Oscillation Theory for Non-Linear Neutral Delay Differential Equations of Third Order
Applied Sciences, 2020 In this article, we study a class of non-linear neutral delay differential equations of third order. We first prove criteria for non-existence of non-Kneser solutions, and criteria for non-existence of Kneser solutions.

Robust stability analysis for uncertain neutral type descriptor systems with mixed delays
IET Control Theory & Applications, 2023 The issue of robust stability here is carefully thought about for uncertain neutral type descriptor systems (NTDSs) with mixed delays. An augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional considering the cross information of the singular matrix and state delay ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
