Meteorological indicators of dengue epidemics in non-endemic Northwest Argentina [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In the last two decades dengue cases increased significantly throughout the world. In several regions dengue re-emerged, particularly in Latin America, where dengue cases not only increased but also occurred more frequently. It is therefore necessary to understand the mechanisms that drive epidemic outbreaks in non-endemic regions, to help in the ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and discontinuous phase transition for spreading dynamics in multiplex networks [PDF]
New J. Phys. 20 (2018) 125006, 2019 We propose a spreading model in multilayer networks and study the nature of nonequilibrium phase transition in the model. The model integrates the susceptible-infected-susceptible (or susceptible-infected-recovered) spreading dynamics with a biased diffusion process among different layers.
