A mathematical model consisting of a system of two ordinary differential equations is formulated to represent the interrelationship between healthy and radiated cells at a given cite. Three different modes of radiation are ...

We study the attractivity properties of equilibrium points of the scalar delay difference equation xn+1-xn= -δxn+pf(xn-k) which arises in many contexts in the ecology. New sufficient conditions for the global stability of ...

Background: The lactase persistent (LP) or lactase nonpersistent (LNP) state in European adults is genetically determined by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located 13.9 kb upstream of the lactase (LCT) gene, known ...

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) is the viral agent causing the most important economic losses in livestock throughout the world. Infection of fetuses before their immunological maturity ...

consider a single species population obeying a saturated growth model with spatial diffusion taken into account explicitly. Strong spatial heterogeneity is considered, represented by a position dependent reproduction rate. ...
