A male-female mathematical model of human papillomavirus (HPV) in African American population by Najat Ziyadi

“…We introduce mathematical human papillomavirus (HPV) epidemic models (with and without vaccination) for African American females (AAF) and African American males (AAM) with 'fitted' logistic demographics and use these models to study the HPV disease dynamics. The US Census Bureau data of AAF and AAM of 16 years and older from 2000 to 2014 is used to 'fit' the logistic demographic models. …”

Conformal field theory and the web of quantum chaos diagnostics by Jonah Kudler-Flam, Laimei Nie, Shinsei Ryu

“…With the observation that all three quantities may be obtained by different analytic continuations of the torus partition function, we address the connections and distinctions between the information that each quantity provides us. In this process, we study the emergence of irrationality from “large-N” limits of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) as well as the explicit breakdown of rationality for theories with central charges greater than the number of their conserved currents. …”

Influence of Trust, Time Pressure and Complexity Factors in Judgment and Decision-Making in Auditing by Cleston Santos, Paulo Cunha

“…The results indicated that a higher level of confidence increases the auditor’s propensity to perform the accounting adjustment and that time pressure and complexity decrease the auditor’s propensity to perform the proposed adjustment. These findings allow us to infer that the factors of trust, time pressure, and complexity, both individually and jointly influence judgment and decision-making. …”

N-topo nilpotency in fuzzy neighborhood rings by T. M. G. Ahsanullah, Fawzi Al-Thukair

“…Here we show that a fuzzy neighborhood ring is locally inversely bounded if and only if for all 0<α<1, the α-level topological rings are locally inversely bounded. This leads us to prove a characterization theorem which says that if a fuzzy neighborhood ring on a division ring is Wuyts-Lowen WNT2 and locally inversely bounded, then the fuzzy neighborhood ring is a fuzzy neighborhood division ring. …”

La construction des catégories diagnostiques de maladie mentale by Cédric Brun, Steeves Demazeux, Pierangelo Di Vittorio, François Gonon, Philippe Gorry, Jan Peter Konsman, Fanny Lung, Yannick Lung, Michel Minard, Matthieu Montalban, Nicole Rumeau, Andy Smith

“…Illustrated by the example of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), this way of analysing the political work carried out by different actors (pharmaceutical firms, parent of patient associations, the school system, the state, the wealth system, etc.) discerns their respective roles and, in particular, enables research to understand considerable differences between the French and US cases. More than just enlightening ethical questions in the field of mental health, studying the production of scientific discourse about a specific illness identifies the economy of research financing and of scientific publication that drives actor interactions and interdependencies.…”
