Many-body methods in agent-based epidemic models [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) agent-based model is usually employed in the investigation of epidemics. The model describes a Markov process for a single communicable disease among susceptible (S) and infected (I) agents. However, the disease spreading forecasting is often restricted to numerical simulations, while analytic formulations ...

Deterministic Models in Epidemiology: From Modeling to Implementation [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The abrupt outbreak and transmission of biological diseases has always been a long-time concern of humankind. For long, mathematical modeling has served as a simple and yet efficient tool to investigate, predict, and control spread of communicable diseases through individuals.

Epidemics after Natural Disasters [PDF]

, 2007
The relationship between natural disasters and communicable diseases is frequently misconstrued. The risk for outbreaks is often presumed to be very high in the chaos that follows natural disasters, a fear likely derived from a perceived association ...

Communicability in complex brain networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
Recent advances in experimental neuroscience allow, for the first time, non-invasive studies of the white matter tracts in the human central nervous system, thus making available cutting-edge brain anatomical data describing these global connectivity patterns. This new, non-invasive, technique uses magnetic resonance imaging to construct a snap-shot of
