A unified approach has been developed to study nonlinear dynamics of a 1D lattice of particles with long-range power-law interaction. A classical case is treated in the framework of the generalization of the well-known Frenkel-Kontorova chain model for the non-nearest interactions. Quantum dynamics is considered following Davydov’s approach for molecular excitons. In the continuum limit the pro...

A unified approach has been developed to study nonlinear dynamics of a 1D lattice of particles with long-range power-law interaction. Classical case is treated in the framework of the well-known FrenkelKontorova chain model. Qunatum dynamics is considered follow to Davydov’s approach to molecular excitons. In the continuum limit the problem is reduced to dynamical equations with fractional deri...

Current findings suggest a role for the angiotensin II (Ang II) signalling pathway in generation of reactive oxygen species and diabetes-induced cardiac complications. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect of angiotensin II type 1 (AT 1 ) receptor blockage on some antioxidant enzy mes such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), 6-phoshogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), glutathion...

This paper examines the effects of inflationary and equalizing bias on publication output rankings. Any identifiable amount of bias in authorship accreditation was detrimental to accuracy when ranking a select group of leading Canadian aquaculture researchers. Bias arose when publication scores were calculated without taking into account information about multiple authorship and differential co...

This study examines the process and effects of using facebook (FB) to locate and re-contact study participants targeted for follow up in a longitudinal study of adult methamphetamine users (N = 649). A follow-up interview was conducted in 2009-11 approximately 8 years after previous study participation. Our paper describes re-contact efforts involving FB, including IRB regulatory issues and the...

We investigate the parton distribution function (PDF) uncertainty in measurement of effective weak mixing angle $\sin^2\theta_{\text{eff}}^{\ell}$ at CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The PDF-induced is large proton-proton collisions LHC due to dilution effect. Drell-Yan forward-backward asymmetry ($A_{FB}$) can be used reduce PDF measurement. However, when including full mass range lepton pair...

Introduction: Foreign Body Aspiration (FBA) represents a life-threatening emergency .It occurs primarily in children below 3 years. Generally, the most common aspirated FB is organic material such as nuts or beans. Sharp Foreign Bodies (FBs) are of particular concern to the attending clinician, because of their potential to perforate the air passage and cause possible complications. Here in, we...

We study the first passage time (FPT) problem for biased continuous time random walks. Using the recently formulated framework of fractional Fokker-Planck equations, we obtain the Laplace transform of the FPT density function when the bias is constant. When the bias depends linearly on the position, the full FPT density function is derived in terms of Hermite polynomials and generalized Mittag-...
