In this article, a novel susceptible-infected-recovered epidemic model with nonmonotonic incidence and treatment rates is proposed and analyzed mathematically. The Monod-Haldane functional response is considered for nonmonotonic behavior of both incidence rate and treatment rate. The model analysis shows that the model has two equilibria which are named as disease-free equilibrium (DFE) and endemic equilibrium (EE). The stability analysis has been performed for the local and global behavior of the DFE and EE. With the help of the basic reproduction number , we investigate that DFE is locally asymptotically stable when and unstable when . The local stability of DFE at has been analyzed, and it is obtained that DFE exhibits a forward transcritical bifurcation. Further, we identify conditions for the existence of EE and show the local stability of EE under certain conditions. Moreover, the global stability behavior of DFE and EE has been investigated. Lastly, numerical simulations have been done in the support of our theoretical findings.

This case study of Kongsfjorden, western coastal Svalbard, provides insights on how freshwater runoff from marine- and land-terminating glaciers influences the biogeochemical cycles and distribution patterns of carbon, nutrients, and trace elements in an Arctic fjord system. We collected samples from the water column at stations along the fjord axis and proglacial river catchments, and analyzed concentrations of dissolved trace elements, together with dissolved nutrients, as well as alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon. Statistical tools were applied to identify and quantify biogeochemical processes within the fjord that govern the constituent distributions.

The domestication of wild canids led to dogs no longer living in the wild but instead residing alongside humans. Extreme changes in behavior and diet associated with domestication may have led to the relaxation of the selective pressure on traits that may be less important in the domesticated context. Thus, here we hypothesize that strongly deleterious mutations may have become less deleterious in domesticated populations.

The effect of replacing the amino acid at a given site in a protein is difficult to predict. Yet, evolutionary comparisons have revealed highly regular patterns of interchangeability between pairs of amino acids, and such patterns have proved enormously useful in a range of applications in bioinformatics, evolutionary inference, and protein design. Here we reconcile these apparently contradictory observations using fitness data from over 350,000 experimental amino acid replacements.

The disease dynamics affect the human life. When one person is affected with a disease and if it is not treated well, it can weaken the immune system of the body. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system, of the body which is the defense line against diseases.

Alkali metal anodes paired with solid ion conductors offer promising avenues for enhancing battery energy density and safety. To facilitate rapid ion transport crucial for fast charging and discharging of batteries, it is essential to understand the behavior of point defects in these conductors. In this study, we investigate the heterogeneity of defect distribution in two prototypical solid ion conductors, LiOCl and LiPON (LiPON), by quantifying the defect formation energy (DFE) as a function of distance from the surface and interface through first-principles simulations.
