The nonlinear dynamical interactions among the endogenous agents can generate many locally stable<br />

states with obvious or non-obvious biological functions. The endogenous network may stay in any of<br />

such stable state for a considerably long time. In this manner the endogenous network is able to<br />

autonomously decide its operational functioning state. Some states may be normal, such as cell growth,<br />

apoptosis, arresting, etc. Others may be abnormal, such as growth with elevated immune response and<br />

high energy consumption, likely the signature of cancer, or of still useful functions to deal with<br />

occasional stressful situations. The stochasticity may accidentally cause a transition from one stable<br />

state to another. If with a given condition the endogenous network is in a state not optimized for the<br />

interest of whole organism, the organism is ‘sick’, though this state might be ‘normal’ under other<br />

conditions. Through the identifying agents of this endogenous network, the delineating of its wiring<br />

rules among endogenous agents, and the elucidating its global dynamical properties, a systems<br />

understanding of both normal and abnormal behaviors on how a tissue functions may be reached.<br />

Two recently proposed correlation functionals, TCA<br />

generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) class, are briefly presented and their performances are<br />

discussed. The emphasis is put on the comparison with hybrid functionals, which are often the<br />

preferred ones for applications to molecular (but not to solid-state) systems. We show that the TCA and<br />

RevTCA performances are not far from those of hybrid functionals such as B3LYP or PBE0 when<br />

standard tests are performed and can be even better when less standard systems are considered. This is<br />

particularly interesting in view of applications to nano-scale systems or systems of biological interest,<br />

and, in general, in all the cases where the computer time requirements become an important constraint.<br />

E-mail: glushkov@paco.net Paper is devoted to the Monte-Carlo<br />

computational studying the structural, and spectro<br />

properties for the biomolecules, in particular, biogene amines: serotonine (ST), histamine (HM), γ-amino oil acid (AC) a<br />

laser and neutron capture action on the indicated properties of studied molecules. The ST (or 5-hydroxitriptamine, 5-H<br />

produced by means of the hydroxciliration of essencial amine acid of the triptophane [1]. ST influences mainly in a place<br />

of<br />

its appearance and calls for blood vessel narrowing in places of the trombocites decay. Probably,<br />

serotonine ST is the mediator for transition of the nervous pulses in some branch of the brain. HM
