Negative coupling during oscillatory pattern formation on a ring electrode

Pattern formation during the oscillatory electrodissolution of Co was studied using a Co ring electrode with a small reference electrode at a short distance in the center of the ring. Traveling pulses as well as source points (one-dimensional target patterns) were observed. These findings could be reproduced using a reaction-migration equation (RME) the coupling function of which was derived for the particular geometry from basic potential theory and was found to become negative for increasing distance. During pattern formation (i.e., for inhomogeneous potential distribution) the potential drop across the double layer could actually exceed the external applied voltage giving direct evidence for negative coupling

Postoperativ effekt av perioperativ administrering av fentanyl respektive remifentanil vid öppen hjärtkirurgi

Koronarkirurgi och/eller klaffoperationer med sternotomi genererar ofta uttalad smärta och anestesin har vid thoraxkirurgi länge grundats på användandet av stora doser av opioiden fentanyl. De senaste åren har den snabbverkande opioiden remifentanil kommit att användas i högre grad. Syftet med studien var att postoperativt utvärdera och jämföra effekten av perioperativ fentanyl och remifentanil administrering vid öppen hjärtkirurgi. Studien gjordes som en kvantitativ jämförande prospektiv kohortstudie med deskriptiv ansats och empirisk data samlades in med hjälp av ett protokoll. Resultatet visar att patienterna i den grupp som erhöll remifentanil skattade sin smärta högre en och tre timmar efter extubation. De administrerades även mer ketobemidon fram till extubering men därefter fanns inte längre några skillnader då laddningsdos exkluderats. Det fanns ingen skillnad i respirator- och sederingstid mellan grupperna

Breathing Current Domains in Globally Coupled Electrochemical Systems: A Comparison with a Semiconductor Model

Spatio-temporal bifurcations and complex dynamics in globally coupled intrinsically bistable electrochemical systems with an S-shaped current-voltage characteristic under galvanostatic control are studied theoretically on a one-dimensional domain. The results are compared with the dynamics and the bifurcation scenarios occurring in a closely related model which describes pattern formation in semiconductors. Under galvanostatic control both systems are unstable with respect to the formation of stationary large amplitude current domains. The current domains as well as the homogeneous steady state exhibit oscillatory instabilities for slow dynamics of the potential drop across the double layer, or across the semiconductor device, respectively. The interplay of the different instabilities leads to complex spatio-temporal behavior. We find breathing current domains and chaotic spatio-temporal dynamics in the electrochemical system. Comparing these findings with the results obtained earlier for the semiconductor system, we outline bifurcation scenarios leading to complex dynamics in globally coupled bistable systems with subcritical spatial bifurcations.Comment: 13 pages, 11 figures, 70 references, RevTex4 accepted by PRE http://pre.aps.or

Sugar utilization patterns and respiro-fermentative metabolism in the baker’s yeast Torulaspora delbrueckii

The highly osmo- and cryotolerant yeast species Torulaspora delbrueckii is an important case study among the non-Saccharomyces yeast species. The strain T delbrueckii PYCC 532 1, isolated from traditional corn and rye bread dough in northern Portugal, is considered particularly interesting for the baking industry. This paper reports the sugar utilization patterns of this strain, using media with glucose, maltose and sucrose, alone or in mixtures. Kinetics of growth, biomass and ethanol yields, fermentation and respiration rates, hydrolase activities and sugar uptake rates were used to infer the potential applied relevance of this yeast in comparison to a conventional baker's strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results showed that both maltase and maltose transport in T delbrueckii were subject to glucose repression and maltose induction, whereas invertase was subject to glucose control but not dependent on sucrose induction. A comparative analysis of specific sugar consumption rates and transport capacities suggests that the transport step limits both glucose and maltose metabolism. Specific rates of CO2 production and O-2 consumption showed a significantly higher contribution of respiration to the overall metabolism in T delbrueckii than in S. cerevisiae. This was reflected in the biomass yields from batch cultures and could represent an asset for the large-scale production of the former species. This work contributes to a better understanding of the physiology of a non-conventional yeast species, with a view to the full exploitation of T delbrueckii by the baking industry.This work was partially funded by Agência de Inovação (AdI) program POCI2010/2.3, project ‘PARFERM’.

When increasing population density can promote the evolution of metabolic cooperation.

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Nature Publishing Group via the DOI in this record.Microbial cooperation drives ecological and epidemiological processes and is affected by the ecology and demography of populations. Population density influences the selection for cooperation, with spatial structure and the type of social dilemma, namely public-goods production or self-restraint, shaping the outcome. While existing theories predict that in spatially structured environments increasing population density can select either for or against cooperation, experimental studies with both public-goods production and self-restraint systems have only ever shown that increasing population density favours cheats. We suggest that the disparity between theory and empirical studies results from experimental procedures not capturing environmental conditions predicted by existing theories to influence the outcome. Our study resolves this issue and provides the first experimental evidence that high population density can favour cooperation in spatially structured environments for both self-restraint and public-goods production systems. Moreover, using a multi-trait mathematical model supported by laboratory experiments we extend this result to systems where the self-restraint and public-goods social dilemmas interact. We thus provide a systematic understanding of how the strength of interaction between the two social dilemmas and the degree of spatial structure within an environment affect selection for cooperation. These findings help to close the current gap between theory and experiments.RJL and IG: European Research Council No. 647292 MathModExp.
