To explore the influence of psychiatric distress and substance use on viral load suppression in HIV-infected patients taking ART we analyzed socio-demographic characteristics, CD4+ cells count and viral loads, the Symptom Check List-90 and the Addiction Severity Index of 75 patients who had taken ART for at least 6 month. Using viral load data as the marker of ART success, we divided the sample into two groups. Comparison of the groups showed that education, marriage, and female gender are predictors of optimal viral load suppression. Overall results failed to demonstrate substance use and psychiatric distress as predictors of viral load suppression

We study a family of one-dimensional maps that models the dynamics of a system of differential equations with a Lorenz attractor near a bifurcation curve where the system has a pair of homoclinic loops with zero separatrix value. Of particular interest is the region of the parameter plane where the map has a robust chaotic ...

Toroidal chaos designates a chaotic solution that is structured in the neighborhood of a torus. For being chaotic, such a torus needs to be discontinuously fractalized to present a Cantor set, ensuring the great sensitivity to initial conditions required for chaos. A fractal is related to self-similarity and a non-integer dimension. In fact, although clearly ...

Introduction:
Understanding how we perceive and interpret the movements of other living beings is fundamental to social interaction, survival, and navigating our dynamic environment. Traditional studies of biological motion perception have predominantly employed simplified stimuli, such as point-light displays, which sacrifice ecological validity for experimental control.
Methods:
To overcome this limitation, we created a novel stimulus set featuring ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...

В данной работе изучаются характеристические алгебры для систем экспоненциального типа, соответствующих вырожденным матрицам Картана. Эти системы обобщают хорошо известные в теории интегрируемых систем гиперболические уравнения синус-Гордон и Цицейки. Для таких систем, соответствующих матрицам Картана ранга 2, характеристические алгебры описаны явно в терминах образующих и соотношений, и доказано, что они имеют линейный рост. Исследуется связь между ...

In the second half of the 19th century Darboux obtained determinant formulae that provide the general solution for a linear hyperbolic second order PDE with finite Laplace series. These formulae played an important role in his study of the theory of surfaces and, in particular, in the theory of conjugate nets. During the last three ...

There are different methods of discretizing integrable systems. We consider semi-discrete analog of two-dimensional Toda lattices associated to the Cartan matrices of simple Lie algebras that was proposed by Habibullin in 2011. This discretization is based on the notion of Darboux integrability. Generalized Toda lattices are known to be Darboux integrable in the continuous case ...

In schemes S for placing r particles in n distinguishable cells, their placement in selected m cells – schemes S∗ is studied, for which the analysis is carried out by a new enumerative method (EM) in extended areas of enumerative combinatorics: finding the number of outcomes and, based on the construction of a model of ...

The class of particle cell arrangements under consideration is characterized by the introduction of an upper limit on the filling levels of the cells, which must be achieved in at least one cell of each outcome of each arrangement. The circuits are distinguished by the paired qualities of their constituent elements (cells and particles) according ...

Drug use disorders (DUDs) are emerging global public health challenges. Here we investigated the global and regional estimates of the prevalence and burden of DUDs, including amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine and opioid use disorders, from 1990 to 2023 for 204 countries and territories by using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023. Overall, trends in global ...

Для многокритериальных задач принятия решений по аналогии с качественной вероятностью введены понятия полной и частичной качественной важности как бинарных отношений, обладающих постулируемыми
свойствами. Предложено новое определение отношения нестрогого предпочтения на множестве вариантов решений, порождаемое качественной
важностью. Исследованы его свойства. Указаны аналитические правила,

Benzenoid hydrocarbons are structurally regular aromatic compounds, which makes them well suited for quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) studies. This study presents a QSPR analysis of nineteen benzenoid hydrocarbon species using degree-based topological co-indices. We developed a Python program to compute eleven degree-based topological co-indices from molecular graphs and evaluated their ability to explain variations in ...

B.Josephson (Nobel Prize, 1973) predicted a tunnelling effect for a system of two superconductors separated by a narrow dielectric (such a system is called Josephson junction): existence of a supercurrent through it and equations governing it. The overdamped Josephson junction is modeled by the family of differential equations on the 2-torus, dθdτ=1ω(cosθ+B+Acosτ), which is known as ...

A planar dual billiard is a planar curve γ equipped with a family (σP)|P∈γ of projective involutions of the projective lines LP tangent to γ at P that fix P. A dual billiard is called rationally integrable, if there exists a rational function R(x,y) of two variables (called first integral) whose restriction to each tangent ...

The overdamped Josephson junction in superconductivity theory can be modeled by the family of dynamical systems on the torus, which is known as the RSJ model. This family admits an equivalent description by a family of second-order differential equations: special double confluent Heun equations. In the present paper, we construct two new families of dynamical systems on ...

A caustic of a strictly convex planar bounded billiard is a smooth curve whose tangent lines are reflected from the billiard boundary to its tangent lines. The famous Birkhoff Conjecture, studied by many mathematicians, states that if the billiard boundary has an inner neighborhood foliated by closed caustics, then it is an ellipse. In the paper we study ...

In this follow-up paper we show that smooth Hodge-proper stacks over O𝐾 are ℚ𝑝-locally acyclic: namely the natural map between étale ℚ𝑝-cohomology of the algebraic and Raynaud generic fibers is an equivalence. This establishes the ℚ𝑝-case of general conjectures made in D. Kubrak and A. Prikhodko [p-adic Hodge theory for Artin stacks, Mem. Amer. Math. ...

The measure of the positivity set {x ∈ [0; 2π] | f (x) > 0} of a trigonometric polynomial f is bounded from below by the Motzkin density.
We generalize the bound to polynomials in several variables and almost periodic functions.
We then use these generalizations to extend known results on Taikov’s problem. ...

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...
