By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

On Stability of Periodic Solutions of Lienard Type Equations

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2017
We use the Floquet theory to analyze the stability of periodic solutions of Lienard type equations under the asymptotic linear growth of restoring force in this paper.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Global Stability of Positive Periodic Solutions and Almost Periodic Solutions for a Discrete Competitive System

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2015
A discrete two-species competitive model is investigated. By using some preliminary lemmas and constructing a Lyapunov function, the existence and uniformly asymptotic stability of positive almost periodic solutions of the system are derived. In addition,

On the application of Sturm's theorem to analysis of dynamic pull-in for a graphene-based MEMS model

open access: yesApplied and Computational Mechanics, 2018
A novel procedure based on the Sturm’s theorem for real-valued polynomials is developed to predict and identify periodic and non-periodic solutions for a graphene-based MEMS lumped parameter model with general initial conditions.

Periodic solutions of difference equations

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2003
For the difference equation \(x_{n+1}=\beta x_n- g(x_n)\) with \(\beta> 1\) and \(g(x)= \text{sign\,}x\) for \(x\neq 0\), \(g(0)= 1\), it is shown: For any \(m\in \mathbb{N}_0\) it has a \(2^m\)-periodic solution. If \(\beta^{2^m(2k+1)}- 2\beta^{2^m(2k-1)}\geq 1\) for \(k\in \mathbb{N}\) and some \(m\in\mathbb{N}\) it has a \((2k+1)2^m\)-periodic ...

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our
