Discrete Inverse Method for Extracting Disease Transmission Rates from Accessible Infection Data
Download2024-06-01
Abstract (description taken from this, pre-print version of the article) Accurate estimation of the transmissibility of an infectious disease is critical to understanding disease transmission dynamics and designing effective control strategies. However, it has always been difficult to estimate...

Abstract from Author: "Elucidating the mechanism of effect of phosphate (PO43−) uptake on the growth of algal cells helps understand the frequent outbreaks of algal blooms caused by eutrophication. In this study, we develop a comprehensive mathematical model that incorporates two stages of PO43−...

The impact of water storage capacity on plant dynamics in arid environments: a stoichiometric modeling approach
Download2024-03-01
Wang, Cuihua, Yuan, Sanling, Wang, Hao
Abstract from Author: "Plants in arid environments have evolved many strategies to resist drought. Among them, the developed water storage tissue is an essential characteristic of xerophytes. To clarify the role of water storage capacity in plant performance, we originally formulate a...

Global analysis of an age-structured tuberculosis model with an application to Jiangsu, China
Download2024-04-02
Jing, Shuanglin, Xue, Ling, Wang, Hao, Peng, Zhihang
Abstract (taken from the article) Diagnostic delay for TB infected individuals and the lack of TB vaccines for adults are the main challenges to achieve the goals of WHO by 2050. In order to evaluate the impacts of diagnostic delay and vaccination for adults on prevalence of TB, we propose an...

Controlling smoking: A smoking epidemic model with different smoking degrees in deterministic and stochastic environments
Download2024-02-01
Zhang, Shengqiang, Meng, Yanling, Chakraborty, Amit Kumar, Wang, Hao
Abstract (description taken from article) Engaging in smoking not only leads to substantial health risks but also imposes considerable financial burdens. To deepen our understanding of the mechanisms behind smoking transmission and to address the tobacco epidemic, we examined a five-dimensional...

Liu, Guodong, Wang, Hao, Zhang, Xiaoyan
Abstract (description taken from article) Fick’s law and the Fokker–Planck law of diffusion are applied to manifest the cognitive dispersal of individuals in two reaction-diffusion SEIR epidemic models, where the disease transmission is illustrated by nonlocal infection mechanisms in...

Abstract (description taken from article) Toxic cyanobacterial blooms (CBs) are becoming more frequent globally, posing a threat to freshwater ecosystems. While making long-range forecasts is overly challenging, predicting imminent CBs is possible from precise monitoring data of the underlying...

Abstract (description taken from article) Microplastics pose a severe threat to marine ecosystems; however, relevant mathematical modeling and analysis are lacking. This paper formulates two stoichiometric producer-grazer models to investigate the interactive effects of microplastics, nutrients,...

Abstract taken from the article Spatial memory is key in animal movement modeling, but it has been challenging to explicitly model learning to describe memory acquisition. In this paper, we study novel cognitive consumer-resource models with different consumer learning mechanisms and investigate...
