Sandflies are widely distributed around the Mediterranean Basin. Therefore, human populations in this area are potentially exposed to sandfly-transmitted diseases, including those caused by phleboviruses. Whilst there are substantial data in countries located in the northern part of the Mediterranean basin, few data are available for North Africa. In this study, a total of 1489 sandflies were c...

A dynamic optimization strategy is presented to generate customized equations of state (EOS) for the numerical simulation of non-ideal fluids at high density ratio. While stable branches of the analytical EOS are preserved, the spinodal region is self-tuned during the simulation, in order to compensate for numerical errors caused by discretization in phase space. ∗Dept. of Chemical Engineering,...
