In this report, we propose a modification on the Asano-Ohya-Khrennikov quantum-like decision-making process model of a two-player game by adding additional nonlinear terms to the related comparison step dynamical equation. The additions are in the form of a self-interaction and cross-interaction of the brain’s amygdala and prefrontal cortex. We sho...

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) are widely used to determine the size of biological nanoparticles in liquid. In both cases, one first measures the nanoparticle diffusion coefficient and then converts it to the nanoparticle radius via the Stokes-Einstein relation. This relation is based on the no-slip boundary...

In this paper, we analyze several cancer cell types from two seemingly independent angles: (a) the over-expression of various proteins participating in protein-protein interaction networks and (b) a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. We use large data sets to obtain a thermodynamic measure of the protein-protein interacti...

During cell migration, forces applied to a cell from its environment influence the motion. When the cell is placed on a substrate, such a force is provided by the cell-substrate adhesion. Modulation of adhesivity, often performed by the modulation of the substrate stiffness, tends to cause common responses for cell spreading, cell speed, persistenc...

The Fåhræus-Lindqvist effect is usually explained from a physical point of view with the so-called Haynes’ marginal zone theory, i.e., migration of red blood cells (RBCs) to a core layer surrounded by an annular RBCs-free plasma layer. In this paper we show that the marginal layer, though causing a substantial reduction in flow resistance and incre...

The intensity of erythrocyte membrane fluctuations was studied by laser interference microscopy (LIM), which provide information about mechanical properties of the erythrocyte membrane. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to study erythrocyte surface relief; it is related to the cytoskeleton structure of erythrocyte membrane. Intact human erythr...

The conventional mean-field kinetic models describing the interplay of cancer and the immune system are temporal and predict exponential growth or elimination of the population of tumour cells provided their number is small and their effect on the immune system is negligible. More complex kinetics are associated with non-linear features of the resp...

We employ some of the machinery developed in previous work to investigate the inferential and memory functions of quantum-like neural networks. We set up a logical apparatus to implement this in the form of a Gentzen sequent calculus which codifies some of the combinatory rules for the state spaces of the neuronal networks introduced earlier. We di...

This paper examines the effect of electromagnetic waves, with maxima in the green or red regions of the spectrum, on the morphofunctional state of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells. The illumination regimes used in our experiments did not lead to any substantial heating of the samples; the physical parameters of the lighting were carefully moni...

Predator-prey systems are used to model time-dependent virus and lymphocyte population during a liver infection and to discuss the influence of chemotactic behavior on the chronification tendency of such infections. Therefore, a model family of reaction-diffusion equations is presented, and the long-term behavior of the solutions is estimated by a ...
