Integral equations of the third kind for the case of piecewise monotone coefficients

We examine the third kind integral equations in Hölder class. The coefficients of the equations are piecewise strictly monotone functions having simple zeros. By singular integral equations theory, for solvability of considered equations, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions. Finding a solution is reduced to solving a regular integral equation of second kind. Keywords: Piecewise, Eigenvalues, Holomorphic, Singular operato

Silk route to the acceptance and re-implementation of bacteriophage therapy.

This multidisciplinary expert panel opinion on bacteriophage therapy has been written in the context of a society that is confronted with an ever-increasing number of antibiotic resistant bacteria. To avoid the return to a pre-antibiotic era, alternative treatments are urgently needed. The authors aim to contribute to the opinion formation of relevant stakeholders on how to potentially develop an infrastructure and legislation that paves the way for the acceptance and re-implementation of bacteriophage therapy
