Epidemic extinction in networks: insights from the 12 110 smallest graphs

New Journal of Physics, 2018
We investigate the expected time to extinction in the susceptible-infectious-susceptible model of disease spreading. Rather than using stochastic simulations, or asymptotic calculations in network models, we solve the extinction time exactly for all ...

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Ecoepidemiological Model and Analysis of MSV Disease Transmission Dynamics in Maize Plant

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2019
In this paper, an ecoepidemiological deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of maize streak virus (MSV) disease in maize plant is proposed and analysed qualitatively using the stability theory of differential equations.The basic reproduction ...

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Traveling waves of a delayed epidemic model with spatial diffusion

Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2017
In this paper, we study the existence and non-existence of traveling waves for a delayed epidemic model with spatial diffusion. That is, by using Schauder's fixed-point theorem and the construction of Lyapunov functional, we prove that when the basic ...

Nitric oxide formation during cortical spreading depression is critical for rapid subsequent recovery of ionic homeostasis [PDF]

, 2003
NoCortical spreading depression (CSD) is a temporary disruption of local ionic homeostasis that propagates slowly across the cerebral cortex. Cortical spreading depression promotes lesion progression in experimental stroke, and may contribute to the ...

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Hybrid Inertial–Centrifugal Gas–Liquid Separator: CFD‐Driven Optimization Using Coupled Discrete Phase and Wall‐Film Modeling With Response Surface Methodology

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient removal of liquid aerosols from compressed gas streams is essential in chemical and energy processes. Conventional separators relying on a single mechanism (inertial or centrifugal) struggle to capture both fine and coarse droplets simultaneously.

Residual Strength Prediction of Chemically Reactive Two‐Phase Nanofluid Flow in a Bingham–Papanastasiou Rheological Theory Using a Morlet‐Based Wavelet Neural Network Approach

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The behavior of nanofluid flow involving a zero‐mass flux condition has received considerable interest because of a realistic scenario. In reality, this condition confines the optimistic accumulation or disappearance of nanoparticles past a sheet, constructing a more physically realistic demonstration through several applications, such as heat
