In this paper we characterize the stability boundary in the (α1, α2)-plane, for fixed α3 with −1 < α3 < +1, for the characteristic equation from the title. Subsequently we describe a nonlinear cell population model involving quiescence and show that this characteristic equation governs the (in)stability of the nontrivial steady state. By relating the parameters of the cell model to the αi we are able to derive some biological conclusions.

Climate displaces deposition as dominant driver of dissolved organic carbon concentrations in historically acidified lakes.

Unlabelled: Climate and atmospheric deposition interact with watershed properties to drive dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in lakes. Because drivers of DOC concentration are inter-related and interact, it is challenging to assign a single dominant driver to changes in lake DOC concentration across spatiotemporal scales. Leveraging forty years of data across sixteen lakes, we used structural equation modeling to show that the impact of climate, as moderated by watershed characteristics, has become more dominant in recent decades, superseding the influence of sulfate deposition that was observed in the 1980s.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates outcomes for patients with advanced lung cancer receiving palliative radiotherapy at the Fast Track Lung Clinic, focusing on treatment responses and survival factors.
- Among 558 patients, a significant 70% showed treatment response, with higher rates linked to better performance status and specific genetic mutations, while those treated for neurological symptoms had lower responses.
- Key factors affecting overall survival included age, performance status, smoking habits, and the presence of metastases, highlighting the complexity of managing advanced lung cancer.

Objective: Corticospinal excitability can be quantified using motor-evoked potentials (MEP) following transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). However, the inherent variability of MEPs poses significant challenges. We establish a framework using personal and experimental factors to select the optimal number of trials (n) required for reliable MEP estimates.

Objective: Patients undergoing anterior/posterior lumbar fusion surgery can undergo either a single-stage or multistage operation, depending on surgeon preference. The goal of this study was to assess different patient outcomes between single-stage and multistage lumbar fusion procedures in a multicenter setting.
Methods: The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative database was queried for anterior/posterior lumbar fusion surgeries between July 2018 and January 2022.
