Contact switching as a control strategy for epidemic outbreaks.
We study the effects of switching social contacts as a strategy to control epidemic outbreaks. Connections between susceptible and infective individuals can be broken by either individual, and then reconnected to a randomly chosen member of the population. It is assumed that the reconnecting individual has no previous information on the epidemiological condition of the new contact. We show that...
متن کاملNo strategy to meet the HCV epidemic
Despite an estimated 84,000 deaths related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Europe each year, no strategy to respond to HCV is in place in the majority of European countries according to two surveys published in BMC [1-3]. Why is this so and does it matter? The lack of public interest in this important threat to public health is striking and probably explains the lack of policy responses...
متن کاملIntermittent social distancing strategy for epidemic control
We study the critical effect of an intermittent social distancing strategy on the propagation of epidemics in adaptive complex networks. We characterize the effect of our strategy in the framework of the susceptible-infected-recovered model. In our model, based on local information, a susceptible individual interrupts the contact with an infected individual with a probability σ and restores it ...
متن کاملWave Evolution in Water Bodies using Turbulent MPS Simulation
Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) which is a meshless and full Lagrangian method is employed to simulate nonlinear hydrodynamic behavior in a wide variety of engineering application including free surface water waves. In the present study, a numerical particle-based model is developed by the authors using MPS method to simulate different wave problems in the coastal waters. In this model flui...
