Stability of Virus Infection Models with Antibodies and Chronically Infected Cells by Mustafa A. Obaid, A. M. Elaiw

“…We have proven that, the uninfected steady state is globally asymptotically stable (GAS) if R0<1, the infected steady state without antibody immune response exists and it is GAS if R1<1<R0, and the infected steady state with antibody immune response exists and it is GAS if R1>1. We check our theorems with numerical simulation in the end.…”

Political Tool of “Immoral Rituals” and Resilience of Buddhism in Chosŏn Korea by Nam-lin Hur

“…Based on an analysis of four episodes in which Buddhist prayer rituals were denounced as immoral rituals, the article suggests that the Confucians tried to construct a new collective identity of distinction and privilege, to keep in check the royal family and, by extension, the sovereign, to control the female body, and, in collaboration with the king, to suppress people’s discontent with governance. …”

CP violation in two-meson Tau decays induced by heavy new physics by Daniel A. López Aguilar, Javier Rendón, Pablo Roig

“…Our main finding is that current and forthcoming experiments would be sensitive to the maximum allowed CP rate asymmetry in the K ± K S modes if a precision of 5% is reached on this observable, that can check as well the BaBar anomaly in K S π. For the π ± π 0 channels, new physics would be difficult to probe at present. …”
