Aging-Shifted Prostaglandin Profile in Endothelium as a Factor in Cardiovascular Disorders by Hao Qian, Na Luo, Yuling Chi

“…Endothelium-synthesized prostaglandins and thromboxane are local hormones, which mediate vasodilation and vasoconstriction and critically maintain vascular homeostasis. Accumulating evidence indicates that the age-related changes in endothelial eicosanoids contribute to decline in endothelium function and are associated with pathological dysfunction. …”

Qualitative and Computational Analysis of a Mathematical Model for Tumor-Immune Interactions by F. A. Rihan, M. Safan, M. A. Abdeen, D. Abdel Rahman

“…The possibility of clearing the tumor, with a strategy, is based on two parameters in the model: the rate of influx of the effector cells and the rate of influx of IL-2. The critical tumor-growth rate, below which endemic tumor does not exist, has been found. …”

The Existence of Periodic Solutions of Delay Differential Equations by E+-Conley Index Theory by Huafeng Xiao

“…The variational structure for DDEs is built, and the existence of periodic solutions of DDEs is transferred to that of critical points of the associated function. When DDEs are 2π-nonresonant, some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the existence of periodic solutions. …”

Infinitely Many Solutions for a Generalized Periodic Boundary Value Problem without the Evenness Assumption by Xiaodong Gu, Mingliang Song

“…In this paper, we investigate infinitely many solutions for the generalized periodic boundary value problem −x″−B0tx+B1tx=λ∇xVt,xa.e.t∈0,1,x1=Mx0,x′1=Nx′0 under the potential function Vt,x without the evenness assumption and obtain two new existence results by the multiple critical point theorem. Meanwhile, we give two corollaries for the periodic solutions of second-order Hamiltonian systems and an example that illustrates our results.…”

Devlin P. Morals and Contemporary Social Reality / trans. from Engl. A. B. Didikin, O. A. Radchenko by A. B. Didikin, O. A. Radchenko

“…Based on the recommendations of the Wolfenden Committee which proposed a radical reform of English criminal law in the direction of decriminalizing a few of criminally punishable offences with immoral content, Devlin notes their extreme contradiction in terms of protecting the values of public morals. The chapter also criticizes the key arguments of J. S. Mill’s doctrine of the balance of liberty and state coercion…”
