Modeling TB and HIV co-infections by Lih-Ing W. Roeger, Z. Feng, Carlos Castillo-Chávez

“…Here, we consider a highly simplified deterministic model that incorporates the joint dynamics of TB and HIV, a model that is quite hard to analyze. We compute independent reproductive numbers for TB ($\R_1$) and HIV ($\R_2$) and the overall reproductive number for the system, $\R =\max \{\R_1, \R_2\}$. …”

MINERAL FORMATION CONDITIONS IN ACID MAGMATIC SYSTEMS RELATED TO THE FORMATION OF MASSIVE SULFIDE DEPOSITS OF THE URALS AND ALTAI-SAYANY AREA by V.A. Simonov, V.V. Maslennikov, A.V. Kotlyarov

“…The features of rare and rare earth element patterns in melt inclusions in quartz indicate the similarity of acid magmatic systems of massive sulfide deposits in the Urals and Altai-Sayany region with present-day suprasubduction melts in the ocean-continent transition zones. Computational modeling using data on melt inclusions in quartz confirms our previous conclusions (Simonov, Maslennikov, 2020) that the occurrence of contrasting (basic and felsic) volcanic complexes with massive sulfide deposits in the Urals and Altai-Sayany region is a result of evolution of basaltoid magmas.…”

Deterioration of the Internal Structure of Loess under Dry-Wet Cycles by Wanjun Ye, Yang Bai, Chenyang Cui, Xu Duan

“…With an increase in the number and amplitude of dry-wet cycles, the change in the internal friction angle of the strength index is inevident, indicating that the effect of dry-wet cycles on the internal friction angle of loess is insignificant. Computed tomography (CT) scan experiments were also conducted to obtain the evolution of loess cracks before and after a dry-wet cycle. …”

Complexed hyaluronic acid-based nanoparticles in cancer therapy and diagnosis: Research trends by natural language processing by Abd Kakhar Umar, Patanachai K. Limpikirati, Bachtiar Rivai, Ilham Ardiansah, Sriwidodo Sriwidodo, Jittima Amie Luckanagul

“…Strategies like hypoxic conditioning, dual responsiveness, and pulse laser activation enhance controlled release, targeted delivery, and real-time diagnostic techniques like ultrasound imaging and X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT). Based on our findings, conventional bibliometric tools fail to highlight relevant topics in this area, instead producing merely abstract and broad-meaning keywords. …”
