ABSTRACT Latina immigrant women are vulnerable to traumatic stress and sexual health disparities. Without autonomy over their reproductive health and related decision‐making, reproductive justice is elusive. We analyzed behavioral health data from 175 Latina immigrant participants (M age = 35; range = 18–64) of the International Latino Research ...

A new critical curve for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems [PDF]
We study a class of systems of quasilinear differential inequalities associated to weakly coercive differential operators and power reaction terms. The main model cases are given by the $p$-Laplacian operator as well as the mean curvature operator in non parametric form. We prove that if the exponents lie under a certain curve, then the system has only

A kinetic chemotaxis model with internal states and temporal sensing [PDF]
By employing the Fourier transform to derive key a priori estimates for the temporal gradient of the chemical signal, we establish the existence of global solutions and hydrodynamic limit of a chemotactic kinetic model with internal states and temporal gradient in one dimension, which is a system of two transport equations coupled to a parabolic ...

Non Linear Hyperbolic-Parabolic Systems with Dirichlet Boundary Conditions [PDF]
We prove the well posedness of a class of non linear and non local mixed hyperbolic-parabolic systems in bounded domains, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In view of control problems, stability estimates on the dependence of solutions on data and parameters are also provided.

Background — Anal sac impaction is common in dogs and manual expression may be effective, yet recurrence remains a problem. To facilitate physiological emptying of the sacs, it is important to maintain a bulky stool consistency. Objectives — The study evaluated if supplementation with ProGlan, a complementary feed containing Bacillus velezensis C‐3102 ...

On the Coupling of Well Posed Differential Models -- Detailed Version [PDF]
Consider the coupling of $2$ evolution equations, each generating a global process. We prove that the resulting system generates a new global process. This statement can be applied to differential equations of various kinds. In particular, it also yields the well posedness of a predator-prey model, where the coupling is in the differential terms, and ...

On a class of special Euler-Lagrange equations [PDF]
We make some remarks on the Euler-Lagrange equation of energy functional $I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\det Du)\,dx,$ where $f\in C^1(\mathbb R).$ For certain weak solutions $u$ we show that the function $f'(\det Du)$ must be a constant over the domain $\Omega$ and thus, when $f$ is convex, all such solutions are an energy minimizer of $I(u).$ However, other ...

Optimal regularity for the Pfaff system and isometric immersions in arbitrary dimensions [PDF]
We prove the existence, uniqueness, and $W^{1,2}$-regularity for the solution to the Pfaff system with antisymmetric $L^2$-coefficient matrix in arbitrary dimensions. Hence, we establish the equivalence between the existence of $W^{2,2}$-isometric immersions and the weak solubility of the Gauss--Codazzi--Ricci equations on simply-connected domains. The

On a Hyperbolic-Parabolic Parasitoid-Parasite System: Well Posedness and Control [PDF]
We develop a time and space dependent predator-prey model. The predators' equation is a non local hyperbolic balance law, while the diffusion of prey obeys a parabolic equation, so that predators "hunt" for prey, while prey diffuse. A control term allows to describe the use of predators as parasitoids to limit the growth of prey-parasites.

On the Graphon Mean Field Game Equations: Individual Agent Affine Dynamics and Mean Field Dependent Performance Functions [PDF]
This paper establishes unique solvability of a class of Graphon Mean Field Game equations. The special case of a constant graphon yields the result for the Mean Field Game equations.
