A General Model of Structured Cell Kinetics [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We present a modelling framework for the dynamics of cells structured by the concentration of a micromolecule they contain. We derive general equations for the evolution of the cell population and of the extra-cellular concentration of the molecule and apply this approach to models of silicosis, quorum sensing in Gram-negative bacteria and magnetic ion

Early Identification, Accurate Diagnosis, and Treatment of Silicosis
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2022 Silicosis is a global problem, and it has brought about great burdens to society and patients’ families. The etiology of silicosis is clear, preventable, and controllable, but the onset is hidden and the duration is long.

Invisible Labor and the “Ghost Particle”: Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields**
Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.
