Dynamic competition between transcription initiation and repression: Role of nonequilibrium steps in cell-to-cell heterogeneity [PDF]
Transcriptional repression may cause transcriptional noise by a competition between repressor and RNA polymerase binding. Although promoter activity is often governed by a single limiting step, we argue here that the size of the noise strongly depends on whether this step is the initial equilibrium binding or one of the subsequent unidirectional steps.

Mutual Repression enhances the Steepness and Precision of Gene Expression Boundaries [PDF]
Embryonic development is driven by spatial patterns of gene expression that determine the fate of each cell in the embryo. While gene expression is often highly erratic, embryonic development is usually exceedingly precise. In particular, gene expression boundaries are robust not only against intrinsic noise from gene expression and protein diffusion ...

Oscillations in the expression of a self-repressed gene induced by a slow transcriptional dynamics [PDF]
We revisit the dynamics of a gene repressed by its own protein in the case where the transcription rate does not adapt instantaneously to protein concentration but is a dynamical variable. We derive analytical criteria for the appearance of sustained oscillations and find that they require degradation mechanisms much less nonlinear than for infinitely ...

Psychology-guided Controllable Story Generation [PDF]
Controllable story generation is a challenging task in the field of NLP, which has attracted increasing research interest in recent years. However, most existing works generate a whole story conditioned on the appointed keywords or emotions, ignoring the psychological changes of the protagonist.

The postmodern subject from a psychopolitical perspective: An analysis from logotherapy
From a hermeneutic interpretation, this article analyzed the new psychic pandemic configuring a typology of psychopolitical man, provided by digital swarms and mass psychology, that, from logotherapy, can be perceived as a postmodern collective neurosis.

Cultures of conflict: Protests, violent repression, and community values
What are the cultural origins of societal conflicts that revolve around democratization, women's rights, and modern libertarian values? We propose that deep‐seated differences in community‐based collective values (at the micro‐level) may be related to ...

Dynamical Analysis on Gene Activity in the Presence of Repressors and an Interfering Promoter [PDF]
Transcription is regulated through interplay between transcription factors, an RNA polymerase(RNAP), and a promoter. Even for a simple repressive transcription factor that disturbs promoter activity at the initial binding of RNAP, its repression level is not determined solely by the dissociation constant of transcription factor but is sensitive to the ...

Emotional Intelligence: Elias, Foucault, and the Reflexive Emotional Self
Over the last decade and a half there has emerged growing interest in the concept of “emotional intelligence” (henceforth EI), particularly within literature relating to occupational psychology, leadership, human resource management, and training.
