Diffusive random walks feature the surprising property that average length of all possible trajectories enter and exit a finite domain is determined solely by boundary. Changes in diffusion constant or mean-free path, characterize process, leave mean path unchanged. Here we demonstrate experimentally this result can be transferred to scattering waves, even when wave interference leads marked de...

I formulate a dynamical model for microtubules interacting with a catastrophe-inducing boundary. In this model microtubules are either waiting to be nucleated, actively growing or shrinking, or stalled at the boundary. I first determine the steady-state occupation of these various states and the resultant length distribution. Next, I formulate the problem of the mean first-passage time to reach...

BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis is a prevalent parasitic disease found predominantly in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the developing world, with the second highest socioeconomic and public health burden despite strenuous control efforts. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the ameliorative effects of Ceratonia siliqua pod extract (CPE) on liver fibrosis and oxidative stress in mice in...

Methanol (ME) and hot water extracts (WE) of carob tree sapwood (Ceratonia siliqua L.) exhibited high antioxidant activity and were rich in phenolic compounds, with the main compounds identified by HPLC/DAD as gentisic acid and (-)-epicatechin. The ME displayed a high in vitro antitumor activity against human tumoural cell lines and reduced intracellular ROS production by HeLa cells after treat...

Key aspects of the cluster distribution in the case of directed, compact percolation near a damp wall are derived as functions of the bulk occupation probability p and the wall occupation probability pw. The mean length of finite clusters and mean number of contacts with the wall are derived exactly, and we find that both results involve elliptic integrals and further multiple sum functions of ...
