The Impact of Serotype Cross-Protection on Vaccine Trials: DENVax as a Case Study
(Vaccines, 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 ... -
Modeling COVID-19: Challenges and results
(European Communications in Mathematical and Theoretical Biology, 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 ... -
SHAR and effective SIR models: from dengue fever toy models to a COVID-19 fully parametrized SHARUCD framework
(Communication in Biomathematical Sciences, 2020)We review basic models of severe/hospitalized and mild/asymptomatic infection spreading (with classes of susceptibles S, hopsitalized H, asymptomatic A and recovered R, hence SHAR-models) and develop the notion of comparing ... -
Reproduction ratio and growth rates: Measures for an unfolding pandemic
(PLoS ONE, 2020-05)The initial exponential growth rate of an epidemic is an important measure that follows directly from data at hand, commonly used to infer the basic reproduction number. As the growth rates λ(t) of tested positive COVID-19 ... -
Condition-specific mortality risk can explain differences in COVID-19 case fatality ratios around the globe
(Public Health, 2020-09)Objectives With COVID-19 infections resulting in death according to a hierarchy of risks, with age and pre-existing health conditions enhancing disease severity, the objective of this study is to estimate the condition-specific ... -
Ethics of a partially effective dengue vaccine: Lessons from the Philippines
(Vaccine, 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 ... -
Modelling COVID 19 in the Basque Country from introduction to control measure response
(Nature Scientific Reports, 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 ... -
The Construction of Conforming-to-shape Truss Lattice Structures via 3D Sphere Packing
(Computer-Aided Design, 2020-11)Truss lattices are common in a wide variety of engineering applications, due to their high ratio of strength versus relative density. They are used both as the interior support for other structures, and as structures on ... -
Universal spectral features of different classes of random diffusivity processes
(New Journal of Physics, 2020-06-26)Stochastic models based on random diffusivities, such as the diffusing- diffusivity approach, are popular concepts for the description of non-Gaussian diffusion in heterogeneous media. Studies of these models typically ... -
Modeling latent infection transmissions through biosocial stochastic dynamics
(Plos One, 2020-08)The events of the recent SARS-CoV-2 epidemics have shown the importance of social factors, especially given the large number of asymptomatic cases that effectively spread the virus, which can cause a medical emergency to ... -
Manufacturing of screw rotors via 5-axis double-flank CNC machining
(Computer-Aided Design, 2020-11)We investigate a recently introduced methodology for 5-axis flank computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining, called double-flank milling [1]. We show that screw rotors are well suited for this manufacturing approach ... -

Characterizing envelopes of moving rotational cones and applications in CNC machining
(Computer Aided Geometric Design, 2020-10)Motivated by applications in CNC machining, we provide a characterization of surfaces which are enveloped by a one-parametric family of congruent rotational cones. As limit cases, we also address ruled surfaces and their ... -
Mutual information based feature subset selection in multivariate time series classification
(Pattern Recognition, 2020)This paper deals with supervised classification of multivariate time se- ries. In particular, the goal is to propose a filter method to select a subset of time series. Consequently, we adopt the framework proposed by Brown ... -
Sparse and weighted estimates for generalized Hörmander operators and commutators
(Monatshefte für Mathematik, 2019)In this paper a pointwise sparse domination for generalized Ho ̈rmander and also for iterated commutators with those operators is provided generalizing the sparse domination result in [24]. Relying upon that sparse domination ... -
The Role of Local Urban Traffic and Meteorological Conditions in Air Pollution: A Data-based Case Study in Madrid, Spainc
(National Meteorological Library & Archive Met Office, 2016)Urban air pollution is a matter of growing concern for both public adminis- trations and citizens. Road traffic is one of the main sources of air pollutants, though topography characteristics and meteorological conditions ... -
Optimal Phase Swapping in Low Voltage Distribution Networks based on Smart Meter Data and Optimization Heuristics
(tecnalia, 2017)In this paper a modified version of the Harmony Search al- gorithm is proposed as a novel tool for phase swapping in Low Voltage Distribution Networks where the objective is to determine to which phase each load should be ... -
On the Interplay between Scheduling Interval and Beamwidth Selection for Low-Latency and Reliable V2V mmWave Communications
(IEEE Xplore, 2017)The interest in mmWave communications has risen sharply in the last years motivated by their widespread con- sideration as a technological solution capable of dealing with the stringent rate requirements currently demanded ... -
A Grouping Harmony Search Algorithm for Assigning Resources to Users in WCDMA Mobile Networks
(Joint research laboratory on Artificial Intelligence, 2017)This paper explores the feasibility of a particular implemen- tation of a Grouping Harmony Search (GHS) algorithm to assign re- sources (codes, aggregate capacity, power) to users in Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access ...
