In this article, we derive Ricker’s [22, 23] type nonlinear boundary condition for an age structured population dynamic model by using a singular perturbation. The question addressed in this paper is the convergence of the singularly perturbed system. We first obtain a finite time convergence for a fixed initial distribution. Then we focus on the convergence uniformly of the singularly perturbe...

Background: To compare the efficacy of pertubation with low dose lignocaine before ovulation followed by intrauterine insemination versus alone in induced cycles infertility patients.Methods: Total 60 induction were studied, randomly divided Group A and B 30 each. Ovulation was done clomiphene citrate / gonadotrophins. Post IUI both groups. Additionally, preovulatory diluted balanced salt solut...

This article presents the modeling of a disturbance on a public transportation line. The suggested model must ensure the synthesis, the evaluation and the update of information available in order to facilitate the task of the operator ensuring the monitoring of the network. In order to achieve this goal, we propose a formal modeling of the concept of disturbance. This modeling makes it possible...

The accurate analytical and numerical calculations of the electronic band structure and ground state properties of strongly correlated electrons within the Hubbard model are performed by constructing convergent perturbation theory for general interaction strength and electron concentration. We test the developed perturbation approach about mean field solution in the extreme conditions of one di...

Nisin is a cationic antimicrobial peptide that belongs to the group of lantibiotics. It is thought to form oligomeric pores in the target membrane by a mechanism that requires the transmembrane electrical potential delta psi and that involves local pertubation of the lipid bilayer structure. Here we show that nisin does not form exclusively voltage-dependent pores: even in the absence of a delt...

Murine embryonic stem (ES) cells have been a useful model system for the study of various aspects of hematopoietic differentiation. Because we had observed a sharp peak of expression of the receptor tyrosine phosphatase gamma (Ptp gamma) gene between 14 and 18 days of ES-derived embryoid body differentiation, we investigated the effect of perturbation of expression of the Ptp gamma gene on ES c...

Elevated cardiac levels of nitric oxide (NO) generated by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) have been implicated in the development of heart failure. The surprisingly benign phenotype of recently generated mice with cardiac-specific iNOS overexpression (TGiNOS) provided the rationale to investigate whether NO scavenging by oxymyoglobin (MbO2) yielding nitrate and metmyoglobin (metMb) is in...

We revisit the rapid stretching of a liquid filament under the action of a constant imposed tensile force, a problem which was first considered by Matta & Tytus [JNNFM vol. 35, pp 215-229, 1990]. A liquid bridge formed from a viscous Newtonian fluid or from a dilute polymer solution is first established between two cylindrical disks. The upper disk is held fixed and may be connected to a force ...

RAS mutations are highly relevant for progression and therapy response of human tumours, but the genetic network that ultimately executes the oncogenic effects is poorly understood. Here, we used a reverse-engineering approach in an ovarian cancer model to reconstruct KRAS oncogene-dependent cytoplasmic and transcriptional networks from perturbation experiments based on gene silencing and pathw...
