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 ...
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, ...
Parameter estimates of the 2016-2017 Zika outbreak in Costa Rica: An Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) approach
(2019-03-28)
In Costa Rica, the first known cases of Zika were reported in 2016. We looked at the 2016-2017 Zika outbreak and explored the transmission dynamics using weekly reported data. A nonlinear differential equation single-outbreak ...
Uniform sparse bounds for discrete quadratic phase Hilbert transforms
(2017-09)
Consider the discrete quadratic phase Hilbert Transform acting on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ finitely supported
functions
$$
H^{\alpha} f(n) : = \sum_{m \neq 0} \frac{e^{i\alpha m^2} f(n - m)}{m}.
$$
We prove that, ...
Quenched distributions for the maximum, minimum and local time of the Brox diffusion
(2021)
After leaving fixed the environment, which is called the quenchend case, we give explicitly the distribution function of the maximum and the minimum of the Brox diffusion at first time it reaches a barrier. We also give ...
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 ...
Dengue model with early-life stage of vectors and age-structure within host
Modelo de dengue con etapa temprana en vectores y estructura de edad en el huésped
(2019-12)
We construct an epidemic model for the transmission of dengue fever with an early-life stage in the vector dynamics and age-structure within hosts. The early-life stage of the vector is modeled via a general function that ...
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 ...
