Periodic solutions and stability for a delayed discrete ratio-dependent predator-prey system with Holling-type functional response by Lin-Lin Wang, Wan-Tong Li

“…The existence of positive periodic solutions for a delayed discrete predator-prey model with Holling-type-III functional response N1(k+1)=N1(k)exp{b1(k)−a1(k)N1(k−[τ1])−α1(k)N1(k)N2(k)/(N12(k)+m2N22(k))}, N2(k+1)=N2(k)exp{−b2(k)+α2(k)N12(k−[τ2])/(N12(k−[τ2])+m2N22(k−[τ2]))} is established by using the coincidence degree theory. …”

Effects of different negative pressure cupping interventions on inflammatory response and motor function recovery in delayed onset muscle soreness by Xu Song, Teng Ma, XianYou Cui

“…IntroductionThis study examined the impacts of different negative pressure cupping therapies (NPCT) on pain relief, functional recovery, and inflammatory regulation in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after high-intensity exercise, with the aim of clarifying the dose-effect relationship.MethodsIn this study, 55 healthy male participants aged 18–25 were selected and divided into 5 groups: the control group (CTR; n = 11) and NPCT groups at different levels (−25 kPa, −35 kPa, −45 kPa, and −55 kPa; n = 11 in each group). …”

Edaphic factors mediate the response of nitrogen cycling and related enzymatic activities and functional genes to heavy metals: A review by Tracy Opande, Mengru Kong, Di Feng, YuHong Wen, Nathan Okoth, Ali Mohd Yatoo, Fatma Mohamed Ameen Khalil, Ahmed S. Elrys, Lei Meng, Jinbo Zhang

“…Former studies suggested that soil N cycling is chiefly regulated by microbial activity; however, emerging evidence indicates that this regulation is disrupted by heavy metal (HM) contamination, which alters microbial communities and enzyme functions critical to N transformations. Environmental factors like soil organic carbon, soil texture, water content, temperature, soil pH, N fertilization, and redox status play significant roles in modulating the response of soil N cycling to HM contamination. …”
