Brief wide-field photostimuli evoke and modulate oscillatory reverberating activity in cortical networks

Cell assemblies manipulation by optogenetics is pivotal to advance neuroscience and neuroengineering. In in vivo applications, photostimulation often broadly addresses a population of cells simultaneously, leading to feed-forward and to reverberating respo ...

Mobile phone data highlights the role of mass gatherings in the spreading of cholera outbreaks

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Flavio Finger

The spatiotemporal evolution of human mobility and the related fluctuations of population density are known to be key drivers of the dynamics of infectious disease outbreaks. These factors are particularly relevant in the case of mass gatherings, which may ...

Real-time projections of cholera outbreaks through data assimilation and rainfall forecasting

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Flavio Finger, Damiano Pasetto

Although treatment for cholera is well-known and cheap, outbreaks in epidemic regions still exact high death tolls mostly due to the unpreparedness of health care infrastructures to face unforeseen emergencies. In this context, mathematical models for the ...

Mechanistic insight into mycobacterial MmpL protein function

Stewart Cole, Edina Rita Székely

Mycobacterial cell walls are complex structures containing a broad range of unusual lipids, glycolipids and other polymers, some of which act as immunomodulators or virulence determinants. Better understanding of the enzymes involved in export processes wo ...

On crowdsensed data acquisition using multi-dimensional point processes

Karl Aberer, Saket Sathe

Crowdsensing applications are increasing at a tremendous rate. In crowdsensing, mobile sensors (humans, vehicle-mounted sensors, etc.) generate streams of information that is used for inferring high-level phenomena of interest (e.g, traffic jams, air pollu ...

Modeling Individual-Level Infection Dynamics Using Social Network Information

Marcel Salathé

Epidemic monitoring systems engaged in accurate discovery of infected individuals enable better understanding of the dynamics of epidemics and thus may promote effective disease mitigation or prevention. Currently, infection discovery systems require eithe ...

Fluid dynamics of basal entrainment by geophysical gravity-driven flows

Belinda Margaret Bates

Geophysical gravity-driven flows -- including avalanches, debris flows, pyroclastic flows and submarine turbidity currents -- are multiphase natural hazards that flow under the influence of gravity. Despite their differences, they share much of the same ph ...

Mathematical Modeling in Full-Field Optical Coherence Elastography

Pierre Robert Maurice Millien

We provide a mathematical analysis of and a numerical framework for full-field optical coherence elastography, which has unique features including micron-scale resolution, realtime processing, and noninvasive imaging. We develop a novel algorithm for trans ...

Fixed-order SISO controller design for H∞ loop shaping method using frequency responses

Alireza Karimi

Robust control is used for a system with uncertainties and disturbances. Above all, the H∞ loop shaping method is known as the method achieving good control performance. However, this method takes much time to build the mathematical model of an actual plan ...

An epidemic model for the interactions between thermal regime of rivers and transmission of proliferative kidney disease in salmonid fish

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) affects salmonid populations in European and North-American rivers. It is caused by the endoparasitic myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, which exploits freshwater bryozoans (Fredericella sultana) and salmonids as pri ...
