Effect of General Cross-Immunity Protection and Antibody- Dependent Enhancement in Dengue Dynamics
(2022-02-13)A mathematical model to describe the dynamic of a multiserotype infectious disease at the population level is studied. Applied to dengue fever epidemiology, we analyse a mathematical model with time delay to describe the ... -
The effect of mixed vaccination rollout strategy: A modelling study
(2023-03-10)Vaccines have measurable efficacy obtained first from vaccine trials. However, vaccine efficacy (VE) is not a static measure and long-term population studies are needed to evaluate its performance and impact. COVID-19 ... -
Effect of Tissue Elasticity in Cardiac Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation Models
(2018)Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is an effective treatment for different types of cardiac arrhythmias. However, major complications can occur, including thrombus formation and steam pops. We present a full 3D ... -
Effects of noise on leaky integrate-and-fire neuron models for neuromorphic computing applications
(2022)Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been extensively used for the description of problems arising from biological systems and for constructing neuromorphic computing models. The third generation of ANNs, namely, ... -
Effects of optogenetic and visual stimulation on gamma activity in the visual cortex
(2023-11-01)Studying brain functions and activity during gamma oscillations can be a challenge because it requires careful planning to create the necessary conditions for a controlled experiment. Such an experiment consists of placing ... -
The effects of public health measures on severe dengue cases: An optimal control approach
(2023-07)Dengue fever is the most important viral mosquito-borne disease worldwide, with approximately 3.9 billion people at risk of acquiring dengue infection. Measures against mosquito bite combined with vector control programs ... -
Effects of random inputs and short-term synaptic plasticity in a LIF conductance model for working memory applications
(2022)Working memory (WM) has been intensively used to enable the temporary storing of information for processing purposes, playing an important role in the execution of various cognitive tasks. Recent studies have shown that ... -
Electrochemical Potential Derived from Atomic Cluster Structures
(2016-01-01)Based on the atomic cluster structures and free electron approximation model, it is revealed that the electrochemical potential (ECP) for the system of interest is proportional to the reciprocal of atomic cluster radius ... -
Enhancing sampling in atomistic simulations of solid state materials for batteries: a focus on olivine NaFePO$_4$
(2017-03-07)The study of ion transport in electrochemically active materials for energy storage systems requires simulations on quantum-, atomistic- and meso-scales. The methods accessing these scales not only have to be effective but ... -
Enhancing Sampling in Computational Statistics Using Modified Hamiltonians
(2016-11-15)The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) method has been recognized as a powerful sampling tool in computational statistics. In this thesis, we show that performance of HMC can be dramatically improved by replacing Hamiltonians ... -
Estimation of age-specific rates of reactivation and immune boosting of the varicella zoster virus
(2016-12-31)Studies into the impact of vaccination against the varicella zoster virus (VZV) have increasingly focused on herpes zoster (HZ), which is believed to be increasing in vaccinated populations with decreasing infection pressure. ... -
Ethics of a partially effective dengue vaccine: Lessons from the Philippines
(2020-07)Dengvaxia, a chimeric yellow fever tetravalent dengue vaccine developed by SanofiPasteur is widely licensed in dengue-endemic countries. In a large cohort study Dengvaxia was found to partially protect children who had ... -
The Euler characteristic as a topological marker for outbreaks in vector-borne disease
(2022-12-01)Abstract. Epidemic outbreaks represent a significant concern for the current state of global health, particularly in Brazil, the epicentre of several vector-borne disease outbreaks and where epidemic control is still a ... -
An even simpler understanding of quantum weak values
(2018-01)We explain the properties and clarify the meaning of quantum weak values using only the basic notions of elementary quantum mechanics. -
Excitation of plasmons in a two-dimensional electron gas with defects by microwaves: Wake-field method
(2011-12-31)We develop an analytical method to find plasmons generated by microwaves in a two-dimensional electron gas with defects. The excitations are expressed in terms of the wake field of a charged particle moving in plasma. The ... -
Existence, Uniqueness, and Numerical Modeling of Wine Fermentation Based on Integro-Differential Equations
(2022)Predictive modeling is key for saving time and resources in manufacturing processes such as fermentation arising in food and chemical manufacturing. To make reliable predictions, realistic models representing the most ... -
The Experiment Data Depot: A Web-Based Software Tool for Biological Experimental Data Storage, Sharing, and Visualization
(2017-09-30)Although recent advances in synthetic biology allow us to produce biological designs more efficiently than ever, our ability to predict the end result of these designs is still nascent. Predictive models require large ... -
Exploring Li-ion conductivity in cubic, tetragonal and mixed-phase Al-substituted Li7La3Zr2O12 using atomistic simulations and effective medium theory
(2019-08-15)Garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) is a promising solid electrolyte candidate for solid-state Li-ion batteries, but at room temperature it crystallizes in a poorly Li-ion conductive tetragonal phase. To this end, partial substitution ... -
