Reforming the innovation system to deliver affordable medicines: a conceptual framework of pharmaceutical innovation as a complex adaptive system (forest) and theory of change by Suerie Moon, Adrian Alonso Ruiz, Marcela C. F. Vieira, Kaitlin E. Large, Iulia Slovenski

“…Finally, we identified from the literature an initial list of ‘levers’ of change in the PIS, supplemented them with additional levers found in each niche, then compared across niches.Results We found that actors created niches in the broader system by purposefully problematising an issue, then pulling on one or more of three levers: mobilising new resources, changing the roles of or creating new actors, and/or changing societal norms or legal rules. …”

Thermodynamics of Charged Rotating Dilaton Black Branes Coupled to Logarithmic Nonlinear Electrodynamics by A. Sheykhi, M. H. Dehghani, M. Kord Zangeneh

“…We derive temperature, electric potential, and entropy associated with the horizon and check the validity of the first law of thermodynamics on the black brane horizon. We study thermal stability of the solutions in both canonical and grand-canonical ensemble and disclose the effects of the rotation parameter, nonlinearity of electrodynamics, and dilaton field on the thermal stability conditions. …”

The Role and Therapeutic Potential of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Tumor Neovascularization by Branislava Janic, Ali S. Arbab

“…Due to their ability to self-renew, circulate, home to the ischemic sites, and differentiate into mature endothelial cells, EPCs hold enormous potential to be used as a diagnostic and/or therapeutic agent in antitumor therapies. Hence, this review focuses on EPCs and their role in tumor angiogenesis with the emphasis on EPC recruitment/migration, and the potential use of EPCs as a therapeutic tool and imaging probe.…”

APPLICATION OF HARMONIC FUNCTION’S THEORY IN TWO-DIMENSION OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM by ZHANG Jing, SHI WenPu

“…The mathematical models of many engineering problems can often come down to two-dimensional optimization problems,it has been one of the hot issues of seeking the high effective and precision optimizing method.The characteristics of harmonic function and Green theory were used to study the relations between the values of harmonic function and its boundary values,and demonstrate the non-locality of its extreme value.When the objective function of the optimization is harmonic function,the two-dimensional optimization can be simplified as a one-dimensional optimization on the boundary of its feasible region.At last,three examples were given to show the feasibility of the method here.The research ideas and the conclusions can be generalized to the solution of the three-dimensional optimization problems.…”
