The primary objective of this US-Czechoslovak cooperative research project between Dr. Irving Epstein of Brandeis University and Dr. Milos Marek of the Prague Institute of Chemical Technology is to examine basic qualities of inorganic chemical and biochemical systems consisting of units that can display oscillatory or excitable behavior. When coupled together, these units may exhibit unusual and important properties such as growth or cessation of oscillatory behavior or chaotic phenomena. Both theorectical and experimental studies will be undertaken. Results should provide insight into the new phenomena that can arise when nonlinear reaction dynamics are coupled with concentration gradients and the effects of diffusion. Knowledge of this phenomenon of excitability and its influences may lead to an ability to predict the behavior of a periodically forced oscillator or pair of coupled oscillators which would be of considerable interest to chemists and biologists studying coupled dynamical systems. This project in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.

这项美国和捷克斯洛伐克合作研究的主要目的是 布兰迪斯大学的欧文爱泼斯坦博士和 布拉格化学技术研究所的米洛斯·马雷克博士将 考查无机化学和生物化学的基本素质 由能够显示振荡或 易激动的行为 当耦合在一起时，这些单元可以表现出 不寻常的和重要的性质，如增长或停止 振荡行为或混沌现象。 理论上和 将进行实验研究。 结果应提供 深入了解非线性时可能出现的新现象， 反应动力学与浓度梯度相结合， 扩散的影响。 这种兴奋性现象的知识 它的影响可能会使我们有能力预测 周期性受迫振荡器或耦合振荡器对的 这会引起化学家和生物学家的极大兴趣 研究耦合动力系统 这个项目在无机和生物无机化学履行 计划目标是通过促进 美国和东欧的顶尖专家将联合收割机 人才互补，汇聚科研资源， 强烈的共同兴趣和能力。
