Article Abstract

The mathematical modeling of a combination of non-thermal technologies for inactivation is of great interest for describing the dynamic behavior of microorganisms in food, with the goal of process control, optimization, and prediction. This research focused on the design and implementation of a mathematical model to predict the effect of power ultrasound (US), high-pressure processing (HPP), and the combination of both non-thermal technologies on the inactivation kinetics of (DSM682) inoculated in orange juice. Samples were processed by US, HPP, and a combination of both technologies at varying process parameters, and a mathematical model for microbial inactivation was developed using a System Dynamics approach. The results showed that the combination of these technologies exhibited a synergistic effect, resulting in no detectable colony-forming units per mL of juice. The developed model accurately predicted the inactivation of following the combination of these technologies (R = 0.82) and can be used to predict microbial load reduction or optimize it based on process parameters. Additionally, combining both techniques offers a promising approach for extending the shelf life of fresh juices using non-thermal stabilization technology.

Integrating opinion dynamics and differential game modeling for sustainable groundwater management.

Groundwater overextraction presents persistent challenges due to strategic interdependence among decentralized users. While game-theoretic models have advanced the analysis of individual incentives and collective outcomes, most frameworks assume fully rational agents and neglect the role of cognitive and social factors. This study proposes a coupled model that integrates opinion dynamics with a differential game of groundwater extraction, capturing the interaction between institutional authority and evolving stakeholder preferences.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are a leading cause of death worldwide, yet first responder apps can significantly improve outcomes by mobilizing citizens to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation before professional help arrives. Despite their importance, limited research has examined the psychological and behavioral factors that influence individuals' willingness to adopt these apps.

Objective: Given that first responder app use involves elements of both technology adoption and preventive health behavior, it is essential to examine this behavior from multiple theoretical perspectives.

This research explores the dynamical properties and solutions of actin filaments, which serve as electrical conduits for ion transport along their lengths. Utilizing the Lie symmetry approach, we identify symmetry reductions that simplify the governing equation by lowering its dimensionality. This process leads to the formulation of a second-order differential equation, which, upon applying a Galilean transformation, is further converted into a system of first-order differential equations.

Reliable and timely fault diagnosis is critical for the safe and efficient operation of industrial systems. However, conventional diagnostic methods often struggle to handle uncertainties, vague data, and interdependent multi-criteria parameters, which can lead to incomplete or inaccurate results. Existing techniques are limited in their ability to manage hierarchical decision structures and overlapping information under real-world conditions.
