Analyzing the dynamics of tumor-immune systems can play an important role in the fight against cancer, since it can foster the development of more effective medical treatments. This paper was aimed at making a contribution to the study of tumor-immune dynamics by presenting a new model of cancer growth based on fractional-order differential equations. By investigating the system dynamics, the manuscript highlights the chaotic behaviors of the proposed cancer model for both the commensurate and the incommensurate cases. Bifurcation diagrams, the Lyapunov exponents, and phase plots confirm the effectiveness of the conceived approach. Finally, some considerations regarding the biological meaning of the obtained results are reported through the manuscript.

There are thousands of Mendelian diseases with more being discovered weekly and the majority have no approved treatments. To address this need, we require scalable approaches that are relatively inexpensive compared to traditional drug development. In the absence of a validated drug target, phenotypic screening in model organisms provides a route for identifying candidate treatments.

An Estimate of Wolverine Density for the Canadian Province of Alberta.

Ecol Evol

January 2025

Government of Alberta, Forestry and Parks Canmore Alberta Canada.

Article Synopsis
  • Wolverines have faced significant range reduction globally, with complete extirpation from eastern Canada and some western prairie regions.
  • In Alberta, where they are designated for conservation, researchers aimed to estimate wolverine abundance using existing density data and habitat relationships.
  • Results indicated approximately 955 wolverines in the province, with only 544 classified as adults, suggesting a need for a reassessment of their conservation status and related protective measures.

Energy spectrum theory of incommensurate systems.

School of Physics and Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430074, China.

Because of the lack of translational symmetry, calculating the energy spectrum of an incommensurate system has always been a theoretical challenge. Here, we propose a natural approach to generalize energy band theory to incommensurate systems without reliance on the commensurate approximation, thus providing a comprehensive energy spectrum theory of incommensurate systems. Except for a truncation-dependent weighting factor, the formulae of this theory are formally almost identical to that of Bloch electrons, making it particularly suitable for complex incommensurate structures.
