitic liver damage have been determined. These are more radical anatomical and extensive liver resections and minimally invasive, including laparoscopic and robotic techniques. Each of the methods used has its own niche of application and its own limitations. An opinion is expressed about the prospects for the development of minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment. The authors note the actual absence of a unified standardized tactics of surgical treatment at the moment. It is noted that the literature contains only fragmentary data on the possibility of combining minimally invasive and classical methods of surgical treatment. Despite the introduction of new methods of treatment, the percentage of complications and mortality are still high. Thus, the lack of uniform diagnostic standards and principles for determining surgical tactics testifies to the urgency of the problem of treating parasitic liver damage and determines the search for new solutions in order to improve the results of surgical treatment of this pathology

Stochastic resonance in perspective.

We outline the historical development of stochastic resonance (SR), a phenomenon in which the signal and/or the signal-to-noise ratio in a nonlinear system increases with increasing intensity of noise. We discuss basic theoreticak ideas explaining and describing SR, and we review some revealing experimental data that place SR within the wider context of statistical physics. We emphasize the close relationship of SR to some effects that are well known in condensed-matter physics
