Investigation of Swirling Flows in Mixing Chambers by Jyh Jian Chen, Chun Huei Chen

“…At larger Reynolds number, Re>15, more inertia caused the powerful swirling flows in the chamber, and more damping effect on diffusion was diminished, which then increased the mixing performance.…”

Dufour Effect on Transient MHD Double Convection Flow of Fractionalized Second-Grade Fluid with Caputo–Fabrizio Derivative by Imran Siddique, Sehrish Ayaz, Fahd Jarad

“…This article presents the problem, in which we study the unsteady double convection flow of a magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) differential-type fluid flow in the presence of heat source, Newtonian heating, and Dufour effect over an infinite vertical plate with fractional mass diffusion and thermal transports. The constitutive equations for the mass flux and thermal flux are modeled for noninteger-order derivative Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) with nonsingular kernel, respectively. …”

A continuous phenotype space model of RNA virus evolution within a host by Andrei Korobeinikov, Conor Dempsey

“…Due to their very high replication and mutation rates, RNA virusescan serve as an excellent testing model for verifying hypothesis andaddressing questions in evolutionary biology.In this paper, we suggest a simple deterministic mathematical modelof the within-host viral dynamics, where a possibility for random mutations incorporates.This model assumes a continuous distribution of viral strainsin a one-dimensional phenotype space where random mutations aremodelled by Brownian motion (that is, by diffusion).Numerical simulations show that randommutations combined with competition for a resource result in evolutiontowards higher Darwinian fitness: a stable pulse traveling waveof evolution, moving towards higher levels of fitness,is formed in the phenotype space.The advantage of this model, compared with the previously constructedmodels, is that this model is mechanistic and is based on commonlyaccepted model of virus dynamics within a host, and thus it allowsan incorporation of features of the real-life host-virus system such as immuneresponse, antiviral therapy, etc.…”

Antifungal Activity and Composition of Essential Oils of Conyza canadensis Herbs and Roots by Katalin Veres, Boglárka Csupor-Löffler, Andrea Lázár, Judit Hohmann

“…The antimicrobial activities of the oils were tested on Gram-positive (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria, reference fungal strains, and fungal strains isolated from patients (Candida, Cryptococcus, Trichophyton, Rhodotorula, and Aspergillus) by agar disc diffusion and broth dilution methods. None of the oils showed any activity against the tested bacterial strains, but exhibited moderate-to-strong activity against all fungi with the only exception of A. fumigatus. …”
