Blood coagulation dynamics: mathematicalmodeling and stability results by Adélia Sequeira, Rafael F. Santos, Tomáš Bodnár

“…Coagulation is initiated in response to endothelial surface vascular injury or certain biochemical stimuli, by the exposure of plasma to Tissue Factor (TF), that activates platelets and the coagulation cascade, inducing clot formation, growth and lysis.In recent years considerable advances have contributed to understand this highly complex process and some mathematical and numerical models have been developed. …”

The Rise of Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Glia Models of Neuroinflammation by Srishti Kala, Andrew G. Strutz, Moriah E. Katt

“…This review systematically discusses the role of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived glia and supporting cells within the CNS, including astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, pericytes, and endothelial cells, to describe the state of the field and hope for future discoveries. hPSC-derived cells offer an expanded potential to study the pathobiology of neuroinflammation and immunomodulatory cascades that impact disease progression. While much progress has been made in the development of models, there is much left to explore in the application of these models to understand the complex inflammatory response in the CNS.…”

PAI-1: An Integrator of Cell Signaling and Migration by Ralf-Peter Czekay, Cynthia E. Wilkins-Port, Stephen P. Higgins, Jennifer Freytag, Jessica M. Overstreet, R. Matthew Klein, Craig E. Higgins, Rohan Samarakoon, Paul J. Higgins

“…These events appear distinct from the original function of uPA/PAI-1 as modulators of the plasmin-based proteolytic cascade. The multifaceted interactions of PAI-1 with specific matrix components (i.e., vitronectin), the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1), and the uPA/uPA receptor complex have dramatic consequences on the migratory phenotype and may underlie the pathophysiologic sequalae of PAI-1 deficiency and overexpression. …”

Emphasizing the Early Phases of the Software Development Process Before Deploying Smart Contracts by Juan-Carlos Lopez-Pimentel, Carolina del-Valle-Soto, Leonardo J. Valdivia, Raul Monroy

“…The case is analyzed from three different perspectives: 1) Economic, finding that re-deploying smart contracts does not implicate considerable cost; 2) Computational perspective, finding that it generates various implications: smart contract purpose duplication, storage wastage, failure to recognize the original smart contract, cascade dependency repercussion, and migration problems; and 3) Interconnected effect, a simple change, required for upgrading smart contracts, generates broad collateral repercussions in both on-chain (within the blockchain) and off-chain.…”

Analysis and Prediction of the Interval Duration between the First and Second Accidents considering the Spatiotemporal Threshold by Fang Liu, Lanlan Zheng, Mingyang Li, Jinjun Tang

“…First, the spatiotemporal definition method is applied to identify the cascaded first accident and the second accident. Then, on the basis of using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure and Bartlett’s sphere test statistics to ensure the applicability of the data to the factor analysis method, the explanatory variables that can significantly affect the interval duration are obtained through the factor analysis method. …”
