Improved time-varying reproduction numbers using the generation interval for COVID-19 [PDF]
Estimating key epidemiological parameters, such as incubation period, serial interval (SI), generation interval (GI) and latent period, is essential to quantify the transmissibility and effects of various interventions of COVID-19.

Serial Interval and Generation Interval for Imported and Local Infectors, Respectively, Estimated Using Reported Contact-Tracing Data of COVID-19 in China [PDF]
The emerging virus, COVID-19, has caused a massive outbreak worldwide. Based on the publicly available contact-tracing data, we identified 509 transmission chains from 20 provinces in China and estimated the serial interval (SI) and generation interval ...

Noise, transient dynamics, and the generation of realistic interspike interval variation in square-wave burster neurons [PDF]
First return maps of interspike intervals for biological neurons that generate repetitive bursts of impulses can display stereotyped structures (neuronal signatures).

Epidemics with general generation interval distributions [PDF]
We study the spread of susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) infectious diseases where an individual's infectiousness and probability of recovery depend on his/her "age" of infection. We focus first on early outbreak stages when stochastic effects dominate and show that epidemics tend to happen faster than deterministic calculations predict.

Extended interval BNT162b2 vaccination enhances peak antibody generation [PDF]
The BNT162b2 vaccine is highly effective against COVID-19 infection and was delivered with a 3-week time interval in registration studies1. However, many countries extended this interval to accelerate population coverage with a single vaccine.

Estimating the generation interval and inferring the latent period of COVID-19 from the contact tracing data [PDF]
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged by end of 2019, and became a serious public health threat globally in less than half a year. The generation interval and latent period, though both are of importance in understanding the features of COVID ...

An Interval-Valued Time Series Forecasting Scheme With Probability Distribution Features for Electric Power Generation Prediction [PDF]
Developing an effective interval-valued time series (ITS) forecasting scheme for electric power generation is an important issue for energy operators and governments when making energy strategic decisions.

Genetic gain, increase in inbreeding rate and generation interval in alternatives of Pinzgau breeding program [PDF]
The aim of this paper was to analyse alternatives of Pinzgau breeding program. Alternatives were optimised for genetic gain of selection index composed of parameters of milk efficiency traits and increase in inbreeding per generation.
