A Deleuzian Examination of Anorexia & Recovery: Opening up Possibilities for Conceptualizing Care
Nursing Philosophy, Volume 27, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Anorexia, a type of eating disorder, holds the highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses. Contemporary etiological consensus reflected in eating disorder literature views anorexia as the result of an interplay between biological, psychological, and social factors.

Hybrid Reaction–Diffusion Epidemic Models: Dynamics and Emergence of Oscillations
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 4074-4095, 30 March 2026.ABSTRACT In this paper, we construct a hybrid epidemic mathematical model based on a reaction–diffusion system of the SIR (susceptible‐infected‐recovered) type. This model integrates the impact of random factors on the transmission rate of infectious diseases, represented by a probabilistic process acting at discrete time steps.

Shift of percolation thresholds for epidemic spread between static and dynamic small-world networks
, 2010 The aim of the study was to compare the epidemic spread on static and dynamic small-world networks. The network was constructed as a 2-dimensional Watts-Strogatz model (500x500 square lattice with additional shortcuts), and the dynamics involved rewiring

Modeling Airborne Influenza in Three Dimensions
Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.A novel 3D fluid dynamics model demonstrates how influenza outbreaks spread spatially via “epidemic flow.” Simulations reveal that direct contact is the dominant transmission route over aerosol spread, offering a new tool to inform targeted public health interventions and spatially‐aware risk assessment.

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.We develop and analyze a fractional‐order avian influenza chicken model for chicken farms, providing existence, uniqueness, and stability results. With real Bangladesh farm data and 80% vaccine efficacy, numerical results show that combining vaccination and treatment can control disease spread by reducing the basic reproduction number below one ...

Systematic biases in disease forecasting – The role of behavior change
Epidemics, 2019 In a simple susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model, the initial speed at which infected cases increase is indicative of the long-term trajectory of the outbreak.

Network-based prediction of COVID-19 epidemic spreading in Italy
Applied Network Science, 2020 Initially emerged in the Chinese city Wuhan and subsequently spread almost worldwide causing a pandemic, the SARS-CoV-2 virus follows reasonably well the Susceptible–Infectious–Recovered (SIR) epidemic model on contact networks in the Chinese case.

Properties of highly clustered networks
, 2003 We propose and solve exactly a model of a network that has both a tunable degree distribution and a tunable clustering coefficient. Among other things, our results indicate that increased clustering leads to a decrease in the size of the giant component ...

Small, Volume 22, Issue 16, 17 March 2026.Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.
