Background: In December 2019, the spread of a new infectious disease was reported in Wuhan, caused by a new coronavirus named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization. This study aims to compare the dispersion of COVID-19 disease among four Iranian cities in North Khorasan named Bojnord, Farooj, Jajarm, and Shirvan.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study includes information about the daily morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 in 1124 patients from March to May 2021.
Background: Cancer, a complex and deadly health concern today, is characterized by forming potentially malignant tumors or cancer cells. The dynamic interaction between these cells and their environment is crucial to the disease. Mathematical models can enhance our understanding of these interactions, helping us predict disease progression and treatment strategies.

Although the disease is preventable, there are still concerns about its continued spread. Without effective prevention or appropriate treatment, TB infection can be fatal to humans.

The model includes five compartments corresponding to the variables describing the susceptible patients, HIV-infected patients, people with AIDS but not receiving antiretroviral treatment, patients being treated, and individuals who are immune to HIV infection by sexual contact. Moreover, it is assumed that the total population is constant.

The diffusion process plays an important role not only in heat transfer and fluid flow problems, but also in the modelling of pattern formation that arises in porous media. The modified time-fractional diffusion equation provides a deeper understanding of several dynamic phenomena.

A new set of basis functions, namely the generalized shifted Legendre polynomials, is proposed to deal with the solutions of F-BCCM. The F-BCCM describes the dynamics involving a variety of cancer factors, such as the stem, tumor and healthy cells, as well as the effects of excess estrogen and the body's natural immune response on the cell populations.

The lifetime of indoor respiratory droplets, per se, is a function of droplet size, ambient temperature, and humidity. In the attempt to explore the effective factors of droplet lifetime, sufficient knowledge of atomic-scale interactions and dynamics of the droplet with themselves, as well as the airflow molecules in the room space, is necessary.

The model is often adopted for describing the anomalous process of nearly sonic speed gas dynamics. The temporal semi-discretization is computed via a finite difference algorithm, while the spatial discretization is obtained using the local radial basis function in a finite difference mode.

We find that gravitational fields (introduced adopting the Schwarzschild and anti-de Sitter geometries) affect both the decoherence process and the quantum speed limit of a quantum particle with spin-1/2. In addition, as a tangible example, we study the effect of the Earth's gravitational field, characterized by the Rindler space-time, on the same particle.
