The role of mobility and sanitary measures on Covid-19 in Costa Rica, March through July 2020 [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to infer the effects that changes on human mobility had on the transmission dynamics during the first four months of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Costa Rica, before community transmission was established in the country. By using parametric and non parametric detection change-point techniques we were able to identify two different

Optimization of Dengue Epidemics: a test case with different discretization schemes [PDF]
The incidence of Dengue epidemiologic disease has grown in recent decades. In this paper an application of optimal control in Dengue epidemics is presented. The mathematical model includes the dynamic of Dengue mosquito, the affected persons, the people's motivation to combat the mosquito and the inherent social cost of the disease, such as cost with ...

Dynamics of Dengue epidemics using optimal control [PDF]
We present an application of optimal control theory to Dengue epidemics. This epidemiologic disease is an important theme in tropical countries due to the growing number of infected individuals. The dynamic model is described by a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, that depend on the dynamic of the Dengue mosquito, the number of infected

Recovery of Ammonium Sulfate Solution by Regeneration of Loaded Clinoptilolite
The zeolite clinoptilolite (CLI) is known to be a very good ion exchanger, as it consists of a three-dimensional structure formed of AlO4− and SiO4 tetrahedral, which are connected by a common oxygen atom.
