Impact of temporal correlations on high risk outbreaks of independent and cooperative SIR dynamics [PDF]
, 2020 We first propose a quantitative approach to detect high risk outbreaks of independent and coinfective SIR dynamics on three empirical networks: a school, a conference and a hospital contact network. This measurement is based on the k-means clustering method and identifies proper samples for calculating the mean outbreak size and the outbreak ...

2011 German Escherichia coli outbreak: Alignment-free whole-genome phylogeny by feature frequency profiles [PDF]
, 2011 Accuracy of SNP-based whole-genome phylogeny reconstruction relies heavily on quality of sequence alignment which is particularly hindered by poorly assembled genomes. Alignment-free methods might provide additional insights. Here, we constructed a whole-

Dynamical epidemic suppression using stochastic prediction and control [PDF]
PHYSICAL REVIEW E 70 (4): Art. No. 046220 Part 2 OCT 2004, 2005 We consider the effects of noise on a model of epidemic outbreaks, where the outbreaks appear. randomly. Using a constructive transition approach that predicts large outbreaks, prior to their occurrence, we derive an adaptive control. scheme that prevents large outbreaks from occurring.

Synchronized and mixed outbreaks of coupled recurrent epidemics [PDF]
Scientific Reports 7,2424 (2017), 2016 Epidemic spreading has been studied for a long time and most of them are focused on the growing aspect of a single epidemic outbreak. Recently, we extended the study to the case of recurrent epidemics (Sci. Rep. {\bf 5}, 16010 (2015)) but limited only to a single network. We here report from the real data of coupled regions or cities that the recurrent
