In this paper, a stochastic Lotka–Volterra competitive model with time-dependent delays is investigated. Sufficient conditions for global asymptotic stability of the positive equilibrium are established. The obtained result demonstrates that time-dependent delays have important impacts on the...

In this paper, the deterministic and stochastic SIRS epidemic models with nonlinear incidence are introduced and investigated. For deterministic system, the basic reproductive number R0 is obtained. Furthermore, if R0≤1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and...

An experimental setup is developed to measure accurately and reproducibly the effective mass as well as its fluctuations at the bottom of the granular columns. It is found that the saturated mass Ms obeys a third power function of the diameter of the silos. The data obtained are in agreement...
