Epidemic potential by sexual activity distributions [PDF]

Network Science, 2017
AbstractFor sexually transmitted infections like HIV to propagate through a population, there must be a path linking susceptible cases to currently infectious cases. The existence of such paths depends in part on the degree distribution. Here, we use simulation methods to examine how two features of the degree distribution affect network connectivity ...

Reply to 'Comment on "Vortex distribution in a confining potential" [PDF]

, 2014
We argue that contrary to recent suggestions, non-extensive statistical mechanics has no relevance for inhomogeneous systems of particles interacting by short-range potentials.

Potential effects of climate change on the distribution of invasive bullfrogs Lithobates catesbeianus in China

Acta Herpetologica, 2020
Climate plays important roles in determining the geographical distribution of species, including the invasion area of alien species. Little is known, however, about the influence of climate change on the distribution area of invasive amphibian species in

Variable geographic distribution of Blastocystis subtypes and its potential implications. [PDF]

, 2013
Blastocystis is a common intestinal micro-eukaryote found in both humans and non-human hosts and known to be genetically very diverse. It has been divided into numerous subtypes (STs), nine of which have been identified in humans to date.

Type Ia Supernovae: An Examination of Potential Progenitors and the Redshift Distribution [PDF]

, 1997
We examine the possibility that supernovae type Ia (SN Ia) are produced by white dwarfs accreting from Roche-lobe filling evolved companions, under the assumption that a strong optically thick stellar wind from accretor is able to stabilize the mass ...

Distributed sensor deployment using potential fields

Ad Hoc Networks, 2017
Abstract Maximization of sensing coverage has been an important problem in mobile sensor networks. In this work, we present two novel algorithms for maximizing sensing coverage in 2D and 3D spaces. We evaluate our methods by comparing with two previously proposed methods. All the four methods are based on potential fields.
