A new kind of crisis is defined as a sudden change of a strange repeller. It can be observed in some non-smooth systems, such as a tent map, a "hole map", an electronic relaxation oscillator, and a discontinuous kicked rotor.

A new kind of crisis, which is marked by a sudden change of a strange repeller, is observed in an electronic relaxation oscillator. Fist, by its simplified piecewise linear model, we show analytically that a strange repeller appears after a hole-induced crisis, and that the fractal dimension of the strange repeller and the averaged lifetime of the iterations in the region occupied by the original attractor suddenly change at a critical parameter value when the repeller disappears. Our numerical investigation convinces us that the corresponding phenomenon can be found in the original electronic relaxation oscillator.

After the sinus node was destroyed, its rhythmic activity was simulated by an electronic relaxation oscillator coupled to the beating heart. The output of the oscillator was used to stimulate the right atrium, and the ventricular response was returned to the input of the relaxation oscillator. By manually varying the frequency of this artificial pacemaker it was possible to produce changes in the rate of the atrio–ventricular (A–V) node similar to those obtained by perfusion of the intact sinus node with chronotropic agents. Particular attention was paid to the transitions from "oscillator" rhythm to A–V nodal rhythm, and vice versa. The results provide support for the following hypotheses relative to the intact heart: (i) some form of sinus node activity persists during A–V nodal rhythm, and (ii) the principal pacemakers of the heart, the sinus and A–V nodes, behave as a system of coupled relaxation oscillators.

During ventricular arrest obtained by injections of acetylcholine into the canine atrioventricular node artery, atrial acceleration of variable magnitude was observed. Upon return of ventricular activity a marked slowing of atrial rate was usually noted, followed by a gradual return to the initial sinus rhythm. Similar phenomena were observed with a preparation in which the sinus node was destroyed and its activity simulated by an electronic relaxation oscillator coupled to the heart in a closed-loop fashion. Model experiments with two interacting relaxation oscillators suggested that atrial acceleration during ventricular arrest, and atrial slowing during the return of ventricular activity, were governed by some sort of feedback from ventricles to sinus node.

<p></p><p> Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived <sup>1</sup>n<sub>O</sub>π* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived <sup>3</sup>ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.</p><p></p>
