Analysis of global dynamics in an attraction-repulsion model with nonlinear indirect signal and logistic source by Chang-Jian Wang, Jia-Yue Zhu

“…\end{equation*} $\end{document} under the boundary conditions of $ \frac{\partial{v}}{\partial{\nu}} = \frac{\partial{w_{1}}}{\partial{\nu}} = \frac{\partial{w}}{\partial{\nu}} = \frac{\partial{w_{2}}}{\partial{\nu}} $ on $ \partial \Omega, $ where $ \Omega $ was a bounded smooth domain of $ \mathbb{R}^{n}(n\geq 1), \; \nu $ was the normal vector of $ \partial\Omega, $ and the parameters were $ \lambda, \mu, \xi, \chi, \kappa_{1}, \; \kappa_{2}, \kappa_{3} > 0, $ and $ \kappa > 1. $ In this paper, we showed that if either $ \kappa_{1}\kappa_{2} < \max\{\frac{2}{n}, \kappa_{3}, \kappa-1\} $ or $ \kappa_{1}\kappa_{2} = \max\{\frac{2}{n}, \kappa_{3}, \kappa-1\} $ with the coefficients and initial data satisfying appropriate conditions, then the system possessed a global classical solution. …”

Effect of Core Temperature on the Oxidation of Lipids and Proteins During Steam Cooking of Large-Mouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) by Keyu Wang, Yulong Bao, Hongxu Yang, Yong Wang, Dongpo Chen, Joe M. Regenstein, Peng Zhou

“…Steaming caused a significant increase in the peroxide value (PV) and the thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) value, accompanied by the decreased proportion of unsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid and linoleic acid, which was related to the lipid oxidation and the increase in volatile aldehydes as indicated by the partial least squares analysis. The protein oxidation can be reflected by the significant decrease of total thiol groups, combined with the aggregation as shown in SDS-PAGE and the increase in particle size at pre-digestive phase. …”

Influence of Microscopic Parameters on the Stress-Strain Relation in Rocks by Yanhui Cheng, Weijun Yang

“…This paper studies the influence of microscopical characteristic parameters, such as particle contact stiffness ratio, parallel bond stiffness ratio, particle contact modulus, and parallel bond elastic modulus, on the stress-strain relation in rocks, which shows that (1) The range of particle contact stiffness ratio kn/ks largely varies, but the stress-strain relation curve is relatively small. …”
