Group Size Effect on the Success of Wolves Hunting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Social foraging shows unexpected features such as the existence of a group size threshold to accomplish a successful hunt. Above this threshold, additional individuals do not increase the probability of capturing the prey.

A mathematical study of the adrenocorticotropic hormone as a regulator of human gene expression in adrenal glands

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics
In this research, we have introduced compartments for asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals, along with reduced susceptibility, as key factors defining our investigation.

Validating Stochastic Models: Invariance Criteria for Systems of Stochastic Differential Equations and the Selection of a Stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley Type Model

open access: yes, 2012
In recent years, many difficulties appeared when taking into account the inherent stochastic behavior of neurons and voltage-dependent ion channels in Hodgking-Huxley type models.

Mathematical model of Zika virus with vertical transmission

open access: yesInfectious Disease Modelling, 2017
Zika is a flavivirus transmitted to humans through either the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes or sexual transmission. Zika has been linked to congenital anomalies such as microcephaly.

Effect of awareness and saturated treatment on the transmission of infectious diseases

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics
In this article, we study the role of awareness and its impact on the control of infectious diseases. We analyze a susceptible-infected-recovered model with a media awareness compartment. We find the effective reproduction number R0{R}_{0}.

Assessing the impact of information-induced self-protection on Zika transmission: A mathematical modeling approach

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics
As per the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) suggestions, personal protection via adopting precautionary measures is one of the most effective control aspects to avoid Zika infection in the absence of suitable medical treatment.

Mathematical modeling of contact tracing and stability analysis to inform its impact on disease outbreaks; an application to COVID-19

open access: yesInfectious Disease Modelling
We develop a mathematical model to investigate the effect of contact tracing on containing epidemic outbreaks and slowing down the spread of transmissible diseases.
