Scaling Behavior of Threshold Epidemics
We study the classic Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model for the spread of an infectious disease. In this stochastic process, there are two competing mechanism: infection and recovery. Susceptible individuals may contract the disease from infected individuals, while infected ones recover from the disease at a constant rate and are never infected again. Our focus is the behavior at the ep...
متن کاملScaling threshold characters.
A simple method of scaling ordered categorical responses having a joint distribution with an underlying normal variable is presented. Scores are developed that maximize heritability of the observed variate and that in the class of scores based on polychotomies: (1) maximize the correlation between score and the underlying genetic value to be predicted, and (2) minimize mean-square prediction er...
متن کاملScaling pain threshold with microRNAs.
P ain is not something universally enjoyed, especially chronic pain involving nerve damage, referred to as neuropathic pain (1). Pain perception can be modulated in a variety of ways—for example, by focusing attention on the painful stimulus. On page 1168 of this issue, Peng et al. (2) report that pain threshold in dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRG), which relay peripheral sensory information t...
متن کاملNumerical solution of threshold problems in epidemics and population dynamics
Anew algorithm is proposed for the numerical solution of threshold problems in epidemics and population dynamics. These problems aremodeled by the delay-differential equations, where the delay function is unknown and has to be determined from the threshold conditions. The new algorithm is based on embedded pair of continuous Runge–Kutta method of order p = 4 and discrete Runge–Kutta method of o...
متن کاملCritical behavior of charge-density waves below threshold: Numerical and scaling analysis.
The critical behavior of pinned charge density waves (CDW’s) is studied as the threshold for sliding is approached. Using the Fukuyama-Lee-Rice Hamiltonian with relaxational dynamics, the polarization and linear response are calculated numerically. Analytic bounds on the subthreshold motion are used to develop fast numerical algorithms for evolving the CDW configuration. Two approaches to thres...
