A novel mathematical model of light scattering by an oriented monodisperse system of triaxial dielectric ellipsoids of complex index of refraction is presented. It is based on an integral equation solution to the scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by a single triaxial dielectric ellipsoid. Both the position and the orientation of a single representative scatterer in a given coordinate system are considered arbitrary. A Monte Carlo simulation is developed to reproduce the diffraction pattern of a population of aligned ellipsoids. As an example of practical importance, light scattering by a population of erythrocytes subjected to intense shear stress is modeled. Agreement with experimental observations and the anomalous diffraction theory is illustrated. Thus a novel check of the electromagnetic basis of ektacytometry is provided. Furthermore, the versatility of the integral equation method, particularly in the advent of parallel processing systems, is demonstrated.

College of Mathematics, Taiyuan University of Technology, Taiyuan 030024, China.
Under investigation in this paper is the integrable and non-integrable fractional discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchies. The linear dispersion relations, completeness relations, inverse scattering transform, and fractional soliton solutions of the integrable fractional discrete modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy will be explored. The inverse scattering problem will be solved accurately by constructing Gel'fand-Levitan-Marchenko equations and Riemann-Hilbert problem.

Objective: Sexual assault perpetration is widespread among young men. According to the Confluence Model, hostile masculinity and impersonal sex are trait-level factors associated with sexual assault perpetration likelihood. Additionally, state-level factors, including alcohol intoxication, current emotions, and ability to modulate one's emotions, have been tied to sexual assault perpetration via the I3 Model.

This paper introduces a novel approach for the offline estimation of stationary moving average processes, further extending it to efficient online estimation of non-stationary processes. The novelty lies in a unique technique to solve the autocorrelation function matching problem leveraging that the autocorrelation function of a colored noise is equal to the autocorrelation function of the coefficients of the moving average process. This enables the derivation of a system of nonlinear equations to be solved for estimating the model parameters.

Background: Cholera outbreaks are surging worldwide. Growing research supports case-area targeted interventions (CATIs), whereby teams provide a package of interventions to case and neighboring households, as an effective strategy in cholera outbreak control, particularly in humanitarian settings. While research exists on individual CATI interventions, research gaps exist on outcomes of integrated interventions during CATI responses.

Background: Currently, there are no standardized guidelines for graft allocation in heart transplants (HTxs), particularly when considering organs from marginal donors and donors after cardiocirculatory arrest. This complexity highlights the need for an effective risk analysis tool for primary graft dysfunction (PGD), a severe complication in HTx. Existing score systems for predicting PGD lack superior predictive capability and are often too complex for routine clinical use.
