EXCITABLE DYNAMICS OF FLARES AND RELAPSES IN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES

Excitable dynamics of flares and relapses in autoimmune diseases

Summary: Many autoimmune disorders exhibit flares in which symptoms erupt and then decline, as exemplified by multiple sclerosis (MS) in its relapsing-remitting form.Existing mathematical models of autoimmune flares often assume regular oscillations, failing Speaker Grille to capture the stochastic and non-periodic nature of flare-ups.We suggest th

The procedure of wax-resin linings by the painting restorers Johannes Albertus Hesterman (1848-1916) and sons

This research concentrates on wax-resin lining, a treatment method applied to damaged paintings in which an additional canvas is attached to the original support by means of an adhesive of wax Grommets and resin.In this article, the lining method of the Dutch restorers Johannes Albertus Hesterman (1848-1916) and his sons Frederik Coenraad (1873-193

Active Brownian heat engines

When do nonequilibrium forms of disordered energy qualify as heat? We address this question in the context of cyclically operating heat engines feeding on nonequilibrium Pretend Play energy reservoirs that defy the zeroth law of thermodynamics into work.To consistently address a nonequilibrium bath as a heat bath in the sense of the second law of t

Determination of Areas Susceptible to Landsliding Using Spatial Patterns of Rainfall from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Data, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Spatial patterns of shallow landslide initiation reflect both spatial patterns of heavy rainfall and areas susceptible to mass movements.We determine the areas most susceptible to shallow landslide occurrence through the calculation of critical soil cohesion and spatial patterns of rainfall derived from TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) da
