Preface to Special Issue in Honor of Carlos Castillo-Chavez by Simon A. Levin

“…A little more than a quarter-century ago, I received an inquiry from a young Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Tulsa, the honoree of this volume, Carlos Castillo-Chavez. Though he was well situated in a faculty job, he was not satisfied: He was interested in mathematical biology, having written an excellent thesis in population biology with Fred Brauer at Wisconsin entitled Linear and Nonlinear Deterministic Character-Dependent Models with Time Delay in Population Dynamics. …”

Compliance of Time Sensitive Network Protocol with the Specifications of MIL-STD-1553B Standard for Aviation Applications by Fakhroddin Nazari, Rasoul Hajizadeh, Mohammad Abbasi

“…OMNET++ software is used for implementation, and simulation results show that delays have been less compared to the 1553 bus, and while the size of these delays remains constant, their amount is almost constant under conditions where there is an increase in data volume and its transfer rate. The proposed time-sensitive protocol reduces the average maximum network delay by 86 percent.…”

Influences of the Kuroshio on the salinity budget of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan by Matsuda Kazuki, Uchiyama Yusuke

“…Our findings indicate that the fluctuations of salinity fluxes were influenced by the position of the Kuroshio axis and were highly correlated with the associated volume fluxes. The clockwise eastward transport from Bungo to Kii varies seasonally with an increase in winter and a decrease or counterclockwise increase in summer. …”

Study on Statistical Damage Theory Model of Tailings in a Metal Ore under the Action of Moisture Absorption and Dehumidification Circulation by Bing Cao, Hua Wei, Mei-Qi Dou, Lin Hu, Yao-hui Guo

“…Giving full consideration of the change of tailing sand’s pore and volume in the deformation process, an improved statistical damage constitutive model is proposed; it can reflect that the residual strength of tailings after the peak value still has bearing capacity under the action of dry wet circulation. …”

Mechanical behaviour of sandy soils embankments treated with cement and reinforced with discrete elements (fibres) by Mohamed Bouteben Yasmine, Boudaoud Zeineddine

“…Furthermore, those contents are measured by the volume of dry sand. In addition to these tests, the mechanical properties of two types of reinforced sand obtained experimentally, were used in a numerical analysis of a road embankment using a finite element program such as Plaxis 2D in order to observe the variation of different parameters like safety factor and the displacements (Ut, Ux, Uy). …”
