Dynamics of Nutrient-Phytoplankton Interaction in the Presence of Viral Infection and Periodic Nutrient Input
Chattopadhyay et al. [Biosystems (2003), 68, pp. 5-17] proposed and analyzed an N – P model in the presence of viral infection on phytoplankton population. They studied the dynamics under the constant nutrient input. The present paper deals with the problem with seasonal variability on nutrient input. We use a general periodic function for nutrient input. We observe the dynamics of the system by considering (i) the infected phytoplankton consumes nutrient and (ii) the infected phytoplankton is not...

Dynamics of Propagation Phenomena in Biological Pattern Formation
A large variety of complex spatio-temporal patterns emerge from the processes occurring in biological systems, one of them being the result of propagating phenomena. This wave-like structures can be modelled via reaction-diffusion equations. If a solution of a reaction-diffusion equation represents a travelling wave, the shape of the solution will be the same at all time and the speed of propagation of this shape will be a constant. Travelling wave solutions of reaction-diffusion systems have been...

Dynamics of Stochastic Neuronal Networks and the Connections to Random Graph Theory
We analyze a stochastic neuronal network model which corresponds to an all-to-all network of discretized integrate-and-fire neurons where the synapses are failure-prone. This network exhibits different phases of behavior corresponding to synchrony and asynchrony, and we show that this is due to the limiting mean-field system possessing multiple attractors. We also show that this mean-field limit exhibits a first-order phase transition as a function...
Dynamics of the tumor-immune system competition - the effect of time delay
The model analyzed in this paper is based on the model set forth by V.A. Kuznetsov and M.A. Taylor, which describes a competition between the tumor and immune cells. Kuznetsov and Taylor assumed that tumor-immune interactions can be described by a Michaelis-Menten function. In the present paper a simplified version of the Kuznetsov-Taylor model (where immune reactions are described by a bilinear term) is studied. On the other hand, the effect of time delay is taken into account in order to achieve...
Dynamics of Tuberculosis: The effect of Direct Observation Therapy Strategy (DOTS) in Nigeria
This paper presents mathematical models for tuberculosis and its dynamics under the implementation of the direct observation therapy strategy (DOTS) in Nigeria. The models establish conditions for the eradication of tuberculosis in Nigeria based on the fraction of detected infectious individuals placed under DOTS for treatment. Both numerical and qualitative analysis of the models were carried out and the effect of the fraction of detected cases of active TB on the various epidemiological classes...
