Impact of biased movement on the spread of infectious diseases Many recent outbreaks and spatial spread of infectious diseases have been influenced by human movement over air, sea and land …
Intracelluar Transport: Understanding Force Dependent Stepping Within cells, small molecules such as glucose rely on diffusion to reach needed destinations. Larger structures, like vesicles and organelles, need directed transport to …
Models of crowding effect on phytoplankton competition for nitrogen In the previous study, we consider a chemostat model of phytoplankton competing for nitrogen taking into account effects of both intra- …
Reflections on the use of models to study global environmental change The work of my lab revolves around the mathematical modeling to understand interactions between major elements that cycle between …
Empirical Nonlinear Dynamics: Reconstructing the Dynamics of Real-World Systems from Available Data This seminar presents an empirical dynamics approach that permits available data to ‘speak first’ regarding the nature of …
The aim of Computational and Mathematical Population Dynamics 5 is to serve as a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and present mathematical results on topics including biology, ecology, environmental …
Spreading Mechanics and Differentiation of Astrocytes During Retinal Development In embryonic development, formation of the retinal vasculature is critically dependent on prior establishment of a mesh of astrocytes. Astrocytes emerge from …
Zika Modeling The Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic has caused an ongoing threat to global health security and spurred new investigations of the virus. Use of epidemiological models for arbovirus diseases can …
An Update on the Multi-Stage Model for Carcinogenesis The multistage model for carcinogenesis was first proposed by Armitage and Doll in 1954. There were two supporting pillars that supported the …
Soil carbon dynamics: models and questions Soil decomposition models are critical forunderstanding future climate, providing insight into a major natural source ofcarbon dioxide. Several recent models have been proposed which …
