According to the conjecture based on some known facts of integrable models, a new （2＋1）-dimensional supersymmetric integrable bilinear system is proposed. The model is not only the extension of the known （2＋1）-dimensional negative Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation but also the extension of the known （1＋1）-dimensional supersymmetric Boussinesq equation. The infinite dimensional Kac-Moody-Virasoro symmetries and the related symmetry reductions of the model are obtained. Furthermore, the traveling wave solutions including soliton solutions are explicitly presented.
By applying the fermionization approach, the inverse version of the bosoniza- tion approach, to the Sharma-Tasso-Olver （STO） equation, three simple supersymmetric extensions of the STO equation are obtained from the Painlee analysis. Furthermore, some types of special exact solutions to the supersymmetric extensions are obtained.
We report stochastic simulations of the yeast mating signal transduction pathway. The effects of intrinsic and external noise, the influence of cell-to-cell difference in the pathway capacity, and noise propagation in the pathway have been examined. The stochastic temporal behaviour of the pathway is found to be robust to the influence of inherent fluctuations, and intrinsic noise propagates in the pathway in a uniform pattern when the yeasts are treated with pheromones of different stimulus strengths and of varied fluctuations. In agreement with recent experimental findings, extrinsic noise is found to play a more prominent role than intrinsic noise in the variability of proteins. The occurrence frequency for the reactions in the pathway are also examined and a more compact network is obtained by dropping most of the reactions of least occurrence.
Variable coefficient nonlinear systems, the Korteweg de Vries （KdV）, the modified KdV （mKdV） and the nonlinear Schrǒdinger （NLS） type equations, are derived from the nonlinear inviscid barotropic nondivergent vorticity equation in a beta-plane by means of the multi-scale expansion method in two different ways, with and without the so-called y-average trick. The non-auto-Bǎcklund transformations are found to transform the derived variable coefficient equations to the corresponding standard KdV, mKdV and NLS equations. Thus, many possible exact solutions can be obtained by taking advantage of the known solutions of these standard equations. Further, many approximate solutions of the original model are ready to be yielded which might be applied to explain some real atmospheric phenomena, such as atmospheric blocking episodes.
