A fractional mathematical model for assessing cancer risk due to smoking habits by Anil Chavada, Nimisha Pathak, Sagar R. Khirsariya

“…The model uses the ABC fractional derivative to describe the transmission dynamics of cancer caused by the smoking habit. We employed the Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method to find the numerical and graphical results of the model and we achieved a good level of accuracy. …”

The interpretation of [+distal] in demonstratives and complementizers by Staps Camil, Rooryck Johan

“…This article argues that the [+distal] feature of demonstrative that is also present in complementizer that, and has not bleached away. In particular, we argue that complementizer that is referential: it refers to an element in the Shared Discourse Space (an extension of the Common Ground) that can be seen as distal. …”

Doubling constructions and tensor product L-functions: coverings of the symplectic group by Eyal Kaplan

“…In this work, we develop an integral representation for the partial L-function of a pair $\pi \times \tau $ of genuine irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations, $\pi $ of the m-fold covering of Matsumoto of the symplectic group $\operatorname {\mathrm {Sp}}_{2n}$ and $\tau $ of a certain covering group of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_k$ , with arbitrary m, n and k. …”

Study on Deformation and Permeation Properties of Gas-Containing Fractured Rock by Yushun Yang, Dongming Zhang, Shujian Li

“…The axial strain-deviatoric curves of specimens conform to linear function when confining pressure is 8.6 MPa or 2.0 MPa at different axial stress levels; (3) we used the permeability damage rate and maximum permeability damage rate to evaluate the recovery degree and reduction extent of permeability; (4) we used the volume expansion ratio and the maximum volume expansion ratio to evaluate the expansion degree and increase extent of rock samples’ volume.…”
