Testing Modeling Assumptions in the West Africa Ebola Outbreak [PDF]
, 2016 The Ebola virus in West Africa has infected almost 30,000 and killed over 11,000 people. Recent models of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) have often made assumptions about how the disease spreads, such as uniform transmissibility and homogeneous mixing within ...

Realistic assumptions about spatial locations and clustering of premises matter for models of foot-and-mouth disease spread in the United States [PDF]
, 2020 Spatially explicit livestock disease models require demographic data for individual farms or premises. In the U.S., demographic data are only available aggregated at county or coarser scales, so disease models must rely on assumptions about how ...

Design, Experiment, and Improvement of a Quasi-Zero-Stiffness Vibration Isolation System
Applied Sciences, 2020 This paper proposes a new kind of quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) isolation system that has the property of low-dynamic but high-static stiffness. The negative stiffness was produced using two magnetic rings, the magnetization of which is axial.

Epidemics in Networks of Spatially Correlated Three-dimensional Root Branching Structures
, 2011 Using digitized images of the three-dimensional, branching structures for root systems of bean seedlings, together with analytical and numerical methods that map a common 'SIR' epidemiological model onto the bond percolation problem, we show how the ...

The Effects of Evolutionary Adaptations on Spreading Processes in Complex Networks
, 2019 A common theme among the proposed models for network epidemics is the assumption that the propagating object, i.e., a virus or a piece of information, is transferred across the nodes without going through any modification or evolution.

Viruses, 2021 Genetically diverse influenza A viruses (IAVs) circulate in wild aquatic birds. From this reservoir, IAVs sporadically cause outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics in wild and domestic avians, wild land and sea mammals, horses, canines, felines, swine ...
