Based on a multi-scale view, in this paper, we study an age-structured within-host model with Crowley–Martin functional response for the control of viral infections. By means of semigroup and Lyapunov function, the global asymptotical property of infected steady state of the model is obtained. The results show that when the basic reproductive number falls below unity, the infection dies out. However, when the basic reproductive number exceeds unity, there exists a unique positive equilibrium which is globally asymptotically stable. This model can be deduced to different viral models with or without time delay.

We describe a neural network able to rapidly establish correspondence between neural feature layers. Each of the network's two layers consists of interconnected cortical columns, and each column consists of inhibitorily coupled subpopulations of excitatory neurons. The dynamics of the system builds on a dynamic model of a single column, which is consistent with recent experimental findings. The network realizes dynamic links between its layers with the help of specialized columns that evaluate similarities between the activity distributions of local feature cell populations, are subject to a topology constraint, and can gate the transfer of feature information between the neural layers. The system can robustly be applied to natural images, and correspondences are found in time intervals estimated to be smaller than 100 ms in physiological terms.

Restriction on cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL)-target cell-interactions are studied in the primate S. oedipus, a naturally occurring A + B----A bone marrow-chimeric species. We show that the T cell, B cell, and myelomonocytic progenitor cell populations are chimeric in this species. We selected animals for study that are populated by fully major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-disparate hematopoietic cell populations, using a functional assay system. We then developed an in vitro system for analyzing at the clonal level the genetic restrictions on the trinitrophenyl-specific CTL-target cell interactions of this species. In this system, we have shown that tolerance to foreign MHC determinants was not, of itself, sufficient to facilitate the generation of CTL specific for target cells expressing those foreign MHC determinants. Rather, a marked preference for the expansion of CTL clones with a restriction for target cells bearing the host animals' MHC determinants was seen. Hematopoietically derived cells did not affect the repertoire of these T lymphocytes. These studies represent the first demonstration of the phenomenon of an environment dictating interactional restrictions on CTL in a naturally occurring bone marrow-chimeric animal. This is also the first demonstration of the profound influence of the environment on the repertoire of the T lymphocyte in a primate species.
