A network consisting of excitatory and inhibitory (EI) neurons is a canonical model for understanding local cortical network activity. In this study, we extended the local circuit model and investigated how its dynamical landscape can be enriched when it interacts with another excitatory (E) population with long transmission delays. Through analysis of a rate model and numerical simulations of a corresponding network of spiking neurons, we studied the transition from stationary to oscillatory states by analyzing the Hopf bifurcation structure in terms of two network parameters (1) transmission delay between the EI subnetwork and the E population and (2) inhibitory couplings that induced oscillatory activity in the EI subnetwork. We found that the critical coupling strength can strongly modulate as a function of transmission delay, and consequently the stationary state can be interwoven intricately with the oscillatory state. Such a dynamical landscape gave rise to an isolated stationary state surrounded by multiple oscillatory states that generated different frequency modes, and cross-frequency coupling developed naturally at the bifurcation points. We identified the network motifs with short- and long-range inhibitory connections that underlie the emergence of oscillatory states with multiple frequencies. Thus, we provided a mechanistic explanation of how the transmission delay to and from the additional E population altered the dynamical landscape. In summary, our results demonstrated the potential role of long-range connections in shaping the network activity of local cortical circuits.Conservative phase-field (CPF) equations based on the Allen-Cahn model for interface tracking in multiphase flows have become more popular in recent years, especially in the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) community. This is largely due to their simplicity and improved efficiency and accuracy over their Cahn-Hilliard-based counterparts. C07 Additionally, the improved locality of the resulting LB equation (LBE) for the CPF models makes them more ideal candidates for LB simulation of multiphase flows on nonuniform grids, particularly within an adaptive-mesh refinement framework and massively parallel implementation. In this regard, some modifications-intended as improvements-have been made to the original CPF-LBE proposed by Geier et al. [Phys. Rev. E 91, 063309 (2015)PLEEE81539-375510.1103/PhysRevE.91.063309] which require further examination. The goal of the present study is to conduct a comparative investigation into the differences between the original CPF model proposed by Geier et al. [Phys. Rev. E 91, 063309 (2015)PLk. We find that the accuracy of the model for interface tracking is roughly similar for different models at high viscosity ratios, high density ratios, and relatively high Reynolds numbers, while the original CFP-LBE without the additional time-dependent terms outperforms the so-called improved models in terms of efficiency, particularly on distributed parallel machines.We study the interfacial evolution of immiscible two-phase flow within a capillary tube in the partial wetting regime using direct numerical simulation. We investigate the flow patterns resulting from the displacement of a more viscous fluid by a less viscous one under a wide range of wettability conditions. We find that beyond a wettability dependent critical capillary number, a uniform displacement by a less viscous fluid can transition into a growing finger that eventually breaks up into discrete blobs by a series of pinch-off events for both wetting and nonwetting contact angles. This study validates previous experimental observations of pinch-off for wetting contact angles and extends those to nonwetting contact angles. We find that the blob length increases with the capillary number. We observe that the time between consecutive pinch-off events decreases with the capillary number and is greater for more wetting conditions in the displaced phase. We further show that the blob separation distance as a function of the difference between the inlet velocity and the contact line speed collapses into two monotonically decreasing curves for wetting and nonwetting contact angles. For the phase separation in the form of pinch-off, this work provides a quantitative study of the emerging length and timescales and their dependence on the wettability conditions, capillary effects, and viscous forces.The q-voter model with independence is investigated on multiplex networks with full overlap of nodes in the layers. The layers are various complex networks corresponding to different levels of social influence. Detailed studies are performed for the model on multiplex networks with two layers with identical degree distributions, obeying the LOCAL&AND and GLOBAL&AND spin update rules differing by the way in which the q-lobbies of neighbors within different layers exert their joint influence on the opinion of a given agent. Homogeneous pair approximation is derived for a general case of a two-state spin model on a multiplex network and its predictions are compared with results of mean-field approximation and Monte Carlo simulations of the above-mentioned q-voter model with independence for a broad range of parameters. As the parameter controlling the level of agents' independence is changed ferromagnetic phase transition occurs which can be first- or second-order, depending on the size of the lobby q. Details oualitatively wrong.In this paper, we study nonlocal random walk strategies generated with the fractional Laplacian matrix of directed networks. We present a general approach to analyzing these strategies by defining the dynamics as a discrete-time Markovian process with transition probabilities between nodes expressed in terms of powers of the Laplacian matrix. We analyze the elements of the transition matrices and their respective eigenvalues and eigenvectors, the mean first passage times and global times to characterize the random walk strategies. We apply this approach to the study of particular local and nonlocal ergodic random walks on different directed networks; we explore circulant networks, the biased transport on rings and the dynamics on random networks. We study the efficiency of a fractional random walker with bias on these structures. Effects of ergodicity loss which occur when a directed network is not any more strongly connected are also discussed.
