    • Am I too fat? Bulimia as an epidemic 

      Kribs, Christopher; Gonzalez, Beverly; Huerta-Sanchez, Emilia; Ortiz-Nieves, Angela; Vazquez-Alvarez, Terannie (ElsevierDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 2003)
      For at least the past ten years, eating disorders have had a major impact in the physical and mental health of women, particularly young women. Anorexia and bulimia nervosa are closely linked eating disorders. Anorexia ...

    • A metapopulation model for sylvatic T. cruzi transmission with vector migration 

      Kribs, Christopher; Crawford, Britnee (American Institute of Mathematical ScienceDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ...

    • Metering effects in population systems 

      Kribs, Christopher; Camacho, Erika T.; Wirkus, Stephen (American Institute of Mathematical SciencesDepartment of Mathematics; Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ...

    • Modeling nosocomial transmission of rotavirus in pediatric wards 

      Kribs, Christopher; Jusot, Jean-Francois; Vanhems, Philippe; Charles, Sandrine (Springer-VerlagDepartment of Mathematics and Curriculum & Instruction, University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ...

    • Sociological phenomena as multiple nonlinearities: MTBI's new metaphor for complex human interactions 

      Kribs, Christopher (American Institute of Mathematical SciencesDepartment of Mathematics, University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ...
