The spread of an epidemic process is considered in the context of a spatial SIR stochastic model that includes a parameter 0 ≤ p ≤ 1 that assigns weights p and 1−p to global and local infective contacts respectively. The ...

This paper proposes a method for segmentation of cell nuclei regions in epithelium of prostate glands. This structure provides information to diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. In the initial step, the contrast ...

For a class of drift–diffusion systems Kurokiba et al. [M. Kurokiba, T. Nagai, T. Ogawa, The uniform boundedness and threshold for the global existence of the radial solution to a drift–diffusion system, Commun. Pure ...

We present a way to manipulate an electron trapped in a layered quantum dot based on near-threshold properties of one-body potentials. First, we show that potentials with a simple global parameter allow the manipulation ...

This paper quantifies the potential benefit of limiting the global warming to 1.5 C above the preindustrial level on the high-latitude climate of the Southern Hemisphere compared to 2.0 C and above. A set of Coupled Model ...

Thalamocortical neurons are involved in the generation and maintenance of brain rhythms associated with global functional states. The repetitive burst firing of TC neurons at delta frequencies (1-4 Hz) has been linked to ...
