Bees and flowers, an old love story

Gold nanoparticles in radiation therapy: an old story yet mesmerizing

Radiotherapy (RT) is generally considered to be one of the most effective cancer treatments. The primary goal of RT is to accurately induce radiation damage to the tumor while limiting radiation toxicity to a level acceptable to normal tissue. This is accomplished by targeting the tumor with radiation. On the other hand, the status of RT procedures as they stand today is not substantial enough ...

Bilabiate flowers: the ultimate response to bees?

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bilabiate flowers have evolved in many lineages of the angiosperms, thus representing a convincing example of parallel evolution. Similar to keel blossoms, they have obviously evolved in order to protect pollen against pollen-collecting bees. Although many examples are known, a comprehensive survey on floral diversity and functional constraints of bilabiate flowers is lackin...

Layla and Majnun: a complex love story

Following previous work, this paper introduces a new dynamical model involving two differential equations describing the time variation of behavior displayed by a couple in a romantic relationship. This model is different from previous ones because it uses complex variables. Since complex variables have both magnitude and phase, they are better able to represent love and can represent more comp...
