Abstract In this talk, we will present a SPH formulation for coupled Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical processes. The Biot’s theory is used to model the fluid-solid interaction of saturated porous media, the Fourier’s law and the Newton’s law of cooling are used to describe the thermal conduction in a single medium and the heat exchange between the fluid and the solid, respectively. The physical model is expressed in the initial reference, and the total Lagrangian SPH is used to build the discrete formulation. We will discuss the numerical instability induced by twice repeated derivatives of discontinuous physical quantities, and More >

Abstract This study intends to examine the analytical solutions to the resulting one-dimensional differential equation of a cancer tumor model in the frame of time-fractional order with the Caputo-fractional operator employing a highly efficient methodology called the -homotopy analysis transform method. So, the preferred approach effectively found the analytic series solution of the proposed model. The procured outcomes of the present framework demonstrated that this method is authentic for obtaining solutions to a time-fractional-order cancer model. The results achieved graphically specify that the concerned paradigm is dependent on arbitrary order and parameters and also disclose the More >

Abstract In this paper, two crossover hybrid variable-order derivatives of the cancer model are developed. Grünwald-Letnikov approximation is used to approximate the hybrid fractional and variable-order fractional operators. The existence, uniqueness, and stability of the proposed model are discussed. Adams Bashfourth’s fifth-step method with a hybrid variable-order fractional operator is developed to study the proposed models. Comparative studies with generalized fifth-order Runge-Kutta method are given. Numerical examples and comparative studies to verify the applicability of the used methods and to demonstrate the simplicity of these approximations are presented. We have showcased the efficiency of the proposed More >

Abstract Background: Regulatory proteins involved in human cellular division and proliferation, cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) are overexpressed in numerous cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC is a common pathological subtype of breast cancer that is prone to recurrence and metastasis, and has a single treatment method. As one of the CDK4/6 inhibitors, abemaciclib can effectively inhibit the growth of breast tumors. In this study, we synthesized LA-D-B1, a derivative of Abemaciclib, and investigated its anti-tumor effects in breast cancer. Methods: Cellular viability was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell cloning and… More >

Abstract Background: Sepsis, a potentially fatal inflammatory disease triggered by infection, carries significant health implications worldwide. Timely detection is crucial as sepsis can rapidly escalate if left undetected. Recent advancements in deep learning (DL) offer powerful tools to address this challenge. Aim: Thus, this study proposed a hybrid CNNBDLSTM, a combination of a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a bi-directional long short-term memory (BDLSTM) model to predict sepsis onset. Implementing the proposed model provides a robust framework that capitalizes on the complementary strengths of both architectures, resulting in more accurate and timelier predictions. Method: The sepsis prediction… More >

Abstract Because of the features involved with their varied kernels, differential operators relying on convolution formulations have been acknowledged as effective mathematical resources for modeling real-world issues. In this paper, we constructed a stochastic fractional framework of measles spreading mechanisms with dual medication immunization considering the exponential decay and Mittag-Leffler kernels. In this approach, the overall population was separated into five cohorts. Furthermore, the descriptive behavior of the system was investigated, including prerequisites for the positivity of solutions, invariant domain of the solution, presence and stability of equilibrium points, and sensitivity analysis. We included a stochastic More >

Abstract With the increase in antimicrobial resistance, it has become necessary to explore alternative approaches for combating and preventing diseases. DB-cinnamaldehyde (CNM) and Benzyl4-amino (B4AM) are bioactive compounds derived from chalcones but with restricted solubility in aqueous media. Nanoemulsions can enhance the solubility of compounds and can be a promising alternative in the development of novel antimicrobials, with reduced side effects and prolonged release. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability of oil-in-water nanoemulsions loaded with two distinct types of chalcones at two different dosages, to propose a stable formulation with antimicrobial properties.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Turpentine is a renewable and resourceful forest product. The deep processing and utilization of turpentine, particularly its primary component β-pinene, has garnered widespread attention. This study aimed to synthesize 40 derivatives of β-pinene, including nopinone, 3-cyanopyridines of nopinone, myrtanyl acid, myrtanyl acylthioureas, and myrtanyl amides. We assessed the antiviral activities of these β-pinene derivatives against influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 (H1N1) using the 3-(4,5-dimetylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method. The β-pinene derivatives were used before and after cellular infection with the influenza virus to evaluate their preventive and therapeutic effects against the H1N1 virus. The results showed that only compound 10o More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract A prediction framework based on the evolution of pattern motion probability density is proposed for the output prediction and estimation problem of non-Newtonian mechanical systems, assuming that the system satisfies the generalized Lipschitz condition. As a complex nonlinear system primarily governed by statistical laws rather than Newtonian mechanics, the output of non-Newtonian mechanics systems is difficult to describe through deterministic variables such as state variables, which poses difficulties in predicting and estimating the system’s output. In this article, the temporal variation of the system is described by constructing pattern category variables, which are non-deterministic variables.… More >
