Unlocking ginsenosides’ therapeutic power with polymer-based delivery systems: current applications and future perspectives by Xiaomin Yu, Xiaomin Yu, Yun Lu, Yun Lu, Jiajing Chen, Yuqian Deng, Huan Liu

“…To address these challenges, polymeric carriers—valued for their excellent biocompatibility, structural tunability, and intelligent response functions—have been engineered to: (i) enhance solubilization via polymer conjugation and amphiphilic micellar encapsulation; (ii) achieve passive (EPR-mediated) and active (ligand-directed) tumor targeting to minimize off-target distribution; and (iii) enable on-demand drug release through pH-, ROS-, temperature-, and enzyme-responsive designs. …”

Control problem for the impulse process under stochastic optimization procedure and Levy conditions by Ya. M. Chabanyuk, A. V. Nikitin, U. T. Khimka

“…In particular we discuss how the behavior of the boundary process depends on the prelimiting stochastic evolutionary system in the ergodic Markov environment. The main assumption is the condition for uniform ergodicity of the Markov switching process, that is, the existence of a stationary distribution for the switching process over large time intervals. …”

3D Finite Element Electrical Model of Larval Zebrafish ECG Signals. by James Crowcombe, Sundeep Singh Dhillon, Rhiannon Mary Hurst, Stuart Egginton, Ferenc Müller, Attila Sík, Edward Tarte

“…In order to better understand how a measured ECG waveform is related to the structure of the heart, its position within the larva and the position of the electrodes, a 3D model of a 3 days post fertilisation (dpf) larval zebrafish was developed to simulate cardiac electrical activity and investigate the voltage distribution throughout the body. The geometry consisted of two main components; the zebrafish body was modelled as a homogeneous volume, while the heart was split into five distinct regions (sinoatrial region, atrial wall, atrioventricular band, ventricular wall and heart chambers). …”

A trial of evaluation based on multiplicative multivariate model for non-stationary road traffic noise by M. OHTA, Y. FUJITA

“…Since the non-stationary fluctuation of actual acoustic environment like the road traffic noise within a long time interval is usually caused not by the change of merely additional external noise but by the essential change of internal factors themselves, it is reasonable to give as a mathematical model of this non-stationary fluctuation not an additive model but a multiplicative model. In this paper, mainly from a methodological viewpoint, first, the characteristic function method of Mellin transform type for the above multiplicative model is introduced and a new unified expression form of the probability density function within a long time interval is derived in an expansion form based on the probability density function within a short time interval of local stationary type as its first expansion term with distribution parameters reflecting hierarchically various types linear and nonlinear correlation information.…”
