Reconstructing the 2003/2004 H3N2 influenza epidemic in Switzerland with a spatially explicit, individual-based model

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2011
Background Simulation models of influenza spread play an important role for pandemic preparedness. However, as the world has not faced a severe pandemic for decades, except the rather mild H1N1 one in 2009, pandemic influenza models are inherently ...

Dynamic communicability and epidemic spread: a case study on an empirical dynamic contact network

, 2016
We analyze a recently proposed temporal centrality measure applied to an empirical network based on person-to-person contacts in an emergency department of a busy urban hospital. We show that temporal centrality identifies a distinct set of top-spreaders

Environmental Total Factor Productivity and the Cost‐Effectiveness of GHG Emission Reduction: The Case of Crop Production in China

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT China's diversified agricultural policies have effectively improved both the yield and environmental performance of the crop sector. Quantifying productivity trends and their drivers is key to formulating strategies for high‐quality and low‐carbon crop development.

Defining and measuring homicide rates for birth cohorts: Methodological and theoretical challenges and solutions

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Social scientists have long been interested in understanding how age, period, and cohort effects shape long‐term homicide trends. Yet fundamental measurement challenges remain pervasive in estimating age‐specific homicide rates for birth cohorts.

Analysis of plant and environmental samples for the quarantine fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa in four European citrus‐growing areas

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Methodologies for the early detection of Phyllosticta citricarpa in air and rainwater samples were developed and applied over three consecutive years (2018–2021) in four European citrus sites, previously reported to harbour the pathogen. Phyllosticta citricarpa was not detected in plant, air, or rainwater samples, and no CBS symptoms were observed on ...

A Monte Carlo method for the spread of mobile malware [PDF]

, 2015
A new model for the spread of mobile malware based on proximity (i.e. Bluetooth, ad-hoc WiFi or NFC) is introduced. The spread of malware is analyzed using a Monte Carlo method and the results of the simulation are compared with those from mean field ...

Kinetic Modeling of Local Epidemic Spread and Its Simulation [PDF]

Journal of Scientific Computing, 2017
The local epidemic spread in physical space is modeled using the kinetic equation. In particular, the infection occurs via the binary interaction between the uninfected and infected individuals. Then, the local epidemic spread can be modeled on the basis of the stochastic Boltzmann type equation.

Long‐term effects of a peer‐led Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) intervention to reduce alcohol consumption among Spanish university students: A 12‐month randomised controlled trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Harmful alcohol consumption remains widespread among university students and is associated with numerous academic, social and health‐related consequences. Peer‐led approaches offer a promising strategy to reduce risky drinking in this population.
