The role of vigilance on a discrete-time predator-prey model
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022)The change of behaviors of prey in the form of vigilance significantly affects the dynamics of a predator-prey system. In this paper, we consider a discrete-time predator-prey model, where the vigilance of prey acts as a ... -
Scorpion and Frog Organ Lysates are Potential Source of Antitumour Activity
(Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP), 2020)It is noteworthy that several animal species are known to withstand high levels of radiation, and are exposed to heavy metals but rarely been reported to develop cancer. For example, the scorpion has been used as folk ... -
A Simulation Study of the Role of Mechanical Stretch in Arrhythmogenesis during Cardiac Alternans
(Biophysical Society, 2021-01)The deformation of the heart tissue due to the contraction can modulate the excitation, a phenomenon referred to as mechanoelectrical feedback (MEF), via stretch-activated channels. The effects of MEF on the electrophysiology ... -
Simultaneous Adsorption and Reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in Aqueous Solution Using Nitrogen-Rich Aminal Linked Porous Organic Polymers
(MDPI, 2021)Two novel nitrogen-rich aminal linked porous organic polymers, NRAPOP-O and NRAPOP-S, have been prepared using a single step-one pot Schiff-base condensation reaction of 9,10-bis-(4,6-diamino-S-triazin-2-yl)benzene and ... -
Towards Monitoring of Nutrient Pollution in Coastal Lake Using Remote Sensing and Regression Analysis
(MDPI, 2020)The last few decades have witnessed a tremendous increase in nutrient levels (phosphorus and nitrogen) in coastal water leading to excessive algal growth (Eutrophication). The presence of large amounts of algae turns the ... -
Transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli K1 after therapy with hesperidin conjugated with silver nanoparticles
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2021)Backgrounds: Escherichia coli K1 causes neonatal meningitis. Transcriptome studies are indispensable to comprehend the pathology and biology of these bacteria. Recently, we showed that nanoparticles loaded with Hesperidin ... -
Ultrasound‑triggered herceptin liposomes for breast cancer therapy
(Nature, 2021)The functionalization of liposomes with monoclonal antibodies is a potential strategy to increase the specificity of liposomes and reduce the side-effects associated with chemotherapeutic agents. The active targeting of ... -
Weighted multimodal family of distributions with sine and cosine weight functions
(Cell Press, 2020)In this paper, the moment of various types of sine and cosine functions are derived for any random variable. For an arbitrary even probability density function, the sine and cosine moments are used to define new families ... -
“What Was Meant to Be” Versus “What Might Have Been”: Effects of Culture and Control on Counterfactual Thinking
(American Psychological Association, 2021)Counterfactual thinking is a ubiquitous feature of daily life with links to causal reasoning. Therefore, we argue that cultures that vary in perceptions of what controls important life outcomes may also vary in counterfactual ... -
Whole Organism Model to Study Molecular Mechanisms of Differentiation and Dedifferentiation
(MDPI, 2020)Cancer recurrence has remained a significant challenge, despite advances in therapeutic approaches. In part, this is due to our incomplete understanding of the biology of cancer stem cells and the underlying molecular ...
