DIRECTED PERCOLATION IN NONUNITARY QUANTUM CELLULAR AUTOMATA

Directed percolation in nonunitary quantum cellular automata

Probabilistic cellular automata (CA) provide a classic framework for studying nonequilibrium statistical physics on lattices.A notable example is the Domany-Kinzel CA, which has been used to investigate the process of directed percolation and the critical dynamics of the nonequilibrium phase transition between absorbing and percolating phases.In th

Rhabdomyosarcoma Cells Produce Their Own Extracellular Matrix With Minimal Involvement of Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts: A Preliminary Study

BackgroundThe interplay between neoplastic cells and surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) is one of the determinant elements for cancer growth.The remodeling of the ECM by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) shapes tumor microenvironment by depositing and digesting ECM proteins, hence promoting tumor growth and invasion.While for epithelial tumo

Kocher-Debre-Semelaigne syndrome with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: A hitherto unrecognized association

Kocher-Debre-Semelaigne (KDS) syndrome is a rare form of hypothyroid myopathy, with associated hypertrophy of muscles.Although cardiac manifestations of hypothyroidism are well known, reports of cardiac involvement in KDS have only described Masters of the Universe the occurrence of pericardial effusion as an ENTERTAINMENT UNIT association.This rep

Meal and habitual dietary networks identified through Semiparametric Gaussian Copula Graphical Models in a German adult population.

Gaussian graphical models (GGMs) are exploratory methods that can be applied to construct networks of food intake.Such networks were constructed for meal-structured data, elucidating how foods are consumed in relation to each other at meal level.Meal-specific networks were compared with habitual dietary networks using data from an EPIC-Potsdam sub-
