The generation of spikes by neurons is energetically a costly process. This paper studies the consumption of energy and the information entropy in the signalling activity of a model neuron both when it is supposed isolated and when it is coupled to another neuron by an electrical synapse. The neuron has been modelled by a four-dimensional Hindmarsh-Rose type kinetic model for which an energy function has been deduced. For the isolated neuron values of energy consumption and information entropy at different signalling regimes have been computed. For two neurons coupled by a gap junction we have analyzed the roles of the membrane and synapse in the contribution of the energy that is required for their organized signalling. Computational results are provided for cases of identical and nonidentical neurons coupled by unidirectional and bidirectional gap junctions. one relevant result is that there are values of the coupling strength at which the organized signalling of two neurons induced by the gap junction takes place at relatively low values of energy consumption and the ratio of mutual information to energy consumption is relatively high. Therefore, communicating at these coupling values could be energetically the most efficient option. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved

Summary: Buildings in rural areas of Morocco present diverse shapes and sizes, posing challenges for accurate detection using optical satellite imagery and traditional image processing techniques. This study aims to detect and map settlements in the Souss-Massa region using deep learning algorithms with Sentinel-2 satellite images. The performance of the convolutional neural network architecture UNet was tested, followed by an evaluation of the impact of filters number on UNet's performance. The deep Residual UNet (ResUNet) was also implemented. Special metrics, including precision, recall, F1-score, and the ROC curve, were used to evaluate the quality of the tested models. The UNet with an increased number of filters achieved a precision of 87% and an F1-score of 54%, outperforming other algorithms such as UNet and ResUNet.

Impact of Delay on Stochastic Predator-Prey Models

Abdelmalik Moujahid, Fernando Vadillo

Summary: Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are important for modeling and understanding various real systems. However, in the life sciences, time-delayed differential equations (DDEs) are often required for mathematical modeling. These models involve time delays that represent the manifestation of hidden processes, such as incubation periods or immune periods. Stochastic delay differential equations (SDDEs) provide a more realistic approximation to these models due to the uncertainties in biological systems. This study examines the predator-prey system using three types of time-delay models, revealing the significance of stochasticity and the magnitude of the delay in determining the system dynamics.

Biological thermodynamics: Ervin Bauer and the unification of life sciences and physics

Abir U. Igamberdiev

Summary: Biological systems strive to maximize self-maintenance and adaptability by establishing stable non-equilibrium states that organize the fluxes of matter and energy and control metabolic processes. These states are realized in autopoietic structures that operate based on biological codes. The principle of thermodynamic buffering optimizes metabolic fluxes, and in developing systems, the principle transforms into increasing external work. Bauer's concept of the stable non-equilibrium state places thermodynamics within the framework of internal biological causality, providing a relational theory of biological thermodynamics.
