Modeling seasonal rabies epidemics in China.
Human rabies, an infection of the nervous system, is a major public-health problem in China. In the last 60 years (1950-2010) there had been 124,255 reported human rabies cases, an average of 2,037 cases per year. However, the factors and mechanisms behind the persistence and prevalence of human rabies have not become well understood. The monthly data of human rabies cases reported by the Chine...
متن کاملErratum to: Modeling Seasonal Rabies Epidemics in China
There were a few errors in the paper which are corrected as follows. 1. Page 1231, line 4 from the bottom, the sentence after " which is defined as z 0 such that " should be revised as " ρ(W (ω, 0, z 0)) = 1 which can be calculated and detailed computations are given in the Appendix ". 2. Page 1239, line 6 from the bottom, " 226,920 " should be replaced by " 226,890 " .
متن کاملSelf-Organizing Spatio-temporal Pattern Formation in Two-Dimensional Daisyworld
Watson and Lovelock’s daisyworld model [1] was devised to demonstrate how the biota of a world could stabilise it, driving it to a temperature regime that favoured survival of the biota. The subsequent studies have focused on the behaviour of daisyworld in various fields. This study looks at the emergent patterns that arise in 2D daisyworlds at different parameter settings, demonstrating that a...
متن کاملMechanisms for spatio-temporal pattern formation in highway traffic models.
A key qualitative requirement for highway traffic models is the ability to replicate a type of traffic jam popularly referred to as a phantom jam, shock wave or stop-and-go wave. Despite over 50 years of modelling, the precise mechanisms for the generation and propagation of stop-and-go waves and the associated spatio-temporal patterns are in dispute. However, the increasing availability of emp...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal synchronization of recurrent epidemics.
Long-term spatio-temporal datasets of disease incidences have made it clear that many recurring epidemics, especially childhood infections, tend to synchronize in-phase across suburbs. In some special cases, epidemics between suburbs have been found to oscillate in an out-of-phase ('antiphase') relationship for lengthy periods. Here, we use modelling techniques to help explain the presence of i...
