The behaviour of various equilibrium points with the memory effect is then examined, and certain necessary requirements are deduced to guarantee the global asymptotic stability of co-existing equilibrium points. Additionally, we looked into the possibility of Hopf bifurcation in relation to the delay parameter, which serves as the suggested system’s bifurcation parameter. This paper’s main contribution is the explanation of the fractional order model’s derivation in terms of the memory impact on population growth, and the application of the Caputo derivative with equal dimensionality to models that include memory. This fractional-order system with unknown dynamics is subject to control chaos, which is addressed by using Bazykin’s prey-predator model. The suggested model is new in that it highlights the importance of the memory effect, which encompasses prey refuge, latency, and predator death rate based on density. We run numerical simulations with various memory parameter, latency, and prey refuge values.

The hydrogel is fabricated by the functionalization of starch with methyl methacrylate monomers, followed by cross-linking with methylene bisacrylamide by using nanoclay montmorillonite additive.

Between 40 and 45 percent of instances of hereditary breast cancer are caused by mutations in the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1). Breast cancer risk is raised by mutations in its Really Interesting New Gene (RING) and BRCA1 C-Terminal (BRCT) domains. Thus, the goal of this study was to identify new mutations in the BRCA1 gene's RING and BRCT domains. To examine BRCA1 mutation spectra, 107 patients were chosen who had a documented family history of ovarian or breast cancer. Direct DNA sequencing and single-stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP), both based on the polymerase chain reaction, were used to screen for mutations in the RING and BRCT domains of the BRCA1 gene. In-silico analysis was used for the in-vitro research outcome. The study's findings indicated that the population carries several BRCA1 sequence variations, including C.55C > A, C.36A > T, C.60A > T, C.199G > C, C.164A > T, C.251A > G, C.4996T > G, C.5032A > T, C.5041A > G, and C.5291T > A. The Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) searched and examined the mutations. Every mutation was a new mutation. Additionally, a bioinformatics investigation revealed that several variations had an impact on the pathogenicity and stability of the protein. After calculating the relative risk (RR) of research linked to danger, it was found that there was a strong correlation (RR = 1) between the newly discovered genetic mutations and an elevated risk of breast cancer.
