Leukotrienes (LTs) belong to pro-inflammatory mediators that are biosynthesized from arachidonic acid (AA), inter alia, by 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme in association with 5-LOX-activating protein (FLAP). An activation of LTs synthesis pathway occurs during the development and maintenance of numerous diseases such as asthma, anaphylactic shock, allergic rhinitis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthriti...

This study offers a new perspective on the evolutionary patterns of cities or urban agglomerations. Such developments can range from chaotic to fully ordered. We demonstrate that in a dynamic space of interactive human behaviour cities produce a wealth of gravitational attractors whose size and shape depend on the resistance of space emerging inter alia from transport friction costs. This findi...

The paper analyzes the network structure of international trade. Adapting a network approach developed in the physical sciences, we propose that international trade functions like a scale-free network. For each commodity group we calculate a characteristic parameter which reflects the structure of its trading network. We then insert this variable into an expanded gravity model to explore the ef...
