In this paper, a mathematical epidemiological model in the form of reaction diffusion is proposed for the transmission of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The next-generation method is utilized for calculating the threshold number R while the least square curve fitting approach is used for estimating the parameter values. The mathematical epidemiological model without and with diffusion is simulated through the operator splitting approach based on finite difference and meshless methods. Further, for the graphical solution of the non-linear model, we have applied a one-step explicit meshless procedure. We study the numerical simulation of the proposed model under the effects of diffusion. The stability analysis of the endemic equilibrium point is investigated. The obtained numerical results are compared mutually since the exact solutions are not available.

Deterministic patterns in single-cell transcriptomic data.

NPJ Syst Biol Appl

School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.

We report the existence of deterministic patterns in statistical plots of single-cell transcriptomic data. We develop a theory showing that the patterns are neither artifacts introduced by the measurement process nor due to underlying biological mechanisms. Rather they naturally emerge from finite sample size effects.

Introduction: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia in adults in Western countries, with a median age at diagnosis of 72 years. This guide, developed by the Spanish Group for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (GELLC), addresses the most relevant aspects of CLL, with the objectives of facilitating and aiding the diagnostic process, establishing therapeutic recommendations for choosing the best treatment for each type of patient, as well as standardizing the management of CLL and ensuring equity across different hospitals in terms of the use of the various available treatment regimens.

Methodology: The references obtained were classified according to the level of evidence and following the criteria established by the Agency for Health Research and Quality, and the recommendations were classified according to the criteria of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).

Finite model analysis of different anchorage sites for bone-supported facemask application in unilateral cleft lip and palate.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the miniplate application sites in the maxilla and the applied force vector changes during skeletally supported facemask application in adolescent patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) using finite element model (FEM) analysis.

Methods: A FEM was obtained from a cone-beam computed tomography image of a 12-year-old female patient with UCLP. Miniplates were placed on 3 different sites of the maxilla; 500 g of advancement force was applied bilaterally, parallel (0°), and downward (-30°) to the occlusal plane.

This paper investigates the use of the BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Analysis) technology to monitor a large-scale bored pile wall in the field. Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOSs) were deployed to measure internal temperature and strain changes during cement grouting, hardening, and excavation-induced deformation of a secant pile wall. The study details the geological conditions and DFOS installation process.

Article Synopsis
  • Fiber hybridization helps address brittle fractures in composite honeycombs, but different fiber interactions create complex failure mechanisms.
  • Researchers 3D-printed honeycomb composites using carbon and Kevlar fibers to study their structural failure through experiments and simulations.
  • Results showed that carbon/Kevlar composites had the best energy absorption and cost-effectiveness, while CFRP had the highest load capacity; the presence of Kevlar led to ductile failure, contrasting with the brittle failure seen in Onyx honeycombs.
