Effects of diffusion rates on epidemic spreads in metapopulation networks
, 2010 It is often useful to represent the infectious dynamics of mobile agents by metapopulation models. In such a model, metapopulations form a static network, and individuals migrate from one metapopulation to another.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 In this paper, I propose an economic theory that addresses the epidemic character of opioid epidemics. I consider a community in which individuals are heterogenous with respect to the experience of chronic pain and susceptibility to addiction and live through two periods.

Suppressing epidemic spreading by risk-averse migration in dynamical networks
, 2018 In this paper, we study the interplay between individual behaviors and epidemic spreading in a dynamical network. We distribute agents on a square-shaped region with periodic boundary conditions.

Opportunities for Refinement of Non-Human Primate Vaccine Studies
Vaccines, 2021 Non-human primates (NHPs) are used extensively in the development of vaccines and therapeutics for human disease. High standards in the design, conduct, and reporting of NHP vaccine studies are crucial for maximizing their scientific value and ...

Contagions in Random Networks with Overlapping Communities
, 2014 We consider a threshold epidemic model on a clustered random graph with overlapping communities. In other words, our epidemic model is such that an individual becomes infected as soon as the proportion of her infected neighbors exceeds the threshold q of

Animals, 2023 Currently, the lack of protein source feed has become a pressing issue. Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) has good potential for the development of protein-derived feeds due to its good protein quality and abundance, but little is known about its ...

Coupling a branching process to an infinite dimensional epidemic process [PDF]
, 2007 Branching process approximation to the initial stages of an epidemic process has been used since the 1950's as a technique for providing stochastic counterparts to deterministic epidemic threshold theorems.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 This paper studies the spread of the Black Death as a proxy for the ow of medieval trade between 1346 and 1351. The Black Death struck most areas of Europe and the wider Mediter- ranean. Based on a modified version of the gravity model, we estimate the speed (in kilometers per day) of transmission of the disease between the transmitting and the ...

Optimal Vaccine Allocation to Control Epidemic Outbreaks in Arbitrary Networks
, 2013 We consider the problem of controlling the propagation of an epidemic outbreak in an arbitrary contact network by distributing vaccination resources throughout the network.

A Convex Framework for Optimal Investment on Disease Awareness in Social Networks [PDF]
, 2013 We consider the problem of controlling the propagation of an epidemic outbreak in an arbitrary network of contacts by investing on disease awareness throughout the network.
