The Time Delays’ Effects on the Qualitative Behavior of an Economic Growth Model by Carlo Bianca, Massimiliano Ferrara, Luca Guerrini

“…The paper specifically analyzes the effects on the asymptotic dynamics of the Solow model when two time delays are inserted: the time employed in order that the capital is used for production and the necessary time so that the capital is depreciated. The existence of a unique nontrivial positive steady state of the generalized model is proved and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability are established. …”

Progress in the structural modification and pharmacological activity of isosteviol by Tao Wang, Bowen Pan, Lijuan Liu, Zhangchao Dong, Wenhui Zhang, Xiongwei Liu, Ying Zhou, Yang Shi

“…Isosteviol and its derivatives, diterpene compounds with a wide range of biological activities, play important antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, antitumor, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, antifungal, and anticardiovascular disease roles. Because of its unique diterpene skeleton, isosteviol is frequently used as an active framework in drug synthesis, thus helping medicinal chemists design highly selective, potentially active, and multifunctional isosteviol analogs for the treatment of various diseases. …”
