A metapopulation model for sylvatic T. cruzi transmission with vector migration
(American Institute of Mathematical Science, 2014-06)
This study presents a metapopulation model for the sylvatic transmission
of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, across
multiple geographical regions and multiple overlapping host-vector ...
Modeling nosocomial transmission of rotavirus in pediatric wards
(Springer-Verlag, 2011)
Nosocomial transmission of viral and bacterial infections is a major problem worldwide, affecting millions of patients (and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths) per year. Rotavirus
infections affect most children ...
Metering effects in population systems
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2013)
This study compares the effects of two types of metering (periodic resetting and periodic increments) on one variable in a dynamical system, relative to the behavior of the corresponding system with an equivalent level of ...
Sociological phenomena as multiple nonlinearities: MTBI's new metaphor for complex human interactions
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2013)
Mathematical models are well-established as metaphors for biological and epidemiological systems. The framework of epidemic modeling has also been applied to sociological phenomena driven by peer pressure, notably in two ...
