We formulate a two-patch mathematical model for Ebola Virus Disease dynamics in order to evaluate the effectiveness of cordons sanitaires, mandatory movement restrictions between communities while exploring their role on disease dynamics and final epidemic size. Simulations show that severe restrictions in movement between high and low risk areas of closely linked communities may have a deleter...

Eutypa lata is a vascular pathogen of woody plants. In the present study we (i) determined which component(s) of the cell wall polymers were degraded in naturally infected grapevines and in artificially inoculated grape wood blocks; (ii) compared the pattern of wood decay in the tolerant grape cv. Merlot versus the susceptible cv. Cabernet Sauvignon; and (iii) identified secondary metabolites a...

This paper studies tradable mobility permit schemes in a monocentric city with distorting labor tax, considering spatially differentiated allocations of permits to households. Numerical results show that an allocation proportional supply reaches about 99.9% first-best welfare, clearly outperforming scheme lump-sum permits, and being more efficient than the second-best tax for levels 20% or high...

Abstract In the last decade, passion fruit cultivation has regained special importance expressed in increase of planting area order to supply growing markets. This study systematizes research and production experiences gathered more than three decades technical work central region Colombia, at locations Valle del Cauca, Huila, Tólima, Quindio Risaralda. Extensive field visits were conducted wit...

We studied the species diversity and abundance of small terrestrial mammals in spring autumn period 2016-2019 four groups habitats protected area “Sarykum barkhans” Dagestan Nature Reserve: barkhan, floodplain forest, ailant plantations, territory cordon. During study period, 10 were recorded – E. roumanicus, C. suaveolens, leucodon, M. musculus, macedonicus, A. fulvipectus, migratorius, social...

With the introduction of automated vehicles, new operating regimes for public transport services will become possible. A station-based Automated Transit on Demand service could be an attractive alternative to current modes transportation. In this paper, impact kind modal share city Zurich, Switzerland, and its surrounding area is modeled using agent-based approach. Different scenarios regarding...

The outbreak of COVID-19 disrupted our everyday life. Many local authorities enforced a cordon sanitaire for the protection sensitive areas. Travellers can only pass after tested. This paper aims to propose method design an on-ramp control scheme maximise urban freeway network throughput with predetermined queuing delay constraint at all off-ramps around sanitaire. A bi-level programming model ...
