Optimal COVID-19 epidemic strategy with vaccination control and infection prevention measures in Thailand [PDF]
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2022 COVID-19 is a severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by the Coronavirus-2 virus (SARS-CoV-2). The virus spreads from one to another through droplets from an infected person, and sometimes these droplets can contaminate surfaces that may be another ...

Mathematical modeling of short pulsed laser irradiation in the cornea: a dual phase lag model
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computational Mechanics, 2021 . A simple mathematical model for the temperature evolution in the cornea exposed to short-pulsed Ho: YAG laser under Laser Thermo Keratoplasty (LTK) treatment is developed by incorporating both the heat flux phase-lag and temperature gradient phase-lag ...

Existence and uniqueness of periodic orbits in a discrete model on Wolbachia infection frequency
Advances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2021 In this paper, we study a discrete model on Wolbachia infection frequency. Assume that a periodic and impulsive release strategy is implemented, where infected males are released during the first N generations with the release ratio α, and the release is
