Mathematical Modeling of the Transmission of Foot And Mouth Disease Virus in Cloven-Hooved Animals. by Mbasa, Nikora

“…(That is, if r(+ BI) > RS" Furthermore, we show that if the product of the infection rate, an exposure rate, and the population growth rate r is less than the product of the sum a + µ, and 6 + y +µthen the disease-free equilibrium will be stable (that is; a{]r < (a + +)(6 + y + µ), where 8, y are the disease-induced death rate and recovery rates, respectively). …”

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 is a potent prognostic factor associated with cell proliferation and migration in prostate cancer by Ai Sato, Kiyoshi Takagi, Mio Yamaguchi-Tanaka, Jotaro Okushima, Yuto Yamazaki, Akihiro Ito, Takashi Suzuki

“…However, the clinical and biological significance of MMP3 has not been well elucidated.We therefore immunolocalized MMP3 in prostate cancer tissues (n = 117) and demonstrated that MMP3 immunoreactivity was correlated with aggressive phenotype of prostate cancer, including higher proliferation/invasion ability, and shorter disease-free survival. In addition, subsequent in vitro analysis revealed that overexpression of MMP3 significantly increased the proliferative and migratory abilities of PC-3 and DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines, depending on conditioned media from WMPY-1 prostate stromal cells.It was concluded that MMP3 might contribute to prostate cancer progression by modifying the ECM surrounding prostate cancer cells and could serve as a potent prognostic factor in prostate cancer.…”

Orbital-order as the driving mechanism for superconductivity in ruthenates by Álvaro Adrián Carrasco Álvarez, Sébastien Petit, Wilfrid Prellier, Manuel Bibes, Julien Varignon

“…While the Jahn-Teller effect is at the core of a strong electron-phonon coupling producing insulating states and orbital and bond orderings, its implication in superconductivity remains unobserved. Here, with parameter-free first-principles calculations, we reveal that superconductivity in A2RuO4 (A = Sr, Ca) emerges due to an electron-phonon mechanism associated with the proximity of an orbital and bond-ordered phase. …”

Dynamics of revolving D-branes at short distances by Satoshi Iso, Noriaki Kitazawa, Hikaru Ohta, Takao Suyama

“…The method is to perform the modular transformation partially in the moduli parameter and rewrite the amplitude into a sum of contributions from both of the open and closed string massless modes. It is nevertheless free from the double counting and can approximate the open string amplitudes with less than 3% accuracy. …”

Aryanization Bureaucrats in Post-Holocaust Romania by Stefan Cristian Ionescu

“…However, most of these opportunistic bureaucrats were successful only in the short term; eventually their past caught up with them, and they were imprisoned by the communist authorities or had to flee the country to escape arrest. The article shows that the communist revolution was not as radical as the communist leaders liked to boast and that it did not immediately bring a complete transformation of the state, its institutions, and employees holding crucial positions. …”

The physics of meaning: More than inhuman? by Hartley John

“…The ambition of this paper is to say that if “cultural science” accepts the need to rethink culture along scientific rather than just critical lines, then at the same time physics must rethink its own commitment to “culture-free” methodology. That has only yielded what we might call “meaningless universe theory,” without addressing ways that physics as a discourse is strongly marked by culture, with the usual signs of gender, race, and hegemony present in its methods. …”
