Photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under ultraviolet light associated or not with chemical ultraviolet filters evaluated by Raman spectroscopy

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under UV‐A and UV‐B irradiation using Raman spectroscopy. Pure DEET and IR‐3535 showed intrinsic photostability, whereas DEET diluted in ethanol and a commercial DEET‐based formulation exhibited significant spectral changes after UV exposure.

icon: Fast Simulation of Epidemics on Coevolving Networks

open access: yesCoRR
We introduce a fast simulation technique for modeling epidemics on adaptive networks. Our rejection-based algorithm efficiently simulates the co-evolution of the network structure and the epidemic dynamics. We extend the classical SIS model by incorporating stochastic rules that allow for the association of susceptible nodes and the dissociation of ...

A comparison of discrete event simulation and system dynamics for modelling health care systems

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper we discuss two different approaches to simulation, discrete event simulation and system dynamics. Both have been used widely in the health care domain, although there are fewer applications of system dynamics.

Foreign Direct Investment and Maritime Transportation Infrastructure: Competition Effects Under the Belt and Road Initiative

open access: yesThe World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we analyse the determinants of maritime connections, with a special focus on the importance of foreign direct investments (FDI) in improving maritime transportation networks and in restructuring them. We are also interested in how China, in particular, impacts countries' integration to global supply chains through maritime ...

An innovative modelling proposal for the blood supply chain

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Whole‐blood donation and apheresis are the only ways to obtain blood components for human use. Tools are being developed to improve the efficiency of blood donation systems by reducing waste, increasing donations and preventing shortages.

Monte Carlo Simulation of a Nonlinear Epidemic

open access: yes, 2003
An event-driven Monte Carlo method is used to simulate a simple, nonlinear epidemic. This model illustrates how quickly and to what degree an epidemic spreads through a population.

Mechanistic insights into sex differences in atrial electrophysiology and arrhythmia vulnerability through sex‐specific computational models

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sex‐specific models of the human atrial myocyte in normal sinus rhythm (nSR) and chronic atrial fibrillation (cAF) revealed increased alternans susceptibility in cAF males and DADs in females, driven primarily by ICaL and ryanodine receptor remodelling.

Reframing Airport Choice in Platform Logistics: The Case of Amazon Air

open access: yesTransportation Journal, Volume 65, Issue 1, Winter 2026.
ABSTRACT While the substantial growth of e‐commerce has transformed air cargo from a peripheral service into a major revenue source in air transportation, airports, key nodes in this network, have increasingly benefited from this shift. The emergence of new players such as Amazon Air has significantly influenced the revenue growth trajectories of many ...
