Tumor boundary instability induced by pressure feedback

We consider a Hele--Shaw-type tumor growth model obtained from the incompressible limit of a porous-medium equation. The limiting model preserves the patch structure of the tumor density and therefore admits a single free-boundary formulation. We investigate how a pressure-feedback parameter associated with the homeostatic pressure affects boundary stability. Using asymptotic analysis, we study boundary perturbations of finite-radius tumors and planar traveling fronts and derive the corresponding stability criteria. For planar fronts, the stability thresholds are further shown to be bifurcation points from which nonsymmetric traveling waves emerge. Our results indicate that pressure feedback can induce boundary instability in parameter regimes where the model without pressure feedback remains stable.

Event-Triggered Observer-Based Fixed-Time Consensus Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Multiagent Systems with Unknown States

This paper introduces a novel approach for achieving fixed-time tracking consensus control in multiagent systems (MASs). Departing from the reliance on traditional controllers, our innovative controller integrates modified tuning and Lyapunov functions to guarantee stability and convergence. Furthermore, we have implemented an event-triggered strategy aimed at reducing the frequency of updates, alongside an output-feedback observer to manage unmeasured states effectively. To address the challenges posed by unknown functions and algebraic-loop problems, we opted for radial basis function neural networks (RBF NNs), chosen for their superior performance. Our methodology successfully mitigates Zeno's behavior and ensures stability within a narrowly defined set. The efficacy of our proposed solution is validated through two illustrative simulation examples.

EEG Signal Denoising Using pix2pix GAN: Enhancing Neurological Data Analysis

Electroencephalography (EEG) is essential in neuroscience and clinical practice, yet it suffers from physiological artifacts, particularly electromyography (EMG), which distort signals. We propose a deep learning model using pix2pixGAN to remove such noise and generate reliable EEG signals. Leveraging the EEGdenoiseNet dataset, we created synthetic datasets with controlled EMG noise levels for model training and testing across a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from -7 to 2. Our evaluation metrics included RRMSE and Pearson's CC, assessing both time and frequency domains, and compared our model with others. The pix2pixGAN model excelled, especially under high noise conditions, showing significant improvements in lower RRMSE and higher CC values. This demonstrates the model's superior accuracy and stability in purifying EEG signals, offering a robust solution for EEG analysis challenges and advancing clinical and neuroscience applications.
