✦ Synopsis

We present a mathematical model that describes the initial stages of placental development during which trophoblast cells begin to invade the uterine tissue. We then carry out a mathematical analysis of a simpler submodel that describes the final stages of normal embryo implantation and suggests that as the timescale of interest increases, the dominant migratory mechanism of the trophoblasts switches from chemotaxis to nonlinear random motion.

In this paper, we present a recently developed mathematical model for a short double-wall carbon nanotube. The model is governed by a system of two coupled hyperbolic equations and is reduced to an evolution equation. This equation defines a dissipative semi-group. We show that the semi-group genera
