Epidemic thresholds in dynamic contact networks [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2008
The reproductive ratio,R0, is a fundamental quantity in epidemiology, which determines the initial increase in an infectious disease in a susceptible host population. In most epidemic models, there is a specific value ofR0, the epidemic threshold, above which epidemics are possible, but below which epidemics cannot occur.

Assessing the Aerial Interconnectivity of Distant Reservoirs of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Many phytopathogenic fungi are disseminated as spores via the atmosphere from short to long distances. The distance of dissemination determines the extent to which plant diseases can spread and novel genotypes of pathogens can invade new territories ...

Competing contact processes in the Watts-Strogatz network

, 2015
We investigate two competing contact processes on a set of Watts--Strogatz networks with the clustering coefficient tuned by rewiring. The base for network construction is one-dimensional chain of $N$ sites, where each site $i$ is directly linked to ...

Critical point network for drainage between rough surfaces [PDF]

, 2007
In this paper, we present a network method for computing two-phase flows between two rough surfaces with significant contact areas. Low-capillary number drainage is investigated here since one-phase flows have been previously investigated in other ...

Parent Quality of Life at Two Years Following Their Child's Completion of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Parents of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often experience significant caregiver burden and disruption to their well‐being. While parent quality of life (QoL) during treatment is well characterized, little is known about outcomes during early survivorship.

Effects of Contact Network Models on Stochastic Epidemic Simulations

, 2017
The importance of modeling the spread of epidemics through a population has led to the development of mathematical models for infectious disease propagation.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Serious Osteonecrosis in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A CYP‐C Population‐Based Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Osteonecrosis (ON) is a debilitating complication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. While numerous studies have explored its incidence and associated risk factors, investigations using large‐scale cohorts remain important to characterize ON across heterogeneous populations.

Quantifying agent impacts on contact sequences in social interactions

Scientific Reports, 2022
Human social behavior plays a crucial role in how pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 or fake news spread in a population. Social interactions determine the contact network among individuals, while spreading, requiring individual-to-individual transmission, takes ...

Statistics of the contact network in frictional and frictionless granular packings [PDF]

, 2002
Simulated granular packings with different particle friction coefficient mu are examined. The distribution of the particle-particle and particle-wall normal and tangential contact forces P(f) are computed and compared with existing experimental data ...
