Abstract—The aim of this paper is to select the most accurate forecasting method for predicting the future values of the unemployment rate in selected European countries. In order to do so, several forecasting techniques adequate for forecasting time series with trend component, were selected, namely: double exponential smoothing (also known as Holt`s method) and Holt-Winters` method which acco...

The Beverton-Holt model is a classical population model which has been considered in the literature for the discrete-time case. Its continuous-time analogue is the well-known logistic model. In this paper, we consider a quantum calculus analogue of the Beverton-Holt equation. We use a recently introduced concept of periodic functions in quantum calculus in order to study the existence of period...

Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder which is caused by mutations of TBX5 and is characterised by cardiac and skeletal abnormalities. TBX5 is part of the T-box gene family and is thought to upregulate tumour cell proliferation and metastasis when mutated. We report the first clinical case of prostate cancer in an individual with Holt Oram syndrome.

The classic Beverton-Holt (discrete logistic) difference equation, which arises in population dynamics, has a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium (for positive initial conditions) if its coefficients are constants. If the coefficients change in time, then the equation becomes nonautonomous and the asymptotic dynamicsmight not be as simple. One reason the coefficients can change in time i...

The Holt–Oram syndrome or atriodigital dysplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder with near complete penetrance and variable expression, caused by mutations of the TBX5 gene (12q24.1), affecting one in 100 000 live births. 60% of cases are familial and 40% sporadic. We present the case of a 8 months old male patient presented with respiratory problem .Patient had characteristic right sided han...

We show that the no-disturbance principle imposes a tradeoff between locally contextual correlations violating the Klyachko-Can-Biniciogˇlu-Shumovski inequality and spatially separated correlations violating the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality. The violation of one inequality forbids the violation of the other. We also obtain the corresponding monogamy relation imposed by quantum theory f...

A stage-structured model for a theoretical epidemic process that incorporates immature, susceptible and infectious individual in independent stages is formulated. In this analysis, an input interpreted as a birth function is considered. The structural identifiability is studied using the Markov parameters. Then, the unknown parameters are uniquely determined by the output structure correspondin...
