Abstract: The challenging issues of cancer prevention and cure lie in the need for a more detailed knowledge of the internal processes and mechanisms of tumour growth. We present a mathematical model of avascular tumour growth formulated in a system of coupled nonlinear PDEs. The interaction between the surrounding tissue and cell motility of the developing ...

Abstract: Palm oil is the main vegetable oil produced in Nigeria and Elaeis guineensis's health is crucial in obtaining maximum production of oil. The genus Ganoderma belongs to the family of Ganodermataceae, which causes white rots of hardwoods in many woody plants like E. guineensis by decomposing their lignin with peroxidase and laccase. Introducing endop... Show More
