Critical fluctuations in epidemic models explain COVID‑19 post‑lockdown dynamics
Aguiar, M.
; BidaurrazagaVan‑Dierdonc, J.; Mar, J.; Cusimano, N.; Knopoff, D.; Anam, V.; Stollenwerk, N. (2021-07-06)
; BidaurrazagaVan‑Dierdonc, J.; Mar, J.; Cusimano, N.; Knopoff, D.; Anam, V.; Stollenwerk, N. (2021-07-06)
As the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, research on mathematical modeling became imperative and
very influential to understand the epidemiological dynamics of disease spreading. The momentary
reproduction ratio r(t) of an ...
Unveiling Interfacial Li-Ion Dynamics in Li7La3Zr2O12/PEO(LiTFSI) Composite Polymer-Ceramic Solid Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries
Rincón, M.; García Daza, F.A.; Ranque, P.; Aguesse, F.; Carrasco, J.; Akhmatskaya, E. (2021-06-23)
; García Daza, F.A.; Ranque, P.; Aguesse, F.; Carrasco, J.; Akhmatskaya, E. (2021-06-23)
Unlocking the full potential of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is key to enabling safer and more-energy dense technologies than today’s Li-ion batteries. In particular, composite materials comprising a conductive, flexible ...
Targeting Impaired Antimicrobial Immunity in the Brain for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Fülöp, T.; Tripathi, S.; Rodrigues, S.; Desroches, M.; Bunt, T.; Eiser, A.; Bernier, F.; Beauregard, P.; Barron, A.; Khalil, A.; Plotka, A.; Hirokawa, K.; Larbi, A.; Bocti, C.; Laurent, B.; Frost, E.; Witkowski, J. (2021-05-04)
; Rodrigues, S.; Desroches, M.; Bunt, T.; Eiser, A.; Bernier, F.; Beauregard, P.; Barron, A.; Khalil, A.; Plotka, A.; Hirokawa, K.; Larbi, A.; Bocti, C.; Laurent, B.; Frost, E.; Witkowski, J. (2021-05-04)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and aging is the most common risk factor for developing the disease. The etiology of AD is not known but AD may be considered as a clinical syndrome with multiple ...
Spike-adding and reset-induced canard cycles in adaptive integrate and fire models
Desroches, M.; Kowalczyk, P.; Rodrigues, S. (2021-05-03)
; Kowalczyk, P.; Rodrigues, S. (2021-05-03)
We study a class of planar integrate and fire (IF) models called adaptive integrate and fire (AIF) models, which possesses an adaptation vari- able on top of membrane potential, and whose subthreshold dynamics is piece- ...
Variance Reduction with Array-RQMC for Tau-Leaping Simulation of Stochastic Biological and Chemical Reaction Networks
Puchhammer, F.; Ben Abdellah, A.; L'Ecuyer, P. (2021)
; Ben Abdellah, A.; L'Ecuyer, P. (2021)
We explore the use of Array-RQMC, a randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method designed for the simulation of Markov chains, to reduce the variance when simulating stochastic biological or chemical reaction networks with ...
Mathematical models for glioma growth and migration inside the brain
(2021-01)
Gliomas are the most prevalent, aggressive, and invasive subtype of primary brain tumors, characterized by rapid cell proliferation and great infiltration capacity. De- spite the advances of clinical research, these tumors ...
A space-fractional bidomain framework for cardiac electrophysiology: 1D alternans dynamics
Cusimano, N.; Gerardo-Giorda, L.; Gizzi, A. (2021)
; Gerardo-Giorda, L.; Gizzi, A. (2021)
Cardiac electrophysiology modeling deals with a complex network of excitable cells forming an intricate syncytium: the heart. The electrical activity of the heart shows recurrent spatial patterns of activation, known as ...
Microbial production of advanced biofuels
(2021)
Concerns over climate change have necessitated a rethinking of our transportation infrastructure. One possible alternative to carbon-polluting fossil fuels are biofuels produced from a renewable carbon source using engineered ...
What is life? A perspective of the mathematical kinetic theory of active particles
Bellomo, N.; Burini, D.; Dosi, G.; Gibelli, L.; Knopoff, D.A.; Outada, N.; Terna, P.; Virgillito, M.E. (2021)
; Outada, N.; Terna, P.; Virgillito, M.E. (2021)
The modeling of living systems composed of many interacting entities is treated in this paper with the aim of describing their collective behaviors. The mathematical approach is developed within the general framework of ...
A multiscale network-based model of contagion dynamics: heterogeneity, spatial distancing and vaccination
Aguiar, M.; Dosi, G.; Knopoff, D.A.; Virgillito, M.E. (2021)
; Dosi, G.; Knopoff, D.A.; Virgillito, M.E. (2021)
Lockdown and vaccination policies have been the major concern in the last year in order to contain the SARS-CoV-2 infection during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper we present a model able to evaluate alternative lockdown ...
