Evolution of uncontrolled proliferation and the angiogenic switch in cancer by John D. Nagy, Dieter Armbruster

“…Intriguingly, this energy dynamic allows an evolutionary stable angiogenesis strategy, but this strategy is an evolutionary repeller, leading to runaway selection for extreme vascular hypo- or hyperplasia. The former case yields a tumor-on-a-tumor, or hypertumor, as predicted in other studies, and the latter case may explain vascular hyperplasia evident in certain tumor types.…”

Discrete Coupling and Synchronization in the Insulin Release in the Mathematical Model of the β Cells by L. J. Ontañón-García, E. Campos-Cantón

“…The approach considers two steps, the former is a mechanism on how to force β cells to switch from silent phase to active, the latter is based on how to deal with in phase synchronization between active β cells. …”

Mediator decay through mixing with degenerate spectrum by Ayuki Kamada, Takumi Kuwahara, Shigeki Matsumoto, Yu Watanabe, Yuki Watanabe

“…When the mass mixing between the vector boson and dark photon is smaller (larger) than the decay width of the vector boson, the latter (former) method to calculate the decay rate of the mediator particle gives the correct result.…”

Studying Impacts of Urban Impermeability on Fear of Crime Using the Space Syntax Method; The Kuruçeşme Neighborhood as the Case Study by Meysam Soleimani, Maryam Golabi

“…The findings reveal that physical cues perceived as signs of danger are different in public areas characterized with excessive permeability or severe impermeability. The former suffers from a lack of “natural surveillance” and physical disorders, while the latter engenders extreme “territoriality”, resulting in social incivilities. …”

Bayesian Probabilistic Framework for Damage Identification of Steel Truss Bridges under Joint Uncertainties by Wei Zheng, Yi Yu

“…When such approach is applied for truss bridges, truss joints are usually modeled as either simple hinges or rigid connections. The former could lead to model uncertainties due to the discrepancy between physical configurations and their mathematical models, while the latter could induce model parameter uncertainties due to difficulty in obtaining accurate model parameters of complex joint details. …”

High-Directivity Antenna Array Based on Artificial Electromagnetic Metamaterials with Low Refractive Index by Zhigang Xiao, Jiang Yao, Shaoquan Yin

“…Furthermore, on the condition of the same aperture size, an array patch with 4 × 4 elements integrated with the MTMs-cover has an equivalent gain compared with the conventional patch array with 16 × 16 array elements. Obviously, the former has a simpler feeding network and higher aperture efficiency. …”

Postprocessing of Accidental Scenarios by Semi-Supervised Self-Organizing Maps by Francesco Di Maio, Roberta Rossetti, Enrico Zio

“…To address this issue, in this paper we propose the use of an ensemble of Semi-Supervised Self-Organizing Maps (SSSOMs) whose outcomes are combined by a locally weighted aggregation according to two strategies: a locally weighted aggregation and a decision tree based aggregation. In the former, we resort to the Local Fusion (LF) principle for accounting the classification reliability of the different SSSOM classifiers, whereas in the latter we build a classification scheme to select the appropriate classifier (or ensemble of classifiers), for the type of scenario to be classified. …”

The $ L_1 $-induced norm analysis for linear multivariable differential equations by Junghoon Kim, Jung Hoon Kim

“…Because such an analysis requires integrating the absolute value of the associated impulse response on the infinite-interval $ [0, \infty) $, this interval was divided into $ [0, H) $ and $ [H, \infty) $, with the truncation parameter $ H $. The former was divided into $ M $ subintervals with an equal width, and the kernel function of the relevant input\slash output operator on each subinterval was approximated by a $ p $th order polynomial with $ p = 0, 1, 2, 3 $. …”
