Turning Points and Eigenvalue Problems

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1996
The periodic boundary value problem for a linear O.D.E. \(\ddot x + \alpha \dot x + ({2 \pi \over T})^2x = \lambda f(t) x\) \((0 \leq t \leq T)\), \(x(0) = x(T)\), \(\dot x(0) = \dot x(T)\), with spectral parameter \(\lambda\) is studied. Here a damping coefficient \(\alpha \neq 0\) and a smooth \(T\)-periodic function \(f \neq 0\) are given, the ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
