The theory of dynamical systems and of nonlinear partial differential evolution equations and their applications in biology, physiology and medicine are fostered with the following papers comprising the present issue. They form a focused issue, which has its roots in an international congress on the same topic held by the Société Francophone de Biologie Théorique (SFBT) from 8 to 11 June 2008 i...

UNLABELLED Ralstonia solanacearum is a soil-borne bacterium causing the widespread disease known as bacterial wilt. Ralstonia solanacearum is also the causal agent of Moko disease of banana and brown rot of potato. Since the last R. solanacearum pathogen profile was published 10 years ago, studies concerning this plant pathogen have taken a genomic and post-genomic direction. This was pioneered...

Introduction Groups of finite Morley rank made their first appearance in model theory as binding groups, which are the key ingredient in Zilber's ladder theorem and in Poizat's explanation of the Picard-Vessiot theory. These are not just groups, but in fact permutation groups acting on important definable sets. When they are finite, they are connected with the model theoretic notion of algebrai...

BACKGROUND From fundamental studies to industrial processes, synthesis of heterologous protein by micro-organisms is widely employed. The secretion of soluble heterologous proteins in the extracellular medium facilitates their recovery, while their attachment to the cell surface permits the use of the recombinant host cells as protein or peptide supports. One of the key points to carry out hete...

This special issue is an outgrowth of the MEDICIS thematic workshop on Lie Computations that was held at the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques in Marseilles in November 1994. It was jointly sponsored by the Groupe de Recherche MEDICIS, the CIRM (Société Mathématique de France), and the European project INTAS 93-30 The conference brought together mathematicians, computer scientist...

OF A TOTAL OF 50 chimpanzees wild-captured in different O areas of the tropical iain forest in Gabon, two were found to be positive for HIV-1 antibodies.’ From one chimpanzee a lentivirus, sIv,z,ab, was isolated. As a result of virological and molecular studies it was classified as an HIV-l-related nonhuman Subsequently, another chimpanzee lentivhs, SIVEpz-mo has been isolated from a wild-captu...

Fix a prime p, a number field K, and a finite set S of places of K none of which has residue characteristic p. Fix an algebraic closure K of K and let KS be the maximal p-extension of K inside K which is unramified outside S; it is the compositum of all finite p-power degree extensions of K unramified outside S. We assume that real places of K not contained in S do not complexify in the extensi...

Background Urolithins are intestinal bacterial metabolites of ellagic acid, from pomegranate and nuts. They modulate oxidative-regulated pathways display anti-inflammatory, antioxidative properties. Several studies indicate that they could be inducers muscle strengthening. Objectives The aim this in vitro study was to investigate their mechanisms action at plasma concentrations on primary human...
