Symmetry in a multi-strain epidemiological model with distributed delay as a general cross-protection period and disease enhancement factor
(2024-01)Important biological features of viral infectious diseases caused by multiple agents with interacting strain dynamics continue to pose challenges for mathematical modelling development. Motivated by dengue fever epidemiology, ... -
Optimal vaccination strategies for a heterogenous population using multiple objectives: The case of L1 and L2-formulations
(2023-12)The choice of the objective functional in optimization problems coming from biomedical and epidemiological applications plays a key role in optimal control outcomes. In this study, we investigate the role of the objective ... -
Cost-effectiveness analysis of vaccines for COVID-19 according to sex, comorbidity and socioeconomics status: a population study
(2023-11-01)Background and Objective Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are extremely effective in preventing severe disease, but their real-world cost-effectiveness is still an open question. We present an analysis of the ... -
A High-Quality Genome-Scale Model for Rhodococcus opacus Metabolism
(2023)Rhodococcus opacus is a bacterium that has a high tolerance to aromatic compounds and can produce significant amounts of triacylglycerol (TAG). Here, we present iGR1773, the first genome-scale model (GSM) of R. opacus PD630 ... -
Changes in Social and Clinical Determinants of COVID-19 Outcomes Achieved by the Vaccination Program: A Nationwide Cohort Study
(2022)Background: The objective of this study was to assess changes in social and clinical determinants of COVID-19 outcomes associated with the first year of COVID-19 vaccination rollout in the Basque population. Methods: A ... -
Data-driven estimation of the instantaneous reproduction number and growth rates for the 2022 monkeypox outbreak in Europe
(2023-09-13)Objective: To estimate the instantaneous reproduction number $R_t$ and the epidemic growth rates for the 2022 monkeypox outbreaks in the European region. Methods: We gathered daily laboratory-confirmed monkeypox cases in ... -
Molecular Insight into the Self-Assembly Process of Cellulose Iβ Microfibril
(2022-08-01)The self-assembly process of β-D-glucose oligomers on the surface of cellulose Iβ microfibril involves crystallization, and this process is analyzed herein, in terms of the length and flexibility of the oligomer chain, by ... -
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 ... -
Impact of Glucose on the Nanostructure and Mechanical Properties of Calcium-Alginate Hydrogels
(2022-02-01)Alginate is a polysaccharide obtained from brown seaweed that is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological applications due to its versatility as a viscosifier and gelling agent. Here, we investigated the ... -
A Spatial Kinetic Model of Crowd Evacuation Dynamics with Infectious Disease Contagion
(2023-04-01)This paper proposes a kinetic theory approach coupling together the modeling of crowd evacuation from a bounded domain with exit doors and infectious disease contagion. The spatial movement of individuals in the crowd is ... -
Coupled stochastic systems of Skorokhod type: well-posedness of a mathematical model and its applications
(2022)Population dynamics with complex biological interactions, accounting for uncertainty quantification, is critical for many application areas. However, due to the complexity of biological systems, the mathematical formulation ... -
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 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 ... -
Nonlocal Models in the Analysis of Brain Neurodegenerative Protein Dynamics with Application to Alzheimer's Disease
