Transmission dynamics of Dengue in Costa Rica: The role of hospitalizations
Dinámica de la transmisión de dengue en Costa Rica: El rol de las hospitalizaciones
(2019-12)
For decades, dengue virus has caused major problems for public health officials in tropical and subtropical countries around the world. We construct a compartmental model that includes the role of hospitalized individuals ...
A partial differential equation model with age-structure and nonlinear recidivism: Conditions for a backward bifurcation and a general numerical implementation
(2019-12-15)
We formulate an age-structured three-staged nonlinear partial differential equation model that features nonlinear recidivism to the infected (infectious) class from the temporarily recovered class. Equilibria are computed, ...
Infection model for analyzing biological control of coffee rust using bacterial anti-fungal compounds
(2019-01)
Coffee rust is one of the main diseases that affect coffee plantations worldwide (Cressey, 2013 [10]). This causes an important economic impact in the coffee production industry in countries where coffee is an important ...
An overlapping Schwarz method for virtual element discretizations in two dimensions
(2019)
A new coarse space for domain decomposition methods is presented for nodal ellipticproblems in two dimensions. The coarse space is derived from the novel virtual elementmethods and therefore can accommodate quite irregular ...
A BDDC algorithm with deluxe scaling for H(curl) in two dimensions with irregular subdomains
(2015)
A bound is obtained for the condition number of a BDDC algorithm for problems posed in H(curl) in two dimensions, where the subdomains are only assumed to be uniform in the sense of Peter Jones. For the primal variable ...
Climate-Driven Statistical Models as Effective Predictors of Local Dengue Incidence in Costa Rica: A Generalized Additive Model and Random Forest Approach
Variables climáticas como predictores de la incidencia de dengue en Costa Rica: Un enfoque de modelo aditivo generalizado y bosques aleatorios
(2019-12)
Climate has been an important factor in shaping the distribution and incidence of dengue cases in tropical and subtropical countries. In CostaRica, a tropical country with distinctive micro-climates, dengue has been endemic ...
Climate-based descriptive models of dengue fever: The 2002 epidemic in Colima, Mexico
(2006-06)
Dengue is a public health problem on the rise in many tropical regions and affects approximately 100 million people every year worldwide. In this paper, the authors retrospectively assess the association between five ...
