Asymmetrically interacting spreading dynamics on complex layered networks [PDF]
The spread of disease through a physical-contact network and the spread of information about the disease on a communication network are two intimately related dynamical processes.

Background Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is a garlic-derived organosulfur compound. As it has been shown to have anti-viral activity, we hypothesized that it may alleviate infections caused by H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV), which is prevalent in poultry ...

Epidemics on random graphs with tunable clustering [PDF]
In this paper, a branching process approximation for the spread of a Reed-Frost epidemic on a network with tunable clustering is derived. The approximation gives rise to expressions for the epidemic threshold and the probability of a large outbreak in ...
