On Λ-Fractional Wave Propagation in Solids
Mathematics, 2023 Wave propagation in solids is discussed, based upon inherently non-local Λ-fractional analysis. Following the governing equations of Λ-fractional continuum mechanics, the Λ-fractional wave equations are derived.

How did climate drive the historical distribution of relict plants: a case study on Metasequoia using deep-time ecological niche modelling [PDF]
PeerJRelict plants are those that once had a wide distribution but are now restricted to small areas. It is important to study the process of their distribution in the geological past to better understand the climatic factors that shape their current ...

Characterizations of Global Transversal Exponential Stability [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2021 We study the relationship between the global exponential stability of an invariant manifold and the existence of a positive semi-definite Riemannian metric which is contracted by the flow. In particular, we investigate how the following properties are related to each other (in the global case): i).

Comparative analysis of global stability of the typical structural systems of multi-storey steel buildings [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2012 The paper presents global stability comparative analysis of two distinctive structural systems for one 25 - storey high steel building. These are the system with rigid and the system with hinged joint connections between beams and columns in the steel

Global stability of a delayed and diffusive virus model with nonlinear infection function
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021 This paper studies a delayed viral infection model with diffusion and a general incidence rate. A discrete-time model was derived by applying nonstandard finite difference scheme. The positivity and boundedness of solutions are presented.

An SEIR model with infectious latent and a periodic vaccination strategy
Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2021 An SEIR epidemic model with a nonconstant vaccination strategy is studied. This SEIR model has two disease transmission rates β1 and β2 which imitate the fact that, for some infectious diseases, a latent person can pass the disease into a susceptible one.
