Cyclicity of the Limit Periodic Sets for a Singularly Perturbed Leslie-Gower Predator-Prey Model with Prey Harvesting
No full textIn this paper, we study the Leslie–Gower predator–prey model with Michaelis–Menten type
prey harvesting. Our main focus is on the cyclicity of diverse limit periodic sets, including a
generic contact point, canard slow–fast cycles, transitory canards, slow–fast cycles with two
canard mechanisms, singular slow–fast cycle, etc. We develop new techniques for finding the
maximum number of limit cycles produced by slow–fast cycles containing both the generic
and degenerate contact point away from the origin (such slow–fast cycles are the transitory
canards and cycles with two canard mechanisms). It can be applied not only to the Leslie–
Gower predator–prey model, but more general systems as well. The main tool is geometric
singular perturbation theory including cylindrical blow-up and the notion of slow divergence
integral. We also study dynamics near the origin using non-standard techniques (constructing
generalized normal sectors). The uniqueness and stability of a relaxation oscillation is shown
using the notion of entry–exit function. Some interesting dynamical phenomena, such as
relaxation oscillation and canard explosion, are simulated to illustrate the theoretical results.Acknowledgements

No full textCurrent concepts on oxidative/carbonyl stress, inflammation and epigenetics in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Full text linkChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem. The current therapies for COPD are poorly effective and the mainstays of pharmacotherapy are bronchodilators. A better understanding of the pathobiology of COPD is critical for the development of novel therapies. In the present review, we have discussed the roles of oxidative/aldehyde stress, inflammation/immunity, and chromatin remodeling in the pathogenesis of COPD. An imbalance of oxidants/antioxidants caused by cigarette smoke and other pollutants/biomass fuels plays an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD by regulating redox-sensitive transcription factors (e.g., NF-κB), autophagy and unfolded protein response leading to chronic lung inflammatory response. Cigarette smoke also activates canonical/alternative NF-κB pathways and their upstream kinases leading to sustained inflammatory response in lungs. Recently, epigenetic regulation has been shown to be critical for the development of COPD because the expression/activity of enzymes that regulate these epigenetic modifications have been reported to be abnormal in airways of COPD patients. Hence, the significant advances made in understanding the pathophysiology of COPD as described herein will identify novel therapeutic targets for intervention in COPD
“Yao Guai” as the Design: how to design contemporary “Yao Guai” for the children
No full text[[abstract]]To turn over the leaves of the civilization, there were so many kinds of “monsters” being mentioned of. Although the monsters have a variety of appearances, they all reflected the fear of the human beings. The author, therefore, abides by which to examine the “Yao Guai (monsters)” in ancient Chinese books and records, consequently finds that the level of fear reflected by the “Yao Guai” arise as time went by. Besides, the author also uses rules to clasiify the Yao Guai. The rules are analogy, increasing, decreasing, position-changing, mixture, and magic. The former three is concerned with the appearances, and the later ones are about the ways how the ancients understand the world. The authors possess that if one could use the rules well, he/she could devise the Yao Guai for different ones from their fears. And he also takes pupils as the target audience to make a designing practice. From the work we know, the “Yao Guai” reflect the different level of human’s fear. Hence, how to make the people feel the same way is the most important thing when design. In view of that the experience are quite varied between the audience, we need to make them more abstract when the level of fear is hign, and concrete, vise versa.
