• #### The Impact of Serotype Cross-Protection on Vaccine Trials: DENVax as a Case Study ﻿

(2020-11)
There is a growing public health need for effective preventive interventions against dengue, and a safe, effective and affordable dengue vaccine against the four serotypes would be a significant achievement for disease ...
• #### Incorporating landscape heterogeneities in the spread of an epidemics in wildlife ﻿

(2014-12-31)
One of the main difficulties in the modeling and numerical simulation of the spread of an infectious disease in wildlife resides in properly taking into account the heterogeneities of the landscape. Forests, plains and ...
• #### Information Flow between Resting-State Networks ﻿

(2015-12-31)
The resting brain dynamics self-organize into a finite number of correlated patterns known as resting-state networks (RSNs). It is well known that techniques such as independent component analysis can separate the brain ...
• #### An introduction to mathematical and numerical modeling in heart electrophysiology ﻿

(2016)
The electrical activation of the heart is the biological process that regulates the contraction of the cardiac muscle, allowing it to pump blood to the whole body. In physiological conditions, the pacemaker cells of the ...
• #### Is minimising the convergence rate a good choice for efficient optimized schwarz preconditioning in heterogeneous coupling? The Stokes-Darcy case ﻿

(2019-01-05)
• #### Is minimising the convergence rate the best choice for efficient Optimized Schwarz preconditioning in heterogeneous coupling? The Stokes-Darcy case ﻿

(2019)
Optimized Schwarz Methods (OSM) are domain decomposition techniques based on Robin-type interface condition that have became increasingly popular in the last two decades. Ensuring convergence also on non-overlapping ...
• #### Key aspects for effective mathematical modelling of fractional-diffusion in cardiac electrophysiology: A quantitative study ﻿

(2020-05)
Microscopic structural features of cardiac tissue play a fundamental role in determining complex spatio-temporal excitation dynamics at the macroscopic level. Recent efforts have been devoted to the development of mathematical ...
• #### Lagged and instantaneous dynamical influences related to brain structural connectivity ﻿

(2015-12-31)
Contemporary neuroimaging methods can shed light on the basis of human neural and cognitive specializations, with important implications for neuroscience and medicine. Indeed, different MRI acquisitions provide different ...
• #### Large-scale simulations of synthetic markets ﻿

(2015-10-08)
High-frequency trading has been experiencing an increase of interest both for practical purposes within nancial institutions and within academic research; recently, the UK Government O ce for Science reviewed the state ...
• #### A least-squares implicit RBF-FD closest point method and applications to PDEs on moving surfaces ﻿

(2018-10)
The closest point method (Ruuth and Merriman, J. Comput. Phys. 227(3):1943-1961, [2008]) is an embedding method developed to solve a variety of partial differential equations (PDEs) on smooth surfaces, using a closest point ...
• #### Longitudinal variations of brain functional connectivity: A case report study based on a mouse model of epilepsy ﻿

(2015-12-31)
Brain Functional Connectivity (FC) quantifies statistical dependencies between areas of the brain. FC has been widely used to address altered function of brain circuits in control conditions compared to different pathological ...
• #### 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 ...
• #### Meta-modeling on detailed geography for accurate prediction of invasive alien species dispersal ﻿

(2019-11-07)
Invasive species are recognized as a significant threat to biodiversity. The mathematical modeling of their spatio-temporal dynamics can provide significant help to environmental managers in devising suitable control ...
• #### Modeling cardiac structural heterogeneity via space-fractional differential equations ﻿

(2017)
We discuss here the use of non-local models in space and fractional order operators in the characterisation of structural complexity and the modeling of propagation in heterogeneous biological tissues. In the specific, we ...
• #### Modeling COVID-19: Challenges and results ﻿

(2020-10)
Weird times we are living in. While lots of technological, medical and scientific advances are generated in a short period of time, we are now fighting a pandemic, trying to stop the spread of a new virus that has not only ...
• #### Modeling dengue immune responses mediated by antibodies: A qualitative study ﻿

(2021-09-01)
Dengue fever is a viral mosquito-borne infection and a major international public health concern. With 2.5 billion people at risk of acquiring the infection around the world, disease severity is influenced by the immunological ...

• #### Modelling COVID 19 in the Basque Country from introduction to control measure response ﻿

(2020-10)
In March 2020, a multidisciplinary task force (so‐called Basque Modelling Task Force, BMTF) was created to assist the Basque health managers and Government during the COVID‐19 responses. BMTF is a modelling team, working ...
• #### A multiscale network-based model of contagion dynamics: heterogeneity, spatial distancing and vaccination ﻿
