In this work we present equilibrium and dynamic surface tension together with dilational elasticity data for dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide in the presence of lambda-carrageenan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from algae. The critical aggregation concentration and (CAC) and critical micellar concentration CMC of the mixed system were determined and shown to have a direct influence on the elasticity modulus. The behavior of the adsorption kinetics was shown to be dependent on the surfactant to polyelectrolyte charge ratio or excess species in the bulk solution.

In this study, we developed a Caputo-Fractional Chlamydia pandemic model to describe the disease's spread. We demonstrated the model's positivity and boundedness, ensuring biological relevance. The existence and uniqueness of the model's solution were established, and we investigated the stability of the α-fractional order model.

This study presents a strategy for an intelligent vehicle trajectory tracking system that employs an adaptive robust non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control (ARNFTSMC) approach to address the challenges of uncertain nonlinear dynamics. Initially, a path tracking error system based on mapping error is established, along with a speed tracking error system. Subsequently, a novel ARNFTSMC strategy is introduced to tackle the uncertainties and external perturbations encountered during actual vehicle operation.

The Nipah virus (NiV) poses a pressing global threat to public health due to its high mortality rate, multiple modes of transmission, and lack of effective treatments. NiV glycoprotein G (NiV-G) emerges as a promising target for the discovery of NiV drugs because of its essential role in viral entry and membrane fusion. Therefore, in this study, we applied an integrated computational and biophysics approach to identify potential inhibitors of NiV-G within a curated dataset of Peruvian phytochemicals.

Background: Postural stability is essential for functional independence in the pregnant population. The contradictions between existing studies and the lack of consistent characteristics in the strategies used by pregnant women for postural control demonstrate the need for further investigation.
Objectives: The aim was to review the available literature on postural strategies throughout pregnancy in both static and dynamic conditions and to provide an assessment of the quality of these studies in terms of methodological issues to identify the reasons for the inconsistencies in findings between research centers.

Purpose: This study aims to delineate the operating system of a strategic game model involving three core financial actors-government, banks, and guarantee institutions, with a focus on their collective impact on system evolution towards sustainable SME financing.
Methodology: Utilizing numerical simulations informed by dynamic equation constraints and optimal equilibrium states, this paper abstracts the strategic behaviors of system constituents, constructing a game model to predict and analyze system evolution within various operational contexts.
Results: The simulation experiments reveal the critical role of quality risk information and responsible actor behavior in maintaining low default rates and fostering a sustainable financial system.
