Quantifying the role of social distancing, personal protection and case detection in mitigating COVID-19 outbreak in Ontario, Canada

Journal of Mathematics in Industry, 2020
Public health interventions have been implemented to mitigate the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Ontario, Canada; however, the quantification of their effectiveness remains to be done and is important to determine if some of the social ...

Quantifying the relationship between lockdowns, mobility, and effective reproduction number (Rt) during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Greater Toronto Area

BMC Public Health, 2021
The effectiveness of lockdowns in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 has been the subject of intense debate. Data on the relationship between public health restrictions, mobility, and pandemic growth has so far been conflicting.

The estimation of the effective reproductive number from disease outbreak data

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2009
We consider a single outbreak susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model and corresponding estimation procedures for the effective reproductive number $\mathcal{R}(t)$. We discuss the estimation of the underlying SIR parameters with a generalized least squares (GLS) estimation technique.

Analysis of SVEIL Model of Tuberculosis Disease Spread with Imperfect Vaccination

JTAM (Jurnal Teori dan Aplikasi Matematika), 2023
This study proposes a SVEIL model of tuberculosis disease spread with imperfect vaccination. Susceptible individuals can receive imperfect vaccination, but over the time the vaccine efficacy will decrease.

Estimating the Transmissibility of Mumps: A Modelling Study in Wuhan City, China

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Despite the adoption of a national immunization program in China, the incidence of mumps remains high. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological characteristics, including the time, region, occupation, and age, of mumps in Wuhan from 2005 to 2018 ...

Prediction of the effective reproduction number of COVID-19 in Greece. A machine learning approach using Google mobility data.

medRxiv, 2021
This paper demonstrates how a short-term prediction of the effective reproduction number (Rt) of COVID-19 in regions of Greece is achieved based on online mobility data.

Effect of the number and diversity of visual stimuli on the reproduction of short time intervals

Perception, 2023
Presenting more items within a space makes the space look and feel bigger. Presenting more tones within a time interval makes the interval seem longer. Does presenting more visual items also make a time interval seem longer? Does it matter what these items are? A series of 2–4 images were presented sequentially on a screen.

Estimating the effective reproduction number of dengue considering temperature-dependent generation intervals

Epidemics, 2018
The effective reproduction number, Rt, is a measure of transmission that can be calculated from standard incidence data to timely detect the beginning of epidemics. It has being increasingly used for surveillance of directly transmitted diseases. However,

Control measures during the COVID-19 outbreak reduced the transmission of hand, foot, and mouth disease

Journal of Safety Science and Resilience, 2021
Control measures during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak may have limited the spread of infectious diseases. This study aimed to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in China. A mathematical
