An Introduction to Mathematical Epidemiology

The Effects of the Weak Allee Effect and Disease on the Dynamics of a Predator–Prey System: Stability and Bifurcation Properties

In this paper, an eco-epidemiological model with a weak Allee effect and prey disease dynamics is discussed. Mathematical features such as non-negativity, boundedness of solutions, and local stability of the feasible equilibria are discusse...

Chaotic outbreak in discrete epidemic model with vaccination and quarantine interventions and limited medical resources

The spread of infectious diseases can be analyzed dynamically using a discrete dynamic system. The characteristics of the infectious disease phenomenon are interesting to study as parameters considered in a dynamic system. Some of these inc...

Review of Public Opinion Dynamics Models

Social network provides a medium for information dissemination,leading to the rapid development of public opinion.Controlling the development direction of public opinion is one of the core issues of public opinion dynamics.However,the publi...

The Mathematics of Financial Derivatives

Finance is one of the fastest growing areas in the modern banking and corporate world. This, together with the sophistication of modern financial products, provides a rapidly growing impetus for new mathematical models and modern mathematic...

Dengue serotype immune-interactions and their consequences for vaccine impact predictions

Dengue is one of the most important and wide-spread viral infections affecting human populations. The last few decades have seen a dramatic increase in the global burden of dengue, with the virus now being endemic or near-endemic in over 10...

Application of a Novel Multi-Agent Optimization Algorithm Based on PID Controllers in Stochastic Control Problems

The article considers the problem of finding the optimal on average control of the trajectories of continuous stochastic systems with incomplete feedback. This class of problems includes control problems in which the initial states are desc...

Mathematical Epidemiology

Mathematics of Computation

Beginning with the January 1960 issue, the title of Mathematical Tables and other Aids to Computation has been changed to Mathematics of Computation.The new name was unanimously adopted by the Editorial Committee in order to reflect the bro...

Mass variation observing system by high low inter-satellite links (MOBILE) – a new concept for sustained observation of mass transport from space

As changes in gravity are directly related to mass variability, satellite missions observing the Earth’s time varying gravity field are a unique tool for observing mass transport processes in the Earth system, such as the water cycle, rapid...

The economics of TAVI: A systematic review

Objective: The scope of this systematic review is to update the existing body of evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, stratified across all risk categories, and to assess their methodological...

Visit-to-visit variability of serum uric acid measurements and the risk of all-cause mortality in the general population

Abstract Background Evidence on longitudinal variability of serum uric acid (SUA) and risk of all-cause mortality in the general population is limited, as many prior studies focused on a single measurement of SUA. Methods A total of 53,956 ...

The Family Wellness Program: a bench to bedside translation of behavioral and social science research into a clinical program for intimate partners of warfighters following traumatic brain injury

This report details a bench to bedside translation of behavioral and social science research into a clinical program as a result of a collaboration between two United States Defense Health Agency Centers of Excellence for warfighter traumat...

Key principles for the improved conduct of health technology assessments for resource allocation decisions

Health technology assessment (HTA) is a dynamic, rapidly evolving process, embracing different types of assessments that inform real-world decisions about the value (i.e., benefits, risks, and costs) of new and existing technologies. Histor...

Health Technology Assessment

Health Technology AssessmentLa strategia della Politica Sanitaria moderna, dunque, non mira più a limitare la spesa tout-court, bensì ad assicurare ai cittadini, in termini di outcome di salute, il massimo che si può ricavare dall'impiego r...

HEALTH TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION RATES

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the rates and influences on the adoption of three selected health technologies: statins, coronary stents, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS: A retrospective diffusion study using primary care prescribing da...

Epidermal Growth Factor Induces Vasoconstriction Through the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase-Mediated Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathway in Hypertensive Rats

Abstract.: We investigated whether increased contractile responsiveness to epidermal growth factor (EGF) is associated with altered activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the aortic smooth muscle of deoxycorticosterone ace...
