In this work, we investigate the existence of nonmonotone traveling wave solutions to a reaction-diffusion system modeling social outbursts, such as rioting activity, originally proposed in Berestycki et al (Netw Heterog Media. 2015;10(3):443–475). The model consists two scalar values, level unrest and tension field . A key component is bandwagon effect unrest, provided sufficiently high. We fo...

BACKGROUND Nuclear unrest is a term applied to Wilms' tumors (WT) that show nuclear abnormalities close to anaplasia but without abnormal mitoses. p53 is claimed to be associated with anaplasia and poor prognosis. This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical significance of nuclear unrest and p53 immunostaining in Wilms' tumor. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of 63 pa...

India is a country of myriad contradictions. On the one hand, it has grown to be one of the largest economies in the world, and an increasingly important player in the emerging global order, on the other hand, it is still home to the largest number of people living in absolute poverty (even if the proportion of poor people has decreased) and the largest number of undernourished growth which man...

The impact of resources on social unrest is of increasing interest to political leaders, business and civil society. Recent events have highlighted that (lack of) access to critical resources, including food, energy and water, can, in certain circumstances, lead to violent demonstrations. In this paper, we assess a number of political fragility indices to see whether they are good indicators of...

Background: In Parkinson’s disease (PD), neurodegenerative changes have been observed in autonomic pathways involving multiple organ systems. We explore pupillary and cardiac autonomic measures as physiological manifestations of PD neurodegeneration. Methods: Pupil measures (pupillary unrest (spontaneous changes of pupil diameter in darkness), constriction velocity and redilation velocity) were...

The unrest situation in South Africa since September 1984 has led to the escalation of violence and numerous incidents of confrontation between security forces and unruly crowds. The failure of routine law enforcement methods to alleviate the situation resulted in declaration of a State of Emergency in various parts of the country on 21 July 1985 and in the Western Cape area on 26 October 1985....

The mid Eighteenth Century was a time of great scientific experimentation and observation during which some of the basic aspects of respiratory physiology and metabolism began to be elucidated. This was the time when the fundamental elements of earth, air, fire and water proposed by Aristotle began to be reappraised. The Phlogiston theory was finally exploded and a basic understanding of elemen...
