    While the UK's NHS and pharma sector ponder who may end up negotiating drug prices in light of a new white paper, health economists Stuart Carroll, Neil Hawkins and David A Scott contemplate four options which keep NICE very much in the pictur

    Existence and Stability of Multiple Spot Solutions for the Gray-Scott Model in R2R^2 In this paper, we rigorously prove the existence and stability of multiple spot patterns for the Gray-Scott system in a two dimensional domain which are far from spatial homogeneity. The Green's function and its derivatives together with two nonlocal eigenvalue problems both play a major role in the analysis. We establish a threshold behavior for stability: If a certain inequality for the parameters holds then we get stability, otherwise we get instability of multiple spot solutions. The exact asymptotics of the critical thresholds are obtained

    Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)

    No full text
    This study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

    Asymmetric spotty patterns for the Gray-Scott model in R^2

    No full text
    In this paper, we rigorously prove the existence and stability of asymmetric spotty patterns for the Gray-Scott model in a bounded two dimensional domain. We show that given any two positive integers k_1,\,k_2, there are asymmetric solutions with k_1 large spots (type A) and k_2 small spots (type B). We also give conditions for their location and calculate their heights. Most of these asymmetric solutions are shown to be unstable. However, in a narrow range of parameters, asymmetric solutions may be stable
