Il tempo, il racconto, la scienza e il drago. I libri postumi di Antonino Buttitta e un ricordo di Alberto Sobrero by Federico Scarpelli

“…But its dialogue with the so-called “hard sciences” is also important, for example in bringing to light some of the most significant peculiarities of the human species. An analogous search for an equilibrium between the more humanistic and the more scientific sides of the discipline can be found in Alberto Sobrero’s work, which is discussed in the edited collection, È ora di andare (2022). …”

Delayed population models with Allee effects and exploitation by Eduardo Liz, Alfonso Ruiz-Herrera

“…Using a delay-differential equation modeling the evolution of a single-species population subject to constant effort harvesting, we show that the interplay between harvest strength and Allee effects leads not only to collapses due to overexploitation; large delays can interact with Allee effects to produce extinction at population densities that would survive for smaller time delays.In case of bistability, our estimations on the basins of attraction of the two coexisting attractors improve some recent results in this direction. …”

Features of Human Herpesvirus-6A and -6B Entry by Takahiro Maeki, Yasuko Mori

“…HHV-6 was long classified into variants A and B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B); however, recently, HHV-6A and HHV-6B were reclassified as different species. The process of herpesvirus entry into target cells is complicated, and in the case of HHV-6A and HHV-6B, the detailed mechanism remains to be elucidated, although both viruses are known to enter cells via endocytosis. …”
