Directional entropy based model for diffusivity-driven tumor growth by Marcelo E. de Oliveira, Luiz M. G. Neto

“…In our formulation, the tumor aggressiveness and morphological behavior is tissue-type dependent, i.e. alterations in white and gray matter regions (which can e.g. be induced by normal aging in healthy individuals or neurodegenerative diseases) affect both tumor growth rates and their morphology.The feasibility of this new conceptual approach is supported by previous observations that the fractal dimension, which correlates with the Shannon entropy we calculate, is a quantitative parameter that characterizes the variability of brain tissue, thus, justifying the further evaluation of this new conceptual approach.…”

Improving the Complexity of the Lorenz Dynamics by María Pilar Mareca, Borja Bordel

“…First return maps, Poincaré sections, and bifurcation diagrams allow characterizing the global system behavior and locating some coexisting structures. Numerical results about the first return maps, Poincaré cross sections, Lyapunov spectrum, and Kaplan-Yorke dimension demonstrate the complexity of the proposed equations.…”

Effect of pH on the Phase Equilibrium of a Ternary Mixture of Neopentyl Glycol, Salt, and Water by Y. Zhang, D. G. Li

“…The results showed that the two-phase region expanded, and both the length and slope of the tie-lines increased with rising pH values. The phase behavior was analyzed using the Bancroft, Othmer-Tobias, and Hand equations, the measured data showing acceptable consistency, and the Bancroft equation providing the best fit. …”

A mathematical model for treatment-resistant mutations of HIV by Helen Moore, Weiqing Gu

“…We perform our analysis by changing thesystem of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to a simplesingle-variable ODE, then identifying equilibria and determining stability.We carry out numerical calculations that illustrate the behavior of thesystem. We also examine the effects of various treatment regimens on thedevelopment of treatment-resistant mutations of HIV in this model.…”

L’économie de la responsabilité sociétale d’entreprise (RSE) :éléments de méthode institutionnaliste by Jean-Pierre Chanteau

“…The second part shows that: a) the current CSR-quality signals do not fit the required institutional conditions of identity, compliance and profitability so they cannot set the CSR prosocial behavior as a widespread though non legal norm; b) a managerial-type CSR and a political-type CSR are trying for two very different ways of operating business and governing firms.…”
