Mathematical Modelling of Immune Response in Tissues
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 9-38, 2009., 2009 We have developed a spatial–temporal mathematical model (PDE) to capture fundamental aspects of the immune response to antigen. We have considered terms that broadly describe intercellular communication, cell movement, and effector function (activation or inhibition).

Open Mathematics, 2019 In this paper, we consider a Beddington-DeAngelis predator-prey system with stage structure for predator and time delay incorporating prey refuge. By analyzing the characteristic equations, we study the local stability of the equilibrium of the system ...

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems, 2023 In this article, we consider an epidemiological model in which we take into account the effects of direct and indirect transmissions. The first mode occurs through direct contact between infectious and susceptible individuals, and the second one will ...

A Mathematical Model Quantifies Proliferation and Motility Effects of TGF‐β on Cancer Cells
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page 71-83, 2009., 2009 Transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β is known to have properties of both a tumour suppressor and a tumour promoter. While it inhibits cell proliferation, it also increases cell motility and decreases cell–cell adhesion. Coupling mathematical modelling and experiments, we investigate the growth and motility of oncogene‐expressing human mammary epithelial ...

Optimal strategies for controlling the outbreak of COVID-19: Reducing its cost and duration
Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems, 2023 Social distancing plays an essential role in controlling the spread of an epidemic, but changing the behavior of individuals regarding social distancing is costly.

The Dynamics of an HIV/AIDS Model with Screened Disease Carriers
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 287-305, 2009., 2009 The presence of carriers usually complicates the dynamics and prevention of a disease. They are not recognized as disease cases themselves unless they are screened and they usually spread the infection without them being aware. We argue that this has been one of the major causes of the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 105-119, 2008., 2008 We invented a standardization method to measure the cup′s anteversion after total hip arthroplasty without the influence of patient′s position. We measured 68 radiographs of 10 patients after total hip replacement (THR) and calculated the error of each measurement, defined as the difference with the average of the same measuring method on the same ...

Mathematical analysis of a MERS-Cov coronavirus model
Demonstratio Mathematica, 2022 In this study, we have proposed a mathematical model to describe the dynamics of the spread of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome disease. The model consists of six-coupled ordinary differential equations.

Modelling Immune Response and Drug Therapy in Human Malaria Infection
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 143-163, 2008., 2008 A new intra‐host model of malaria that describes the dynamics of the blood stages of the parasite and its interaction with red blood cells and immune effectors is proposed. Local and global stability of the disease free equilibrium are investigated. Conditions for existence and uniqueness of the endemic equilibrium are derived.

A Stochastic Model of Icosahedral Capsid Growth
Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 95-97, 2005., 2005 A model of growth of icosahedral capsids is proposed. It is similar to the stochastic model of fullerene growth, but takes into account variations in the composition of pentamers and hexamers that are responsible for the final capsid size. We show that the observed high yield of capsid production implies a high level of self‐organization of the ...
