The Holy Grail: highlighting the need for equitable access to dementia treatments and clinical trials by Rebekah M. Ahmed, Olivier Piguet, Catherine J. Mummery, Sharon L. Naismith, Muireann Irish

“…Many clinical trials for dementia patients are biased to recruiting a homogenous group of patients that does not represent cultural and linguistic diversity, meaning the generalisability of trials is limited. …”

Spatiotemporal Patterns Formed by a Discrete Nutrient-Phytoplankton Model with Time Delay by Feifan Zhang, Wenjiao Zhou, Lei Yao, Xuanwen Wu, Huayong Zhang

“…In this research, a continuous nutrient-phytoplankton model with time delay and Michaelis–Menten functional response is discretized to a spatiotemporal discrete model. Around the homogeneous steady state of the discrete model, Neimark–Sacker bifurcation and Turing bifurcation analysis are investigated. …”

Quelle forêt pour la transition territoriale ? by Simon Lacourt

“…The specialisation of each component of the landscape erases an original organisation which is of a hybrid and heterogeneous nature and cultural and urbanised landscapes have become simpler and more homogenous. The city and agriculture are either reinventing new forms or seeking innovative solutions in a new territorial organisation, but what about the forest in this territorial transition? …”

Adaptive Synchronization of Complex Networks with Mixed Probabilistic Coupling Delays via Pinning Control by Jian-An Wang

“…By adding adaptive feedback controllers to a small fraction of network nodes, a low-dimensional pinning sufficient condition is obtained, which can guarantee that the network asymptotically synchronizes to a homogenous trajectory in mean square sense. Simultaneously, two simple pinning synchronization criteria are derived from the proposed condition. …”

Imaging Internal Defects with Synthetic and Experimental Data by Hongwei Zhou, Guanghui Hu, Ling Ma

“…This work concerns an inverse time-dependent electromagnetic scattering problem of imaging internal defects in a homogeneous isotropic medium. The position and cross section of the defects are detected by transient electromagnetic pulses in the case of TE polarization. …”

On dynamics and stability of thin periodic cylindrical shells by Barbara Tomczyk

“…Moreover, in contrast with models obtained by the known asymptotic homogenization technique, the proposed one makes it possible to describe the effect of the period length on the overall shell behavior, called a length-scale effect.…”

Application of lacrimal gland ultrasonography in the evaluation of chronic ocular graft-versus-host-disease by Mingxia Zhong, Siyuan Liu, Jinghan Luo, Qin Zhang, Zhou Yang, Shanshan Zhang

“…The thick diameter in lacrimal ultrasonography demonstrated significantly positive correlations with tear meniscus height (r=0.404, p<0.01), and significantly negative correlations with OSDI (r=-0.273, p<0.05), corneal staining scores (r=-0.264, p<0.05), nasal conjunctival staining scores (r=-0.271, p<0.05) and staining total scores (r=-0.312, p<0.05). Homogeneity and parenchymal vascularization were not found to be significantly correlated with ocular surface status.ConclusionThe ocular surface condition in oGVHD patients is worse than that observed in non-GVHD patients. …”

Choice white grease used for manufacturing a protein-encapsulated fat blend source for neonatal calves by David P. Casper, Mark F. Scott

“…The use of PEF blends improves fat mixability to ensure MR when mixed and fed as a homogeneous solution for neonatal calves. A new alternative PEF based on choice white grease (CWG) has been developed to improve its mixability and solubility to ensure a homogeneous MR solution. …”

Fructosamine measurement for diabetes mellitus diagnosis and monitoring: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol by Andre Pascal Kengne, Eugene Sobngwi, Jean Jacques N Noubiap, Jobert Richie N Nansseu, Joël Fokom-Domgue, Eric V Balti

“…We will assess clinical heterogeneity by examining the types of interventions and outcomes in each study, and pool studies judged to be clinically homogeneous. We will also assess statistical heterogeneity using the χ2 test of homogeneity and quantify it using the I2 statistic. …”

Profiling gene alterations in striatonigral neurons associated with incubation of methamphetamine craving by cholera toxin subunit B-based fluorescence-activated cell sorting by Rachel D. Altshuler, Megan A. M. Burke, Kristine T. Garcia, Kenneth Class, Raffaello Cimbro, Xuan Li, Xuan Li

“…Finally, we examined gene expressions in DS homogenates, to demonstrate cell-type specificity of gene alterations observed on abstinence day 28.ResultsOn abstinence day 1, we found mRNA expression of Gabrb3 decreased only in CTb-positive (but not CTb-negative) neurons of Meth rats compared with saline rats, while mRNA expression of Usp7 decreased in all sorted DS neurons. …”

Hopf Bifurcation in a Cobweb Model with Discrete Time Delays by Luca Gori, Luca Guerrini, Mauro Sodini
